japanese maple
Within an hour of me taking this picture, the snow had all melted off the maple. The photo was taken mid day. I stoped the camera down to make everything dark. Then I used a wireless flash (580EXII) to light the tree.
Mount Rainier at Reflection Lake
Mount Rainier at Reflection Lake , originally uploaded by HJRook . I'm going through my old digital photos. I took this in about July of 2001. Most of my old digital photos are just snaps with mediorcre framing, a boring subject or poorly lit. It took me a long time to learn how to work with the blues, grays and greens that are everywhere in Washington State. This is the first photo that I took and that I loved. I toyed with cropping out the rocks in the lower left. I left them in because it makes the photo more real. Anyone looking at this photo, could go to reflection lake and find the exact spot where I took this picture. And, if the wind and light were right, they could take one of their own.
