Negative Space and Color Space
My latest photo article has been published in the National Parks Traveler. This month’s article deals with negative space and color space, something photographers use each time they capture an image, but may not really think much about (and should).

Cheers!
It’s what you do when you are a photographer taking a break from shoveling the driveway. And yes, it’s single malt.

The Tree Root Cave
For all of you #photographers and #geology fans. The first images are of me under the tree root cave (aka Tree of Life) that was undercut by a small stream and is now hanging in place (and has been for quite a few years, according to what I have read) by a few very strong tree roots. The first two photos show you the cobble beach facies overall and the other photos show you close-ups. Because of where I stood and because it was wet and I didn’t want to get my lens cap wet, I did not use anything for scale. Suffice to say that the cobbles range in size from maybe 5-6 inches to less than 1 inch.
These images are good examples of how you can turn photography into a lesson about something other than just photography.
If you are ever in Olympic National Park, on the western portion of the peninsula, you must go see and photograph this oddity of nature and geology. Turn into the drive to the Kalaloch campground and park in the day use/picnic parking lot. Take the short trail down to the beach, turn right and walk straight about 50 feet to see it.

Dreaming In The Rainforest
This image was a total accident. I was walking along the Maple Glade Rainforest Nature Trail in the Quinault Rainforest of Olympic National Park. I’d set the tripod and camera up to capture this scene, when one of the tripod legs began sinking down into the wet ground right when the 2-second timer went off and the shutter clicked. I didn’t even know I’d gotten this photo until I downloaded it that night. I decided I liked it for its surreal view. And it’s a great example of the kind of look you can get when you are zooming your lens in or out (or when your tripod leg starts to sink in the mud).
