A Photo a Week Challenge: Unexpected Window

Published on February 3, 2019February 2, 2019 by Yinglan10 Comments

As I was watching TV last night and mindlessly browsing my photos on my tablet, I came across this picture and thought, of course, how can I forget this picture?

I shot this picture two years ago as I was visiting Mount Rushmore. There was a small opening along the trail and I remember looking up upon entering and thought, this is a nice, unique perspective of George Washington.

Wits End Weekly Photo Challenge: Interesting Light

Published on January 28, 2019January 27, 2019 by Yinglan7 Comments

I think it’s interesting how the sunshine is casting a glow (almost like a spotlight) upon the trees.

Interesting how the top is a lighter color due to sunlight exposure. It’s almost a translucent blue.

This was taken in a cave lit mostly by the hole above the pool.

This was taken in a dark cave with little to no visible lighting. This light is from my aunt’s phone. She turned on the light to allow me to take this picture since I hadn’t master how to use the flash at the time.

Photo of the Day!

Published on December 25, 2018December 25, 2018 by Yinglan2 Comments

The best travel experience I’ve had 2018 was definitely my solo trip to Capitol Reef National Park in September. Of course, the trip was awesome. It made me realize the freedom of solo travel. I didn’t have to sleep and wake on schedule. I could choose what to eat and where to dine. And I could stop at any turnout and any hiking trail. Continue reading “Photo of the Day!” →

Catching people unaware – Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge

Published on December 14, 2018December 13, 2018 by Yinglan4 Comments

One way for a landscape photographer to catch people unaware: aim the camera higher than the height the people are standing or you can do what I do – go to a crowded place (like the City of Phoenix in China) and I can guarantee you can catch someone unaware.
