Lens-Artists Challenge #138: Natural Light


I love the topic of Natural Light because landscape photography is absolutely dependent on it, at least, in my opinion.

Lens-Artists Challenge #137: Soft


To me, the word soft can mean so many things – fluffy as in furs or feathers, delicate, and in photography, soft-focus, meaning the texture has been taken out of the photographs. This week, I hope these old photos can convey the meaning of soft.

Lens-Artists Challenge #136: Subjects that Begins with the Letter S


This week, for Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #136, we are challenged to find a photo that contains a subject which begins with the letter S. I decided to get creative with this photo. Hope you like it.

Lens-Artists Challenge #135: Glimpse into Your World


This week, Sheetalbravon is guest-hosting this challenge and she challenges us to show a glimpse into our world – things that make our world spin or things that makes us happy.

Lens-Artists Challenge #134: From Forgettable to Favorite


A few weekends ago, I spent a few hours sitting before my laptop with Adobe Lightroom Classic opened on the second monitor sorting photos. I knew I had a lot of photos but I was not expecting to be almost 5,000 photos. How did I manage to take so many photos and not remember that…

Lens-Artists Challenge #133: My Photography Journey


I think my photography journey truly began when I took and posted this photo (above) at the end of March 2015. It was this close up of the Japanese Plum Blossom taken with a simple Fuji 7.2 megapixel point-and-shoot that got me interested in photography and I haven’t stopped much since.

Lens-Artists Challenge #131: All About Emotions


The theme for this week’s Lens-Artists Challenge is Emotions, which really made me think hard as I don’t normally take portraits nor any photos portraying emotions. It resulted in me digging into photos which was an interesting task as I discovered photos I didn’t even know I had.

Lens-Artists Challenge #130: It’s a Small World


I love macros. They are so exotic and different and really only can be seen either with a magnifying glass, a dedicated macro lens, or in my case, a good ol’ regular camera lens with a screw-on macro filter. These filters are tricky to use sometimes as everything must be completely still and as you…

Lens-Artists Challenge #129: Favorite Image of 2020


If I have to pick my all-time favorite image of 2020, it would be this one and it’s not because I was all alone and could take my sweet time to create this awesome landscape.

Lens-Artists Challenge #128: And Here Comes the Holiday Season


When I think of the holidays at the end of the year, I think of the wonderful and marvelous light displays at local parks. Not only are the lights pretty, it allows me to practice my night photography and bokeh photography on my wide-aperture lens.

Lens-Artists Challenge #127: Precious Moments


There is something about nature that if you manage to catch it in the right moment and under the right light, it’s so beautiful that you will remember it for the rest of your life. I got the chance to witness such wonder this year during the height of autumn on September 20th. I was…

Lens-Artists Challenge #81: Find Something Red


This week on the Lens-Artist Challenge, we were challenged to “find something red”, which reminded me that it was Chinese New Year this past Saturday and just about everyone I know knows the color red is seen just about everywhere during Chinese New Year – red lantern, lights, red envelopes… Therefore, I think it’s fitting…

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge: Splash


I absolutely love water photography and take every chance I can get to photograph it. This picture is from my most recent trip to Bear Lake. It was my second time to visit this beautiful lake. My first time was in September. This time, I came with my mom and her friends. I was once…

The search for autumn colors continues...
I'm always looking for #inspirations to make my photos or to take a second glance at photos taken a while back. This is the latest. I took this when I #hikes the Three Lakes Divide Loop in August 2020.
Of all the pictures I took on the hike, these have to be my favorite.
So many layers of beautiful autumn colors in Ogden, Utah!
Got this on my hike today, so pretty, just a lone tree against a cliff.
Some photos from my hike on the Three Divide Lakes Loop last week. It was a long hike but it was well worth it.
