a wide, washed-out overexposed shot of canyon ridges, mesas, and peaks fading into distant grey-blue haze. each layer of earth gets darker and darker as it gets closer, until the details on the nearest are visible only through shaded streaks of highlit surfaces

slumbering layers of eternity #photography #nemmypix #landscape #skyscape #grandcanyon #hyperrealism
a broad and sharply shadowed photograph of a section of the southeasterly parts of the grand canyon. the sky is deeply drunk on blue, save for the pale amassment of haze at the horizon. beneath this false cloudline, the canyon and its surroundings are cast in brilliant reds, oranges, and tans, coming up to the broad head of the southern rim lookout and its tower, the scattered greenery rooted nicely with a closer bit of scrub jutting into the lower right third of the frame.

a true union of light, sky, plant, and earth.
animal's included because animals, we, are the ones who capture this stuff.

weathering #photography #nemmypix #landscape #skyscape #grandcanyon
a photo juxtaposing the lookout tower on the grand canyon's southern rim with the gorge-carved and catastrophically broad expanse of desert and sky beneath and beyond it. the tower can serve those less inclined to crawl from shadow or scrub as a starting point from which travel along the earth in any direction in-frame is possible.

even off in to the distance, if you move the right ways.

overall, the composition plays with angle of image capture in a way that bends one's concept of space. a ridge dominates the frame, and yet the horizon is hardly lower than it. how terribly vast such things must be.

geologic time #photography #nemmypix #landscape #grandcanyon
a ground-heavy photo with the horizon on the upper third, this picture showcases the delicate interplay of light and shadow on the nooks and crannies of the canyon walls. layers of sedimentary colour and shape paint a history of the earth itself, and the barely-visible lookout tower near the center of the frame showcases the relative scale of humanity's time.

we've always been suckers for the kind of things you can only get from steep elevation and rough terrain - perspectives and viewpoints that can turn the sky itself to earth, clouds replaced by jutting boulders and rough outcrops from whatever earthen expanse one's lens is pressed close to.

not tagging the last one with the canyon 'cause like even though it was taken there it is hardly demonstrative of the kind of things one goes there and sees.

moon landing #photography #nemmypix #daymoon #abstract
a heavily selectively exposed and contrasted blurry extreme closeup of a small boulder serves as the bright sun-baked anchor to gaze up at the moon in the expanse of night just beyond the fading blue. altogether, there is a tension in the image.

kept it simple with this one. it was a photo captured on a whim anyway, since there happened to be a decent daymoon when we made it out to the canyon. wanted to do something with it that evoked a kind of microscale alien perspective with familiar objects - the moon itself, rocks, etc.

oooh we did get some of these birds hang gliding at navajo point. nice. #nemmypix #raven #grandcanyon
an out of focus photograph of a raven hang gliding on thermals at the grand canyon, facing away from the observer. its wings are spread and outstretched and its legs are fully extended; this combines its leg feathers blown by the high intensity winds to give it a sort of pantalooned look.

calibration failure #photography #nemmypix #landscape #abstract #grandcanyon
a sweeping photo of the grand canyon from the southern rim. the rustic oranges, reds, and browns of the canyon walls have been tone-shifted into orange-shaded minty greens.

a brilliant red-orange cut of fluid wends its way through the distant rolling green, cast in shadow by a ridge sweeping up to the left.

an overlook in the bottom left corner lets you catch your breath.

"disturbance" one of the cooler things about the wind picking up and making dust storms was that when it blew across the water like this, presumably particulates were getting caught up in the water, making these long feathery streaks across the surface. #photography #nemmypix #landscape #alviso

"holding pattern"

an image of marine layer fog cascading over foothills, dapple-clouded skys overhead, and utility poles playing atlas in the foreground, as if they and their support structures are keeping everything aloft.

"blind shot" a few more degrees to the right, and we catch these angular friends. #nemmypix #photography #skyscape #clouds #cloudscape #landscape
"blind shot"

the marine layer and sky are held back by two utility poles and their respective wires; the morning light is caught in deep shadows on the rough surface of the nearest pole.

the blind hope refers to the fact that the photographer took this as picture #3 in a series of four that were shot relatively hopefully, rather than studiously (as is our usual).

but the results were quite to our liking - plenty of cloud cascading over hills, framed by infrastructure, with a cloud-soaked strip of green at the bottom of the frame.

"blind execution" real normal about this one. this is the cloud we were really really wanting to take a picture of here, and we couldn't hike to where it was, so we weren't sure we'd actually get it. thank groodness for trying things. #nemmypix #photography #skyscape #clouds #cloudscape #landscape
"blind execution"

a utility pole serves as the left pillar of this picture, which shows a steely grey marine layer rolling over the land. in the center of the frame, like an eye peering lazily at the viewer, small strips of blue make themselves known in the morning-boiled sheet of overcast above.

the reason that we took blind shots at this location was because of this particular cloud. we couldn't hike to a vantage point where we could have a fully unoccluded sightline to it, so the next best thing was raising our camera high after focusing the lens and hope we got something to our liking.

"san francisco skyline from midharbor point" got the ferry in this one. sunk even further into the mud, crouching low to put the skyline in a taller and more centrally-imposing angle. #nemmypix #photography #skyline #midharbor #sf
"san francisco skyline from midharbor point"

the san francisco skyline dominates the center frame of what would have otherwise been a comely shot of foggy overcast across a ten mile span of brackish water, the bay bridge drags itself through the middle of the frame, spanning off to the right.

"overhead infatuation" we missed these clouds while we were out in the desert. and we missed them for a bit after coming back home. there just weren't many clouds for the first few days we were here again. #nemmypix #photography #clouds #sky #skyscape
"overhead infatuation"

cirrus clouds and a small corner of the haze-river are the sole star of this shot. three powerlines draw themselves across the lower third in an attempt to ground the viewer.

the photographer would like to note that these clouds still make her heart race.

"scallop-wave above the trees" looking at this really makes you realize you're standing on the bottom of some vast pool and looking up to the surface. just the pool is Of Air and the surface is... vaporous building-sized masses of water. #nemmypix #photography #clouds #sky #skyscape
treetops and the barest corner of a roof are all that is solid to see here.

scallop-whipped cirrus clouds and others are at the left end of the river of haze; this photo showcases the latter's beginning, seeming to melt out of the clouds barely visible past the trees and rooftop on the bottom right.

altogether, the motion of the shot trends hard to the right.

a lone redwood serves as the majority vertical support.

"sol invicta"

powerlines and treetops are all that keeps one tethered to the earth as the eye of sol herself gazes into the viewer.

it's an ultrawide shot of the sky on the day with all the terribly gorgeous wispy clouds. it makes our soul ache looking at it.

"vortex soup" excuse the lens flare. we chased the clouds north that morning. and since they were so obliging, we accepted the sky's gift, pulling off to a vista AND taking the scenic route. #nemmypix #photography #clouds #sky #sol #sun #skyscape #turbulence
"vortex soup"

the sun is occluded by a swirling hazy cloud either rending itself apart by inner turbulence or being rent apart by currents overhead. it looks like a plasma ball behind a blue-tinged jupiter.

"context soup" the whole is also gorgeous. the burning head of the sky. #nemmypix #photography #clouds #sky #sol #sun #skyscape #turbulence
"context soup"

the previous turbulent cloud in "vortex soup" is cast in its whole context in a wide-lens shot showing its complex topography amidst silhouetted oak trees.

it looks like a confluence of winds dragging themselves through thick sunlit cloudcover from all cardinal directions. it gives the clouds an altogether plasma-like vibe, especially with the bright light of the near-noon sun.
