Rhythm in Stalks Image by: Krista McCuish Photography Social distancing during COVID-19 in Nova Scotia meant spending much time in my front yard and studio, where I discovered a garden variety take on rhythm and form. Our premier and provincial health orders stated that "we should stay the blazes home!" No problem for me. It was a good time to think about what nature offers with a world of material to work with right outside the front door. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1591387671132-EOLN1QB167MXQTP1OG76/Backyard+Explorer.jpg COVID-19: Constraints and Creativity - Backyard Explorer Image by: Scott Aspinall One morning, as I made my coffee, I looked out the dining room window and noticed the puddle where my kids splashed around the previous day was now frozen over. Having been unable to get anywhere with my camera because of COVID-19, I wandered out into my backyard to see if the ice had some interesting character. I'm happy I did. It became cold quickly overnight, which created some interesting textures. For added interest, the wind blew some leaves into the puddle before it froze. I finished photographing this just as my kids ventured out, destroying this fragile scene. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1591384986334-COBPEB53E1S63F76GVMV/A-Tale-of-Two-Seasons.jpg COVID-19: Constraints and Creativity - A Tale of Two Seasons Image by: Jeff Freestone Photography My Autumn in quarantine was about slowing down and taking in my surroundings and really trying to tell a story with my images. The story I wanted to tell specifically was the transition between Autumn into Winter. The last vibrant leaves holding on before giving in to the cold gloomy weather that awaits. I liked this small scene as it told this story in part with the branches looking as though winter had already set upon them and the last of the vibrant yellow leaves providing a nice contrast. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1591385659471-49STTWM9AFCH2VO5N6WQ/collective-isolation-6.jpg COVID-19: Constraints and Creativity - Collective Isolation Image by: Nick Becker One thing that months of relative isolation have reminded me is not to take for granted the photographic opportunities that are nearby. This image is one of six in a series called “Collective Isolation,” and each one was taken in my back yard using a 60mm macro lens. Shallow depth of field, black and white rendering, and strong contrast were a few of the tools that enabled me to look beyond my subjects and realize the abstract aesthetic that I was seeking. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1591388484027-3WRAM45GX729TE1LMGTF/Purple+Hyacinthe.jpg COVID-19: Constraints and Creativity - Purple Hyacinths Image by: Daniel Gomez / Dream Captured Images Sprouting Blue Wood Hyacinth is one of the first signs of spring at my house. It shines a deep hue of purple/blue especially when viewed in the shade. For a subject that was just outside my front door, it took me a frustrating amount of times to obtain the perfect conditions of indirect light and lack of wind. I used my rocket blower to clean off as much dirt as possible from the purple leaves, but in the end had to use the magic of photoshop. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1591467635337-SDCNIVCKV5JDIADRL4C8/Laura+Zirino.In+My+Dreams.jpg COVID-19: Constraints and Creativity - In My Dreams Image by: Laura Zirino I have always been a devotee of slowing down, but the COVID-19 crisis brought it to a new level as the outside suddenly was off-limits. This forced me to really slow down and look within for a creative outlet. I watched processing videos, learned new techniques, and began expressing my creativity on older shots (yes, lots of dumpster diving) that found new life through my newly learned skills. While it was frustrating not having the connection to nature that normally gets me through, slowing down inside allowed me to develop a side of myself that I might not have found. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1591384823579-B69GRIP3KPIS39Y7RTQ5/Substitute+Forest.jpg COVID-19: Constraints and Creativity - Substitute Forest Image by: Eric R. Heath I choose to experiment with macro photography during the lockdown, embarking on a backyard macro project to stay creative. Laying in the grass while trying not to damage my own flowers replaced my hiking boots and weekend photography adventures. This image is the next best thing to backlit trees on a mountain slope that I found on my journey around the backyard. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1591385444318-KMOIMHB0ABYF6508PB0Z/Shades+of+Pink-+Kristen+Ryan+Photography-001.jpg COVID-19: Constraints and Creativity - Shades of Pink Image by: Kristen Ryan Photography After all my travels were cancelled during the COVID quarantine, I took to a personal project exploring my backyard with my 150-600 telephoto lens. With all the turmoil and uncertainty, there is peace and joy in observing the beauty of nature in all its simple and extraordinary magic. This image was captured at 600mm shutter painting the colors of the sunset on the pond in our neighborhood. This is a technique I often use while exploring the beach or groups of trees, yet never explored in my own backyard. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1591385835593-RKTFNXGU88WH4D08JWNW/SPM_Perry.jpg COVID-19: Constraints and Creativity - Seeds Image by: Kristin Perry COVID-19 required intense decision making energy, it would’ve been easy to fall into exhaustion and avoidance. To avoid complacency, I looked to Instagram for inspiration - the Slow Photography Movement got me engaged and the mindfulness activities from Look Again Photos got me focused. Staying creative required a team effort! Before, I would've never taken interest in a scraggly dandelion, focusing on texture, though, I was able to slow down, see differently, and create an image that calms. Oftentimes, a shift in perspective is what's required to seed transformation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1591387940537-2KAHB4TJM7XC19XSK0QN/unnamed.jpg COVID-19: Constraints and Creativity - Morse Code Image by: Anna Morgan / Bluetusk Images I spotted this interesting piece of birch bark on a local walk just as social distancing became mandatory in B.C. I immediately knew it was special, and the blue dots and brown dashes made me think of morse code. We had a badly timed house move soon after but, as soon as I found this within the moving boxes, I found some time to capture its beauty. For me, creativity comes from looking with an open mind and being alert to the possibilities, and this image represents that perfectly; a piece of art otherwise confined to the leaf litter came to life in a period of extreme slowing down. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1591386919413-TZMN5ZXSPCH3H05GROEX/926FFBDC-79C4-461E-9349-A27F97423925.jpeg COVID-19: Constraints and Creativity - Inquisitive Image by: Brynn Hendricks Schmidt During our Covid-19 shelter at home orders, I spent a lot of my time capturing birds, foxes, rabbits and squirrels that live on our one acre property. This is the second year in a row we have had a fox den at the back of our yard, so we were fortunate to watch kits grow up this spring. I am able to photograph the animals in our yard from a safe distance without bothering them or altering their behavior in any way. I shoot wildlife with a Canon 7D Mark II and 400mm/2.8 fixed lens with 1.4 extender. The five little fox kits were so curious and playful and I spent many hours watching them before they moved on in mid-May. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1591387070779-GW4FW1B1Q0TA3KDZXRJS/unnamed-2.jpg COVID-19: Constraints and Creativity - Free Spirit Image by: Tara Workman The pandemic has been stifling in so many ways but through photography I found a freedom I never anticipated. This image was created as I made the conscious decision to make the most of my surroundings and experiment with my camera in new ways. Looking through the viewfinder I felt as carefree as ever, and subsequently found my solace. