Day 23 of Thirty Day 2017 had me exploring Alameda Island prior to Thanksgiving dinner. On a nice November morning I headed to the shore to capture the motion of the bay on this day. Positioning my camera close to the water I captured the water as it moved to the shore being careful not to get the camera too close into the water. By positioning the camera just a little different it tells a story which you may not expect being along the bay.
On Day 21 of Thirty Days 2017 I was heading back across San Francisco Bay to Bay Farm Island as the sky started to light up during sunset. From the back of the ferry I watched as the sky changed color first across San Francisco and then across the peninsula as the ferry headed south. This was a nice surprise after a day exploring the City and Angel Island.
Along the water on Bay Farm Island the trees can mostly be found on a slant to to the winds in the area. This has always been fun to capture with my camera thus I headed out there on Day 20 of Thirty Days 2017. As more growth has occurred in the area some of the trees which I have photographed in the past no longer have a view of the water but tree still does, until the next office building development takes shape.
Day 19 of Thirty Days 2017 had me traveling west and taking pictures out of the plane with my phone. From capturing the drainage of Western Colorado to the deserts of Utah and Nevada, and then the roads in California as we made our approach into the Bay Area. It is always a different perspective when photographing from the sky and how the world looks from that angle.
It was a clear cool day in Denver on Day 18 of Thirty Days 2017. However right at sunset a single cloud formed a line in the sky which I turned my attention to and photographed. After the time of sunset the cloud started to turn into varying shades of pinks and oranges. As you may recall on Day 17 of Thirty Days 2017 I used a ND filter to capture motion, thus today I thought above the difference of moving the camera to give a slight effect as well. Just a little motion can change the image you are capturing and also communicate a different story as well.
A quick change to the weather happened in the afternoon of Day 17 of Thirty Days 2017 as a fast moving storm made its way into Denver. It was quiet obvious when the front passed through as the clouds picked up in a line versus the clear skies of earlier in the day. I used a 10-stop ND filter to capture this image. This type of filter adds a darker front to the camera so you can photograph using a longer shutter speed. This filter can be used on a sunny day to allow for a specific shutter speed on the camera to be used for a shallow depth of field or also allow for longer shutter speeds to allow the capture of motion as I did in this image.
The Breakthrough Photography ND filter comes in varying sizes and either a 3-stop, 6-stop or 10-stops.
As I was walking past the Art Hotel in the Golden Triangle area of Denver on Day 16 of Thirty Days 2017, I noticed the reflection of the hotel in the early morning light. History Colorado was providing the reflection of the building and I worked to find a perspective of whether or not to include the building in the image. For me including the building added perspective of size versus the close-up of the reflection in this instance.
The leaves have fallen for the most part in the Denver area which now lets us see the formation of the trees themselves. We may wonder the shapes and directions the branches take as we look at them without their coverings. This tree caught my eye on Day 15 of Thirty Days 2017 since it was standing above the rest of the trees in the area and has its own story to tell against the afternoon sky.
