Out and about this morning on the Davidson Mesa Open Space in Louisville, Colorado in hopes of photographing a near full Moon setting behind the Flatirons at sunrise.
In the end, it was more about the clouds–with apologies to Alfred Stieglitz and his “equivalents“…photographs that might represent an inner state, emotions, or ideas…
Here is a third, recent (August 25) photo essay to add to my “Neo-Topo” portfolio.
The location this time? In and around the little-but-bustling burg of Dacono, Colorado, just west of I-25…on the plains, but with great views to the west of the big Front Range peaks…
This is a follow-on from yesterday’s Neo-Topo blog…this time, some images from the West Grange subdivision now rapidly going in at Nelson Road and 75th Street in Longmont, Colorado. They are also working on widening Nelson Road at his point since the number of automobiles will (obviously) increase dramatically…
Being back in Colorado temporarily has given me an opportunity to go back out to those areas of Boulder County and Weld County that are rapidly being undeveloped (sic) into suburbia.
From Great Plains to Great Shames. (Yes, I’m a hypocrite. I grew up and have lived in suburbia myself.)
It has been a year since my last visit out here and the developers have been as busy as the proverbial honey bees of summer…
Here is a good example of how you can use the extra megapixels of the Nikon D850 (or any other high MP camera) to turn your relatively short walk-around lens into a much longer telephoto lens–and move in close enough to give a froggy a kiss…
Nothing like a quiet, solo walk at Walden Ponds Wildlife Habitat to bring on the reflections.
Emotional and cerebral (ephemeral?) reflections on life and on what the future might hold…
I have been thinking, after this most recent purchase*, that I will likely never buy another big, heavy, expensive, DSLR camera again. (Of course, never say “never”, right?)
Life is fun and funny…
Until it isn’t…
Yes, they are called “mammatus clouds” and, yes, that word comes from “mammary”, or “breast-related”…like giant udders in the sky that will eventually leak down upon you–although rain in this case…