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1591388808252-M6M64UWOKZ1F0728GIA3/To+the+Brink.jpg COVID-19: Constraints and Creativity - To the Brink Image by: Patrick J. Krohn / One-Eyed Dog Studios My 5-mile commute to and from work was the most likely time for me to find photos. Working from home, I now need to make an effort to check out areas of my town. The easier thing to do is just explore the plants in my yard or throughout my neighborhood. One evening I was having fun finding patterns in the hasta and watching this little blank ant cruise around the leaves. I liked it best when it would stop and look over the edge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1591393209622-GBKFGTJNEJDNDF5ZUKLW/forest_in_the_stems_2000.jpg COVID-19: Constraints and Creativity - Forest in the Stems Image by: James Rodewald / Nature’s Sake Photography The Adirondack woodlands that surround my home inspire much of my work, but as the COVID pandemic unfolded those woodlands were effectively closed. To pass the time I learned to draw inspiration from subjects within my gardens. As I pushed myself to try to reveal the beauty of the mundane and familiar within these confines I found myself taken by these new subjects and fascinated by the way in which light changes them throughout the day. Although I miss exploring the larger woodlands, I now take solace in the fact that the trail starts off the back step. https://www.slowphotographymovement.com/there-is-no-bad-light daily 0.75 2022-10-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1602990309852-XD0P4VWQS56XWPNE9DSF/Lily+Pads+and+Water+Drops.jpg There is No Bad Light - Lily Pads and Water Drops Image by: Leanne Zeller Our popular local Arboretum was reopening by reservation only, and I was able to get in during the middle of a bright, sunny July day - not the best lighting situation. I was intrigued by the metallic-like sheen on these lily pads and how it accentuated the water drops while providing an interesting contrast in the bright sunlight. I chose to expose for the highlights, letting the water go black. I was happy with the result and decided that there's no bad light in photography - only opportunities for alternative interpretations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1602988799610-UWB4CH7XHXSSVVXBB3AV/unnamed+copy+2.jpg There is No Bad Light - Spring Abstract Image by: Kristen Ryan Photography Our Arboretum finally opened up this month and I was so happy to go spend a morning exploring by myself. A sunny, clear sky day worked beautifully to bring out the colors in this group of trees. I used slow intentional camera movement for a somewhat abstract feel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1602989882041-X6V42KKS0FHGU3NNRPTB/Time.jpg There is No Bad Light - Time Image by: Anna Morgan / Bluetusk Images Geological time in the igneous rock, the time that water takes to filter through the layers of rock before emerging in a ground spring, the 8 and a half minutes (give or take) that the light takes to reach the earth from the sun, and the fleeting nature of their interactions that give rise to scenes like this. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1602988547474-A1QKVEE3NB91KJH0ADN1/unnamed+copy.jpg There is No Bad Light - Aortic Branches Image by: Logan Hertes One warm and bright afternoon I ventured out to a local recreational hiking spot for some peak fall conditions. When I spotted this scene I absolutely loved the contrast between the dark branches and the trunk of the tree against the backlit leaves. Timing could not have been more perfect as the leaves were just starting to turn over, creating a beautiful colour pallet of green, yellow, and orange. The only challenge about this shot was the blaring sun beaming directly into my eyes. I blindly set up, and took the shot hoping for the best outcome. When I returned home to review the image I was extremely pleased with the result. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1602989294983-XHUJAAQQ1ORMGDG2GNEW/A-Tale-of-Two-Seasons.jpg There is No Bad Light - A Tale of Two Seasons Image by: Patrick Krohn / One-Eyed Dog Studios The “No Bad Light” challenge from SPM came at the right time for me. I had just set myself the same task to photograph as much as I could using just the harsh, midday, summer sun. I found the best results when using the sun as a spotlight through foliage or even better, as a backlight. In this photo, I liked how the harsh, late morning light backlit the tops of these goldenrods and gave the whole scene this yellowish glow. The shallow DOF made one bush stand out and look a little like they could be faces in a crowd. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1602991089790-XAM6SZFH2HJOJ1K3X9AP/unnamed+copy+3.jpg There is No Bad Light - Character Image by: Martha Montiel "Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved."⁠ ⁠ - Helen Keller ⁠ ⁠ I'd say this lonely tree in the desert definitely has character. It has grown and thrived despite the harsh circumstances of the desert. ⁠ Visiting the desert in Dubai earlier this year was an amazing experience. I can't wait to travel the world again and discover more amazing places and see different cultures.⁠ ⁠The light at the time of this photo was harsh. I was shooting in direct sunlight but I loved the clear and crisp outlines this provided. We all love the sweet light sunset and sunrise provides but it is cool when we can make an image work with very contrasty lights and shadows. ⁠ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1602990114748-G6Q8AIHG5Q975DGW9DEU/Transcendence+in+Bee+Balm.jpg There is No Bad Light - Transcendence in Bee Balm Image by: Kristin Perry As a female photographer who often explores nature solo, discernment has required making the majority of my images in full light. These safety measures have taught me to ditch etiquette, travel beyond artistic norms, pay closer attention to the subtle beauty around me, and bask in the glow of Mother Nature's daytime beauty. It's certainly not always the case, but, if you're open and observant, committing this act of photographic discretion has the potential to offer transcendence! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1602988142569-5V5NPWSCMD95XZ6XNVII/Feminine+mystique.jpg There is No Bad Light - Feminine Mystique Image by: Ernesto Ruiz www.ernestoruizphotography.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1602988355105-KULY2UJ0I6XDNRFWA3ID/RebeccaHedges-5658.jpg There is No Bad Light - Lazy Summer Days Image by: Rebecca Hedges I love summer days, being outdoors in the sun and wind, but these are often the times when I make the fewest pictures. It can be challenging! Sometimes I find that it’s best to stop looking and just lie in the grass and let the pictures find me! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1602990865656-3Q515TH0A18RHKAJIHUI/spm1370landscape.jpg There is No Bad Light - Moored on a Mountain Image by: Sherri Cox I marveled at the peaceful beauty of a boat at rest on the Strynsvatnet Lake in the idyllic village of Hjelle, Norway. I took this photo at midday, when the direct sunlight falling on the mountains was very harsh. I decided to leave the mountains out of this frame and only include their reflection, which lend an impressionistic feel to the photo. I adjusted the shutter speed to freeze the glasslike reflection. With the sun almost directly overhead, I was able to capture the intense blue sky reflected in the lake. