Photography again - I love it



I am just sitting down to look at the days pictures. I went to American Fork canyon this morning to see if I could get any good shots. I saw some good views but it's not easy to record what you see with your eyes. What I mean is, you can snap a picture of what you see, but it rarely turns out "exactly" like you saw it. The great pictures are the ones that turn out just like you stopped that moment in time. Other good ones are recorded to the flash memory inside the camera with a little "flare" that wasn't there when you saw the scene with your eyes. In the shot of the water in high resolution you can see at least 3 or 4 "levels". You can see the top of the water, the stuff floating on the water, stuff under the water, and the reflection of the trees and mountains. This isn't a great picture but it's interesting to see all the elements.

It was a great morning at Tibblefork when the sun came up.

I wish I could be somewhere like this every morning. I don't think I can take much more of the 8 hours a day behind a desk unless it's working for myself. Friday (yesterday) was my last day at the Murray office. It's a constant struggle for me to go to work every day. I am really having a hard time with it. I would give anything to find a different way to make my house payment and have insurance. It's human nature to resist change. Knowing this does not help ease the apprehension and the job I do is not a challenge. It's monotonous. I need something to get excited about. That's my thought of the day.

  1. Beautiful pictures!! You should try and get a job in photography or take some classes, maybe that would give you something to look forward to. Or enter a contest and see if you can win some moo-lah!

  3. you're doing a good job with composition. Maybe you should consider the trip to Sitka. You wouldn't ever want to come back because it's so beautiful! But there are lots of great spots here too. Remind me to tell you about Torrey Ut. They have a Bed and Breakfast in an old school house that is surrounded by red rock formations. Dad and I are thinking of going and you could get some great shots!
