Photography – This is Another Story

#SundayStills: #Peek

Published on March 27, 2023March 26, 2023 by Yinglan9 Comments

Peek is certainly an interesting idea for this week’s #SundayStill Challenge. I’m not certain whether my photos even fits. I’ve been going through my old pictures this weekend and this photo jumped out at at me for this theme as the mountains are peeking from behind the trees.

I thought about keeping this picture in color but it looked strangely too green for my taste. Therefore, I went with the black and white look as well as cropping the photo according to the Rule of Thirds.

Here is a shot of the sun peeking for a few minutes from behind the clouds before setting on yet another day of storminess.

Finally, I found this shot of the waterfall in Yellowstone. I like that green that’s peeking, it gives it a rebellious vibe like that streak of water refuses to stay the same color as the rest of the waterfall.

#SundayStills: Out of this Amazing #World

Published on March 6, 2023March 5, 2023 by Yinglan14 Comments

I think the night sky is absolutely out of this world when getting to experience it with a camera. I shot this photo in my backyard in 2019 after all the lights were turned off in the house. When I saw the photo on the tiny screen of the camera, I couldn’t believe my eyes. What was that star that’s shining so bright?

I couldn’t see it with my naked eyes and haven’t gotten Photopill (a star tracker app) on my phone back then. If I had, I could’ve pointed the phone to the sky and it would’ve told me what star this was.

Aren’t night skies just the most amazing sight especially if seeing it through a camera?

I got some pretty interesting comments when I first posted this picture in 2015. I didn’t even see it at first but many reader saw the glare that looked like an alien spaceship. Do you see it?

Finally, how’s this for out of this #world? Doesn’t it look like something other than a cluster of cherry blossoms?