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1602987849707-E2RF6VTRW7G55Q7JWDUO/unnamed.jpg There is No Bad Light - Branch Out Image by: Tara Workman Our experiences and choices mold us into the humans we become, with each experience shaping different layers of our personality. But just like the trunk of this tree, there are fundamentals that make us who we are. 2020 has been a year of branching out in many ways for me, but I will forever be grounded by my roots. This is an image I took while intentionally looking for B&W scenes. The blue sky and cloudless day presented a perfect opportunity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1602990574830-ZAPOPGDO2HL42DCIPQRT/Chakraborty_SPM_No+Bad+Light.jpg There is No Bad Light - de Broglie Wave Image by: Saikat Chakraborty Sunlight hardly penetrates into the depths of this place, thus the name “Black Canyon”. The Gunnison River remains near freezing temperatures for most of the year. I made this image a little after midday, when the sun finally struck the lower levels of the canyon and the fresh Spring greens cast a painterly look on the surface of the water. Some reflected light bouncing off the canyon walls added to the unique conditions at the bottom. I have much to learn about how the light interacts with the landscape but, over the years, I have come to realize that there is no such thing as bad light. https://www.slowphotographymovement.com/textures daily 0.75 2022-10-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1610923592538-5HX7WS6KIAV4F0RUOAKI/SPM+Mineral+Spa.jpg Textures - Mineral Spa Image by: Matt Newfield This is nature's concoction of earth's finest particles put together over millions of years. A lot of time and energy went into the making of these textures. 150 frames and two sore knees later, the light had made its mark! The last few moments of sunset really gave these textures the dimension I was hoping for. With the sun on the horizon, a flood of warm light came in, blanketing the scene. Definitely one of my favorite abstracts I've shot to date. This image will always have special meaning, as my daughter and I shot this scene together. I dedicate this image to her! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1610924685317-HX8IKDXVJR4BPYJSL1JL/MiniatureForestSPM.jpg Textures - Miniature Forest Image by: Alberto Bellini Wandering through the forest I found this green ground cover with interesting textures, and its shape reminded me of a miniature fir forest. The brown leaves gave the image a sense of time, and the side light coming from an opening in the canopy was perfect to enhance the textures. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1610925582188-RLO9KC1HXJPUI03ZIBDI/_DSC5648_On1_11222020+copy1.jpg Textures - Ignored Image by: J Warren Wolski I get it; big grand landscapes are a wonder to behold. But what about the small? The parts of the greater whole? These are the things that time and time again draw me in and capture my attention. It's in these moments of exploring small details that I feel most grounded, perhaps because I'm often literally laying on the ground to photograph them. So here's a photo of a dead tree stump, in an empty lot, behind a friend's house, captured on a clear day… Far away from any big grand landscapes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1610926637614-523VHRITGEVBVWWHUMRW/Matt-Hayes--Natural-Spirals--2000x1333.jpg Textures - Natural Spirals Image by: Matt Hayes On this particular visit to Lido Beach, Florida, over two days of gusting winds created amazing patterns in the lowlands, just below the dunes. I noticed this composition that portrayed an array of spirals, much like everywhere in the universe. I waited until the golden hour turned to blue hour, allowing for a longer exposure to capture the light and textures. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1610927211643-A93KE1A2TAEQ97GKWKSF/SPM.jpg Textures - Amalgam Image by: Sapna Reddy Since I do not own a drone, aerial landscapes are usually well beyond my reach. This particular location in Utah though does not require a drone. Standing on the edge of a ridge you get to look down on what looks like an extraterrestrial landscape, colors and textures melting together to form a visual amalgam that leaves you wondering if it’s all just a dream. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1610927625030-1IF9H253QLHV03CNTTWN/charles-corbin-hydrocarbon.jpg Textures - Hydrocarbon Image by: Charles David Corbin I captured this small scene during one of my regular nature walks. The orange and brown of the leaves contrasted beautifully with the blue of the sky reflected by the natural oils on the water's surface. After several hand held images to fine tune the composition, I set up a tripod for the final image. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1610924132563-33KPYLTZI2UL6419DGH7/Image.jpeg Textures - King of Dinorwic Image by: Tom Blockley Exploring the harsh landscape of the Welsh slate mines in Dinorwic Quarry, Snowdonia, Wales on a winter day, I spotted this lone goat walking along a ridge line of slate. I noticed the mound of slate kept on going up, so I kept as close as I could, hoping the goat would stop at the summit, and luckily, he did. I love how the slate angles to the left, towards the light and the Snowdon range, and the contrast in textures between the slate and the goat’s hair. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1610925278652-5PX1ZCWDO4L8GPPRHDPA/Premonition.jpg Textures - Premonition Image by: Ernesto Ruiz www.ernestoruizphotography.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1610926230447-DELURZ9T4NW9ITR72H5Z/rodewald-black-rhino-ed-3-SPM.jpg Textures - Black Rhino. ed. 3 Image by: James Rodewald (Nature’s Sake Photography) This image is the neck and shoulder of a black rhino currently residing at the San Diego zoo. It was created with a standard telephoto zoom and as low of a shutter speed and ISO as I could achieve hand held. My motivation for creating this image, which is part of a larger collection of abstracts, was to raise awareness of how beautiful some animals can be on a personal scale. Particularly those which are threatened. By revealing their essence, it is my hope that we may advocate for their conservation more urgently. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1610926964764-KCGD721WEKFT7UQSHZZH/Leanne+Zeller+-+Enduring+the+Storm.jpg Textures - Enduring the Storm Image by: Leanne Zeller After the blizzard, there were many unusual textures in the snow to explore. Showing these textures in a photograph, however, was challenging, especially since the subject was all white. The rough, uneven surface in this particular area allowed light and shadows to reveal the texture more clearly. My theory is that the extreme winds combined with some melting and refreezing of the snow created this intriguing pattern. How the hydrangea leaf remained there through the high winds is a mystery. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1610927428732-WE5K8IZD8AL00HCMDUZO/Ripples+and+Shadows+2+1000x1000.jpg Textures - Ripples and Shadows #2 Image by: Jonathan Sau Photography The interplay of light and shadows on sand dunes is ever changing. On this day I had been busy shooting since first light hit the dunes. As the sun rose higher and the light grew stronger and harsher, it was about time to pack up and go. Scanning the landscape for one last composition, I spotted the ripple pattern on a ridge. The sun just started to illuminate the shadow side of the dune, and the delicate sidelight brought out extra texture that was hidden in the dark shadow just minutes ago. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1610927742887-LMBXI306BUUKJQDKZ7HC/_DSC0885-Edit.jpg Textures - Weathered Image by: Aim Lorejas On my first day at Death Valley I came across this scene and was fascinated by this weathered brush. I did a lot of what-ifs working this scene: What if I move to the left or right? What if I go lower, or climb up higher on the dune, or change my focal length? Yet none of it seemed to work, and I moved on. On my second day, I came across it again at midday as I was looking for a sunset comp. So I thought, what if I photograph this during blue hour, to separate the brush and dunes? That strategy worked out well, as this is my favorite shot from the trip. https://www.slowphotographymovement.com/submit-now daily 0.75 2022-10-06 https://www.slowphotographymovement.com/on-the-horizon daily 0.75 2022-10-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1618103904512-EP1G5Z60EXIVT7G6JPCZ/SPM_ONTHEHORIZON.jpg On The Horizon - Perfectly Imperfect Image by: Rachael May Being perfect is overrated. I came back to this snowflake so many times because it was missing a delicate little arm. Full hexagonal snowflakes fell all around, yet this guy grabbed my attention over and over. He was different. Different from the snowflakes falling all around and different from any macro snowflake I’d ever seen. This is what I see on my horizon this year when it