TWOI: 5/21/18

Good morning, and welcome to another new week!

This week’s set was very difficult to sort – I love them all for different reasons! I hope you like them, too.

This first one is of Yosemite’s Three Brothers. We ventured out early to catch them in the first rays of dawn, and we had to hike through several inches of snow to reach the viewpoint. Truthfully, I didn’t make it all the way to the official spot selected for this shoot; I was too distracted by the beauty of this vantage. But that’s ok; I like my angle better, anyway 🙂

TWOI: 5/7/18

Another week, another seven photos! How are you folks liking the new style? I’ve been trying it out for a while now, and though I like the new consistency it lends to my feed, I’m not always pleased with the muted colors. I have some more ideas that I’d like to try with my Instagram, so I might be rolling some of those out soon. I welcome your thoughts below!

This first picture was from a sunrise attempt in Tokyo. Honestly, while we were vacationing there, we didn’t give much thought to planning an official shoot. We merely walked across this bridge the night before, saw the cool tunnel effect the buildings lent, and noticed it also happened to face east. We just got up the next morning and hoped for the best.

As is often the case, the sun wasn’t in the right position to shine down this canal, and it was a bit cloudy anyway. However, I did appreciate the flock of seagulls that all took off from the water, giving me a more interesting subject to this otherwise mediocre scene.

This Week on Instagram: 4/14/17

My efforts on Instagram haven’t been as successful as I would have thought, so it appears I need to experiment a little differently. No new inductees to the 100 Club. We’ll see what next week reveals.

Once again, I was surprised this first image didn’t get more love. I absolutely couldn’t get enough of Landscape Arch. I didn’t initially have this picture in monochrome, but I kind of like how it turned out.