comes to photography, letting my interests take front and center over creating images that look like someone else’s. Slowing down, wandering and finding little compositions that speak to me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1618104829960-5NB9L2JYLMSG24S8BVRI/Corbin+-+Luck+Redux.jpg On The Horizon - Luck Redux Image by: Charles David Corbin I'm not really a planner when it comes to photography. Most images just 'happen'. Sometimes (rarely) I'm in the right place at the right time. This year, I'm going to make more time for myself, hopefully increasing the odds of seeing scenes like this one more often. I probably won't be planning much more, but at least I'll be outside enjoying the view, and that's never a bad thing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1618105527808-4Q9W2MIFE277E3NPKJDK/Leanne+Zeller+-+Melting+Ice.jpg On The Horizon - Melting Ice Image by: Leanne Zeller Water is a fascinating photographic subject in all its forms. Melting and freezing cycles in the spring produce some beautiful intimate scenes. Sometimes they are revealed only after capturing them with a macro lens. I discovered these interesting details in the melting ice on our pool cover. As the weather warms, I plan to explore the local lakes and other places where water can be found. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1618148018151-27T5UTFEIDLPCSBW4H0V/SPM+Horizon+Kristy+Sharkey.jpg On The Horizon - Make Your Own Tracks Image by: Kristy Sharkey The Palouse region is one of Washington State’s seven wonders and is known for its vast landscapes of rolling wheat farms. While its grandeur is something to behold (and photograph), this simpler scene and story spoke to me. In a year where I’ve had the same patterns and routine day in and day out, I’m very much looking forward to making some new tracks in the coming year! This scene gave me a bit more inspiration to go against the grain. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1618148672029-4CAKT6TWY0VSVDHV5WNU/A-Perfect-Disturbance_Greg-Suryn.jpg On The Horizon - A Perfect Disturbance Image by: Greg Suryn As a chemist by training and a photographer by sight, I have always been drawn to crystals and abstract images. I started my photography journey with these scenes, and I've drifted back to them during this past year. Crystals tend to be uniform in their look, however a disturbance during crystallization can produce an anomaly. Just like the crystals, sometimes a disturbance to the flow of our photography can produce a change that gives a different beauty to our work going forward. I plan to keep photographing these small things, even as the grand landscapes become available to me again. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1618151418267-5NBJAQL94TNBM0DVNFMZ/CWilk_spmonthehorizon.jpg On The Horizon - Grass Mountain Flora Image by: Caili Wilk We went looking for wildflowers and were treated with a smattering of blooms right as the sun hung low and the sky deepened. We were surprised to be alone up there, except for a hot air balloon which had floated by. But we each had the other to lean on and as the sky darkened, we adventured down the mountain, with the stars guiding us, following the sound of the stream. Hikes like this have became a source of renewal for me, among nature and with friends. I’m planning on many more sunset hikes this year and looking to find the small things to be grateful for - flowers, crickets, rocks and the warm breeze. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1618104305062-XBYEIM8RLMJFB5AVM0IW/P1080217-2000.jpg On The Horizon - Sunset Haze Image by: Davide Lombardi I took this shot during one of the few hikes I was able to do this autumn. Before the pandemic I regularly went for afternoon hikes to the top of a mountain, where I waited for the magical show of the sun disappearing below the horizon, before heading back down with my trustworthy head lamp. I was a sunset hunter, I loved those few minutes of continuously changing colours, I loved the silence and tranquility, and I loved the special encounters with the fauna on my way back down. I miss all that, and I really hope that the Covid situation will improve in the next months, so that I’ll be able to regularly appreciate the magic of outdoor sunsets again. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1618105426944-ZAQVLMI88FIFICEPNSAZ/Gold+through+the+Trees+SPM-001.jpg On The Horizon - Gold Through the Trees Image by: Ernesto Ruiz www.ernestoruizphotography.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1618105751074-CDAMGIP2TJUUETX85EQA/Morning-Serenity-Julie-Boyd.jpg On The Horizon - Morning Serenity Image by: Julie Boyd Instead of spending the morning watching a clearing storm at Yosemite’s Tunnel View, I decided to avoid the crowds and walk along the valley floor: admiring the quiet of the Merced River, watching the mist ebb and flow along the cliffs, and capturing the golden light as it warmed the newly fallen snow. Releasing the expectations that I had to capture a certain shot, and slowing down to appreciate some of the more intimate scenes, relieved stress and pressure that often come with landscape photography. I’m looking forward to letting go of expectations more often, and just enjoying the simple experience of being in nature. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1618148322245-89AJMCQL0C68J6UI1GBL/IMG_0766.jpg On The Horizon - Steely Sea at Sunset Image by: Sherri Cox I love the solitude of an empty beach in the off-season. During one sunset, I wanted to catch the play of light on water in a way that emphasized the sense of seclusion and serenity I felt. I horizontally panned across the waves using a 0.5-second exposure to smooth the water and bring focus to the light, creating a peaceful abstract image. In the coming year, I look forward to more moments like this where I challenge myself to capture not only the beauty but the feeling of a place. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1618149332790-M0K7H3JVEY81L4HJSEIK/eisblume+2-4.jpg On The Horizon - Iceflowers of Springtime Image by: Julia Redl Landscape photography means freedom for me. I look forward to being detached from time and space, to feel connected to nature while photographing, to merge with it and experience it intensely. It's like a meditation: discovering the small details, lines, structures, building blocks that combine to create the great experience of nature. While everyone is eagerly awaiting spring, they sometimes overlook the fact that winter offers endless beauty. I discovered these beautiful ice flowers in a very mundane frozen puddle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1618152123524-6A75TNGRZ99EG22J3WBX/LostMaples.jpg On The Horizon - Lost in the Maples Image by: Brie Stockwell Early November is peak fall here in central Texas. On an overnight trip to a unique state park we hadn't yet visited, my family and I had the best time soaking in the beauty of many fiery maples on a leisurely day hike. It was wonderful to take our time and enjoy nature and each other's company. Near the end of the hike, this gorgeous, backlit tree caught my eye and I knew I had to make an image of it! This year I am looking forward to exploring more new-to-me parks and seeing what other beauty Texas has to offer! https://www.slowphotographymovement.com/close-to-home daily 0.75 2022-10-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1626363266453-SL0TEO8B7MO8707RFA79/Brenda_Petrella_Fledgling.jpg Close to Home - Fledgling Image by: Brenda Petrella Photography I enjoy walking our dog in the woods behind my house, and I often take my camera along with no particular photography goals in mind other than to just "be" out there and see what catches my eye. It's one of my favorite ways to connect with nature whether I have my camera or not. On this particularly sunny spring day, this unfurling corn lily reminded me of a baby bird, or fledgling, opening its expectant mouth for a nutritious deposit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1626372396584-EGCTRD8VZQ2KFCGP2M51/RMartin_2082-SPM.jpg Close to Home - Reflections on a Woodland Pond Image by: Richard Martin “Nature literally has the power to heal. By slowing down and letting yourself notice the smell, sound, and feel of nature, you become present, aware, and often experience less stress. You become unbusy.” — Lettie Stratton When we slow down and take the time to truly see the world around us, the rewards are significant. Flowing water can be very therapeutic on so many levels. The curving patterns on the water surface of this shallow forest pond created many compelling designs to explore as overhead sunlight rained down on the ever-changing surface flow. There is something rewarding about celebrating the uncelebrated aspects of nature. To capture this pattern, it was important to control the movement of the water. Slower shutter speeds visually melted the desired reflection pattern. So, the creative decision was to use a faster shutter speed, for example, 1/30th sec in this case with a 70mm lens. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1626456230337-OMB5DLMP9SLRMJOOACIM/Aiken_save-for-web.jpg Close to Home - Zinnia Image by: Amy Aiken This zinnia is part of a series titled "A Different Kind of Power." It celebrates the flowers near my home in Washington, D.C. By removing all context, color, and scale, I emphasize the aesthetic and graphic qualities of the “ordinary” plants around me. In this powerful city that seethes with urgency and authority, the fleeting beauty of these flowers reveals a different kind of power. The allure of the flowers does not force; it invites. It calls out from the ground, beckoning me to pause. As my pace slows, as my mind returns to the present moment, I start to take notice, and give thanks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1626373571037-1TWQGGG502ONOZWXPUVQ/Vibrant+Domain.jpg Close to Home - Vibrant Domain Image by: James Lane I woke up by chance at 5am and noticed a totally unexpected pall of fog enveloping the area. I made a dash to a beautiful (and relatively secluded) bluebell woodland just four miles from my house. The mist was humming with moisture and rain fell not from the sky but was dripping from the damp trees. This particular tree stood in vibrant resplendence, lording over its bluebell domain, flashing its lime green leaves as a warning to those that dare enter and trample its delicate carpet. I kept my distance and left no trace. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1626408255650-KKDIZGN2P0CPQSUHYJK1/0922-1-web1080x1350_U_150.jpg Close to Home - The Old One Image by: Damien Robertson I don’t get much time for photography and certainly less in the past year with three young kids at home. I carry the chaos of pandemic home life with me, something I need to wash away in order to connect with nature and find solace. This particular morning before the house woke, in a nearby arboretum, I made this image. An old willow watched as I paced searching for a composition among the nearby flowering trees, waiting patiently for my frantic steps to cease. The wizened eye that gave this tree such character is finally what absolved me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1626408692501-PJQ5C4SIAULQLJ63U17M/springshootsv2.jpg Close to Home - Spring Shoots Image by: Krista McCuish Every spring, new growth appears in my front garden, and when I tend to these growing things, there is a great sense of satisfaction. The results aren’t immediately noticeable, and there is no guarantee of a lush and beautiful reward. Instead, the greater reward is in the process, the quality of attention I bring to it rather than the result. This image was created as an experiment in the studio after arranging and photographing the trimmings from an overgrown shrub. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1626364036597-1FJI8895SF33M36KV7HD/gulfstream_beach_florida_aquatech_177+%288%29.jpg Close to Home - Consecution Image by: Christopher Warren The Ocean sparks my creativity and puts my mind at ease. I am lucky to have this resource very close to home. Being fully immersed in my subject allows me to feel the raw power the ocean possesses. The power I feel intensifies my desire to capture the details that are sometimes overlooked and the moods Mother Nature can unleash. This ever changing environment teaches me respect for powers outside of our own control. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1626364498991-NJXYYQ90GOQJC3TQDS2H/CS8A0348-3.jpg Close to Home - Looking Up Image by: Ernesto Ruiz www.ernestoruizphotography.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1626372610179-R4GX6TZ178WC1SN81BVX/Jason+Katz_Window+to+Winter.jpg Close to Home - Window to Winter Image by: Jason Katz I have been returning to this local park for years and continue to find new scenes that draw me in. During an early snow last year, this usually drab area that I have walked by a hundred times transformed into something magical to me. The perfect dusting of snow revealed a scene that I had not noticed before. Unfortunately, it was also very ephemeral. I returned that night to explore it under moonlight, but the snow had melted just enough that the morning magic had faded. Now I have a new area to keep checking in on. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1626373308101-PA9JW5JZ3AWRLLI6IGCJ/unnamed.jpg Close to Home - Layers and Multitudes Image by: Amanda Dolan During this pandemic and our third lockdown I have had to constantly search deep inside myself to find wonder in things outside of myself. Every image I shoot has been close to home this year. It has been a challenge to find new magic in the same surroundings, walking by the same trees and landscapes daily. I have learned to look at the old surroundings differently each time and am continually surprised and wonderstruck at the beauty I find. I am honing in on my personal style this way and learning more about why I love to do this. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1626408422230-R2UGIQ1IQUXIFG4K2200/InPlainSight_JAS.jpg.jpg Close to Home - Hiding in Plain Sight Image by: Jessica Salesman Our garden has always brought me calm, but never more than during the pandemic. In lieu of a commute or as a break from the screen, I will spend time outside observing the day-to-day changes. What appears calm on the surface is really a tiny, frenetic world within a world – hiding in plain sight – only visible if you slow down and lean in. Native solitary bees, miniature pollination powerhouses, have become my greatest fascination. I enjoy the challenge of trying to photograph these charismatic microfauna, creatures I am happy to share space with. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1626408554463-A3HH4132CY2SVX0I9MIU/GFgarden1small.jpg Close to Home - Swan Image by: Mike DiMeola It always amazes me how subtle changes in conditions can completely alter how we see the things that we encounter most often.This image was created in a small garden in front of my house. While I see it daily, there was something about the quality of light, the condition of the irises, and my mood on this day that made the scene seem unique and captivating. Feeling inspired, I created this soft and abstract image intending to convey a sense of calm, to reflect how I was feeling being close to home on that quiet morning. https://www.slowphotographymovement.com/energy daily 0.75 2022-10-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1634424969393-7PQEZTH3U3TX2RM327TY/bathing+birdie.TaraLowry+.jpg Energy - Bathing Birdie Image by: Tara Lowry Photography I came across this little bird splashing around in a fountain in Santa Fe, New Mexico. It was one of those fleeting moments that could easily go unnoticed but - once seen - completely captures your attention. The colliding energies of the fluttering bird with the cool erratic water drops raining down on it in the hot sun felt refreshing. After a while the little bird flew away and I moved closer to the fountain to feel the cool spray on my skin. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1634425148781-WBESD84U57WAY014FB0V/unnamed-2.jpg Energy - Slicing Waterfall Image by: Josh Driver Photography At first, there didn’t seem to be much to photograph. The light was gone and the waterfall hidden. In situations like this, I often try black and white. The decision paid off, enhancing the contrast between the rushing water and the great and silent sides of the river canyon walls. The image nearly feels quiet, save the steady rhythm of the waterfall. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1634426525039-43YDDLVEEZLDSE6VZIWE/energy-julie-boyd.jpg Energy - Unintended Image by: Julie Boyd Photographing the changing landscape of the ocean energizes and challenges me to approach a scene with an open mind. While I was photographing a wider scene at golden hour, the way the water was combing through the algae and catching the light caught my eye. I quickly recomposed, and created this one image just before the sun dipped behind a rock, ending the moment. I love finding new things along the shore, and can’t wait to head back again soon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1634426831070-77QOQE1OMP7Z344DYJBP/Fluid.jpg Energy - Fluid Image by: Scott Aspinall Before our annual family camping trip to the Canadian Rockies this summer, I had enjoyed a few photos of different waterfalls captured at a fast shutter speed. The power and dynamics this approach can convey with the right subject are unrivalled. Years ago, I had experienced Takakkaw Falls (the second tallest falls in Canada, hurtling thousands of tonnes of water down a cliff face of nearly 1250 feet) for the first time. So as I stood in front of Takakkaw again this summer, I knew I wouldn't find another spot where I could, through a photograph, demonstrate the incredible power of nature more clearly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1634427070325-9KHS1CCQ9FSD2JUO3CNL/unnamed.jpg Energy - Flight of the Vulture Image by: Apani Hill I love vultures and feel so privileged to see Turkey Vultures in the Pacific northwest almost every day, from their arrival in late spring until the autumn when they leave for their winter home. I’ve witnessed them feeding in large groups, and I've often seen parent birds patiently training their cute, curious juvenile! Although I’ve always tried capturing images of Turkey Vultures with a tack-sharp focus, I recently had the idea of using a slow shutter speed combined with slight camera movement to emphasize the grace, speed, and beauty of these magnificent birds! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1634427307063-UER0Q06RXU6YQS163IDW/kristamccuish_creative_energy.jpg Energy - Creative Energy Image by: Krista McCuish Summertime for me is usually spent exploring along Nova Scotia’s coastline. There is something restorative and energizing about walking barefoot at low tide in the early morning, when the sand feels refreshing and like a calm blue before the sun has a chance to warm up the surface. Nature is like an artist of quiet light and detail. It never fails to inspire and ignite my creative energy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1634424734280-NIG9561KEY1RP2P7LLUI/SPM+Energy+Sharkey+Waves.jpg Energy - King Tide Splash Image by: Kristy Sharkey This is a relatively tiny scene inside a monster wave during last year’s king tide along the southern Washington coast. King tides occur a few times each year when the moon, earth, and sun all work together to produce the greatest tidal effects. I love being able to stop these ferocious waves in-camera and explore and appreciate their intricate details and patterns that would otherwise be unnoticeable as they crash into the cliffside. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1634425374691-40HOIEMSIO4MNS23VE2W/IMG_7926.jpg Energy - Vibrant Morning Image by: Ernesto Ruiz www.ernestoruizphotography.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1634426707276-6E8FY34KM7LW3TLZNJPI/DSCF3015-edit+3.jpg Energy - Triangles Image by: David Corbin I arrived earlier in the afternoon before the storm began to build. Back at camp, having eaten dinner, I watched this scene for an hour or more as it evolved. I probably made twenty frames, thinking 'this is the one' each time, my excitement growing with each subsequent image. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1634426947666-94J79BKPTQ0M82FER3P1/Facing-the-Atlantic.jpg Energy - Facing the Atlantic Image by: Forrest Dow The Atlantic has always had a way of pulling me in. This form of energy cannot be put into words. For me, it is something that resembles the feeling of home. This ominous and powerful display by mother nature is best experienced face to face. This image tells the story of this encounter. The Atlantic reaching out and pulling me into its threatening yet reassuring world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1634427392104-LQ0XOAEN04AEIVABB2O2/20210515-5996_A7R3.jpg Energy - River Flow Image by: Angela Gaa There is something meditative about water in motion, whether it is a river, a lake, or the sea. On this day, as I returned from a hike along the little river, the dynamics and the resulting shapes and colors of the water drew my attention. It is a never-ending energy that flows in one place, ebbs in another, and sometimes even reverses, providing a photographic playground that transforms photography into meditation. Getting lost in photography this way generates a lot of energy for the photographer! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1634427215060-WAPK7S2DIN9LPUJV722D/SPMfloodsTorrents.jpg Energy - Of Floods and Torrents Image by: Michael DiMeola This composition was chosen to elicit some visual tension; I didn't want this image to feel completely quiet and peaceful as most long exposure water scenes are. This scene had tremendous energy resulting from the non-stop rains we were experiencing in the northeast. I've never seen this much water flow at this normally quiet and serene location. It was honestly a bit alarming and a not-so-subtle reminder of the power of Mother Nature. https://www.slowphotographymovement.com/vibrant daily 0.75 2022-10-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/79f263d6-a6d7-414b-a39b-8c562f6b0a5a/baruffi.jpg Vibrant - Attraction Image by: Andrew Baruffi Watching the warm morning light creep down the towering walls of Zion's main canyon is a pleasure to witness. Stumbling over the boulders, I approached a wealth of oil suspended in small pools at an outcrop and began studying the small abstract landscapes at my feet. After a few failed attempts, I finally settled on this celebration of light, oil, and nature’s blemishes. A natural frame filled to the brim with warm reflected light framing the stunning motion in the cool-toned oil. A wonderful interaction between color and movement just beneath my feet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/daa1b9fe-5892-413a-a7f0-c4426f0bcfb4/HH+LE.jpg Vibrant - Sunrise Dreams Image by: Kristen Ryan Photography As I approached the beach on this morning on Hilton Head Island, I saw a glimpse of the color in the sky and raced down to the water. The pinks and oranges took my breath away with their intense color. It was truly a stunning and magical morning! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/12b6b0d2-fe05-47f8-90f6-683628778f23/20211002-00008-DSC_2357-1500_2000.jpg Vibrant - The Beautiful Letdown Image by: Damien Robertson I love exploring nature in the rain. Not only does rain ensure I'll be alone, it tempers harsh dappled light and aurally closes you in to your immediate surroundings. Rain, on its own, darkens and saturates colour and so easily sets the perfect atmosphere. The vibrant colour here is the result of rain, fallen leaves in early autumn, and noticing the scene needed nothing else. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/6a58a106-6321-42ed-9cfc-989817eef50b/Boley+Lake+Sunset.jpg Vibrant - Boley Lake Sunset Image by: Jon Wheeler Sunset was painting the landscape with beautiful warm tones, but the clouds over this cove at Boley Lake were especially beautiful. The reflections on the lake, the fall foliage, and overall warm glow of the scene were compelling. I used a 24mm focal length with CPL close to the ground, to take in some of the clouds and reflections while tying the shoreline leaves in foreground to the forest across the lake. A 1-stop GND filter kept sky and lake well-balanced. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/40a18ab5-3a33-482f-86d6-6bca0860d05b/RESOLUTE+TWINS+2021.png Vibrant - Resolute Twins Image by: Logan Hertes Living near an area that has badland formations has its perks. After heavy rains I would often venture out and check the area to see if any mud cracks had formed. I was lucky enough to come across this area after work one evening. I patiently waited as the sun went down hoping for some of that beautiful reflected light. I sat for about an hour and a half shooting the vibrant mud and leaves. As the light vanished, I reflected on my shots. I smiled as I realised that a slow approach and patience with photography is always worth it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/b6509d44-450b-4771-a13a-b94621f31384/image.jpg Vibrant - Repose Image by: Alberto Bellini This image is all about the little details of the forest floor, as well as the peak autumn color of the canopy... All embellished by the soft rain that brought out those textures and colors and made the experience of capturing it beautiful. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/4893ae6f-c3e0-4626-bcb4-9116b11d5626/Leanne+Zeller+-+Maple+Leaves.jpg Vibrant - Maple Leaves Image by: Leanne Zeller The sun was shining and the breeze was blowing when we visited the local arboretum. I was captivated by all the brilliant colors - red, yellow, orange and green. As I looked around at the dazzling autumn scene, the maple leaves overhead caught my attention. The clouds behind them provided the perfect backdrop to accentuate the curve of the branch and the beautiful shades of the orange leaves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/388c648a-4cda-4348-badb-ce7ff729828d/Marcescent+ii.jpg Vibrant - Marcescent II Image by: Ernesto Ruiz www.ernestoruizphotography.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/f9a365e1-6792-4134-8d8b-32f9da6be79b/gulfstream_beach_florida_aquatech_207+%282%29.jpg Vibrant - Endless Summer Image by: Christopher Warren I love the energy and brilliant colors that are present as the sun is just breaking the horizon. With the position and the radiance of the sun changing every second, it offers endless compositional opportunities in just a short period of time. To make the best of them, I set up in the ocean with my camera in a water housing before the sun breaks the horizon. This time of the morning in the ocean is pure serenity for me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/8d853e3a-0c74-47d8-b671-7c09f84c58a0/20211030-Cleveland-055-Edit+v5_Long+Edge_2000x2000_U_100.jpg Vibrant - Essence Image by: David Wallace I couldn't pass up this reflection during a visit to Cleveland this fall. Images that are about more than just the fall color have drawn my attention in the past few years. I knew I wanted to include the colors, but the abstraction from the reflection and the inclusion of the trunks as a complement to the pops of color are what complete the image for me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/8b2fdf33-1a46-4913-913c-8b887194f276/Nikhil+Nagane+-+Autumn+Sentinels.jpg Vibrant - Autumn Sentinels Image by: Nikhil Nagane I was enjoying solitude on a foggy autumn morning in the woods of western New York, when I came across this small scene and I was instantly captivated. The fog spread across the woods helped isolate some colorful foliage while the thick tree barks stood like sentinels, guarding the autumn trees. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/4ccc5c63-8cf4-4738-b12e-ef2b48fef830/Vibrant+Frost.jpg Vibrant - Vibrant Frost Image by: Tracy Babbitt The first frost of the season arrived on a crisp, October morning. I went for a short drive after getting out of work that morning, just to reset my mind before going to sleep, and saw this group of leaves as I drove. This was a lively frost in that it coated everything with beautiful, crystalline etchings. The contrast it created enhanced the delicate anatomy of the leaves, transforming the muted tones of decay into a last show of vibrancy. It was almost as if they were giving one last encore, after the brilliant colors of fall had subsided. https://www.slowphotographymovement.com/no-tripod daily 0.75 2022-10-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/55ebc584-2c7c-4ed3-a4d5-9a8bf81d9d5c/A+Moment+of+Solitude.jpg No Tripod - A Moment of Solitude Image by: Ernesto Ruiz www.ernestoruizphotography.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/dbcb9213-14f8-4b3a-a10e-47888ca59798/ABERNER_SPM.jpg No Tripod - Quiet Sounds of Nature Image by: Alexandre Berner Fell in love with this place as soon as I saw it. Climbed the cliff looking for a spot where I could keep dry and emphasize the waves’ size by adding some foreground for scale. I usually shoot with a tripod, even when I don't need one. Fortunately, this time the tripod had no good place to be but in my backpack. I was free to listen to the images the waves were forming on the sensor as I slowly built up to the perfect moment I was looking for. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/84a41c40-6e72-4951-941f-3610276a16bf/Ibis+betwen+the+lines.jpg No Tripod - Ibis Between the Lines Image by: Nelson Stegall Photography Most of the time I am shooting off a tripod. I just recently purchased the Nikkor 200-500 and have been practicing my hand-holding. In this case, I was crawling around in the mangroves in south Florida following about 6 American White Ibis. A tripod would have been very cumbersome and the beating and banging would have disturbed the ibis. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/8c5acb34-c7cd-40d4-ba17-1bdc5be7466b/image_6483441.JPG No Tripod - Desert Defense Image by: Brad North Photography A tripod can be a useful tool when taking photographs, but I often find myself bringing one and almost never getting it out. With the advancement in stabilization, both bodies and lenses, and ISO performance, there’s rare times I would need a tripod. Without one, I feel like I can react to the scene or subject in a different way, acting on impulse for what interests me, without carrying all the extra weight. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/8d4ecb1c-c473-407e-8c0e-f92fc2ac5ffa/Yosemite2021_Arbortrator_Cropped_2000pixel-reduction_SPM-Feature.jpg No Tripod - Arbortrator Image by: Jimmy Arcade In planning for my wintery Yosemite trip, I had envisioned creating images of trees obscured by snowflakes. However, the atmospheric snowfall I hoped for was isolated to higher elevations. Yet, the trees were so heavily blanketed with snow that they would periodically drop huge amounts. Observing these mimicked snowflakes, I’d patiently wait for a tree to release its snow, then quickly turn my telephoto lens toward the tree. With virtually no time to compose, I had to forgo both a tripod and refined composition, relying heavily on instinct, intuition, and patience. I was delighted to create this unique, dynamic image. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/603e25b3-73d7-4a8a-9cde-89a59a3bca4f/lewisnelson_spmnotripod.jpg No Tripod - Before the Hail Image by: Lewis Nelson As I was walking up this hill I could see the light doing some amazing things in the distance. I knew there was an opportunity for a photo if the clouds continued moving the way they were. I didn't bother running, just carried on patiently trudging up the hill. As I got to the top, I took the camera out of the bag, the sky opened up, and I took the shot. No tripod, no rush, no stress. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/eae2463d-8041-476c-a65c-7a8104e23e57/Evanescent-Julie-Boyd.jpg No Tripod - Evanescent Image by: Julie Boyd The ability to freeze time would certainly be a desirable superpower for most photographers. Extending golden hour or the beautiful hues of a sunrise or sunset could yield endless hours for creativity. Unfortunately, us mere mortals must work quickly when we notice something special about the light in a scene. This image was created during one such fleeting moment. As I was photographing a larger scene of a snowy mountain at sunset, I noticed the sun had illuminated a small patch of snow near me. I knew it wouldn't last long so I quickly took my camera off of my tripod and snapped this handheld so I would not miss the fleeting light. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/bd656e80-b237-482a-b4d4-c93060ac599a/SPM-notripod-james-rodewald-2000px.jpg No Tripod - Spring Hike Image by: James Rodewald On this late winter/early spring day, my son and I decided to head out for a hike during his brief weekend home from college. Photography wasn’t the goal that day, more so just a chance to soak up the time alone with him. That said, when he pointed out this patch of ice that caught his eye and he told me to shoot it I totally obliged. So yeah, iPhone 13 Pro in hand and a careful composition I came home with a nice hand-held memory of a beautiful morning spent together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/a3e8ddc2-7af2-4086-af70-77996b4d9500/JuliaVaughan-RoseLeafDroplets.jpg No Tripod - Rose Leaf Droplets Image by: Julia Vaughan When it rains (all too rare these days in California), I can’t resist taking out my macro lens to capture droplets. I delight in the compositional freedom that comes with hand-holding my camera for macro images. On this particular day, tripod-free photography allowed me to get the perfect angle to highlight the droplets on this rose leaf, illuminated by the diffuse light of an overcast sky at midday. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/8667770a-d5ea-43fe-bffa-5e5cdf636cf1/unnamed.jpg No Tripod - Ghostwood Image by: Michele Sons Before the very first of the sunrise light at Oconaluftee Overlook, I spied this pre-dawn woodland scene of pale trunks against the darker background and decided to shoot it handheld to introduce some blur into the scene. I love the cool blue-green tones and the texture makes me think of bamboo or skeletal shapes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/9ed4afac-a685-4877-ad15-fdb9b8bccb71/Farewell+The+Light.jpg No Tripod - Farewell the Light Image by: Patrick J Krohn/Once-Eyed Dog Studios Each spring my daughter and I go into the azalea in our yard for a portrait shot. This year, when we were done, the sun was still highlighting a few of the blooms. The light was constantly shifting, as it would spotlight one set of blooms, then another. No time for a tripod that evening, as I moved from flower to flower like the bees that were buzzing around. I raised my ISO to 800, so I could hand hold as the blooms moved in the slight breeze and I quickly looked for good angles. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/4523daa8-1101-4c39-848d-4f02e002358c/DSCF9630+SPM.jpg No Tripod - Liquid Luck Image by: Kirsten Packer I did not expect bluebird skies to give me golden conditions on my autumn visit to the creek. As I crouched down to the water to inspect some fallen leaves, I stepped into the wardrobe and fell down the rabbit hole into an entirely different realm. Swirls of blue and gold danced, conducted by oak leaves. I took this photograph handheld, as the best angle to capture the magical reflections involved me jamming myself under a giant fallen tree trunk. I was not doing the tripod tango in that situation! https://www.slowphotographymovement.com/looking-up daily 0.75 2022-10-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/8a0e6981-d941-4fda-ae6d-ad6bb4083538/IMG_8761.jpg Looking Up - A Change in Perspective Image by: Ernesto Ruiz www.ernestoruizphotography.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/dbabd16d-ed3b-4a01-834d-da3485ab91bc/Komorebi_spm.jpg Looking Up - Komorebi Image by: Subhasish Dutta "Komorebi", meaning the sunlight shining through the leaves, is one of my favorite images from last autumn. I have no recollection of which path I took before stumbling upon this scene. I took a breather on a bench to take in my surroundings. Looking up a steep slope behind the bench, I noticed this tree with its low hanging branch adorned with marcescent leaves set against a background of foliage in light fog. I remember being very happy with the entire day, although this image was not at the top of my mind. I fell in love with it after discovering it in my library. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/6c153ae6-596e-4f2d-b7eb-a20a8847d280/Spring+Greens+1.jpg Looking Up - Spring Greens Image by: Scott Aspinall During a spring family hike along a local trail, I was enjoying the way the midday sun made the new leaves glow. So, as we hiked, I tried to frame a few different backlit branches that were isolated in the tree canopy above. I really enjoyed the balance that this one struck. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/c738f303-b8e8-4588-90ff-ebf54bdbf12d/Jennifer+Carr+Looking+Up.jpg Looking Up - Chaotic Calm Image by: Jennifer Carr As someone who lives part time at the beach, clear sky sunrises and flying seabirds overhead are the norm. I often have to consider new ways of seeing these subjects in order to challenge myself creatively. On this particular day, I was drawn to the calm sea and peaceful colors of the sky against the chaotic flight and call of this seagull. Using a slow shutter speed and pointing my camera up following the bird, I was able to capture a moment in time that seemed to fuse the two. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/cf9be82d-7073-4d7f-a8a6-4fd37f261dca/IMG-3997.jpg Looking Up - Rainbow in the Trees Image by: Vanessa Hill On a summer hike in a forest we spotted this beautiful spider web about 50 feet up, being blown by the gentle breeze and shimmering in the sun’s rays as they seeped through the thick canopy of the tall evergreens. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/d49b6fd4-eb1d-4e3c-8ba7-622080df6987/20220807-_DSC0886-1.jpg Looking Up - Treetop Sunshine Image by: Mike Klimek The most peaceful moments of my childhood memories were when I would climb trees. Looking up to the treetops lately has reminded me of being alone and looking at the canopy of a tree and just listening to the wind. This image and others that I've made recently have been able to take me back to that time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/1537cd54-544b-4e1d-9636-cea3b4911fde/GREEN-TURTLE-HATCHLING-AQUATECH-150-170+gig++copy.jpg Looking Up - Rising Image by: Christopher Warren Rising to the surface of the water to catch another breath, this green sea turtle hatchling broke through the surface of the wave, scanned the horizon, then retreated to the depths of the ocean to continue its journey. She was starting the adventure of a lifetime. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/62c14bec-cd06-44a3-a697-b5adb5ebc1da/smerrill_looking_up.jpg Looking Up - Rise Image by: Sarah Merrill I had an early morning alone to explore and wander through the narrow canyons in this area. The walls rise straight up, and it felt incredible to look up to admire the striking tall passageways. I loved how the sun reflected down the walls in this stretch of little bends, creating a sort of sun burst effect from the opening above. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/2f3d6c4a-6ed8-4f30-b133-a67e472413b6/Down+%26+Up+Around+%26+Though.jpg Looking Up - Down & Up, Around & Through Image by: Patrick Krohn I really enjoy photographing the underside of leaves. To do that, I often need to get right down on the ground, and then look up to see the patterns and light. I saw these leaves one morning around the Carolina Bay in Aiken, SC. I captured this light and shadow play just as the sun was coming over the trees around the bay, highlighting the grasses in the foreground, through which I framed these red leaves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4cd87b266c07352c35ee36/fbc92bc8-a7e7-4f7d-aef1-d5305b022240/brad+north+placeholder.png Looking Up - Autumn Canopy Image by: Brad North I've often shot images looking up into trees but this is one of my favorites. The fall colored canopy among the pines was from a maple tree not much higher than my head. To get this vantage, I had to lie on the forest floor with the tripod splayed out over my chest and the camera at my face. Since this chance encounter, I'm always looking for new ways to try looking up. https://www.slowphotographymovement.com/privacy-tudor daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://www.slowphotographymovement.com/terms-tudor daily 0.75 2025-05-12
