Behind the Camera: The story behind the picture
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Behind the Camera is a monthly feature where I put the spotlight on one of my own pictures. Around the end of each month, I will choose a single picture from my collection and talk about what went into creating the picture. I will also discuss a little about what I "see" in the photograph. Art touches everyone a bit differently, and the creator of the art is also touched by what is created.
This is your chance to ask about that favorite picture. Feel free to suggest images for Behind the Camera. There is a story behind each and every one of my photographs.
If you miss an installment, there is no need to worry. I duplicate the feature in Photo Trek so these features can always be found in the archives. Another reason I duplicate the feature is to give you the opportunity to share your opinions by way of leaving a comment attached to the entry.

Often in photography, it is the dichotomy of a scene that really draws a viewer into the image. The visual interest and tension that is provided from this one compositional technique forces the viewer to really "look" into the photograph, as opposed to just simply looking "at" it. It is this element of dichotomy that really drew my eyes to this particular scene which was found on the road trip to Homer, AK, from our base in Seward, AK.
Mount Redoubt was photographed from a pretty standard overlook along the highway. There was no hiking involved to get to this viewpoint. In fact, there was a very nice gravel turnout on the side of the road where many cars stop on a regular basis. The view is very broad, and takes in five different active volcanoes in this section of South Central Alaska. However, it was not so much the distant volcanoes that caught my eye, it was the appearance of the landscape right at the overlook that excited me. At this point in May, winter had just ended and the vegetation had not quite returned to a green and living state. There was more brown tones in the landscape than green.
So, why did the still dormant landscape captured my imagination? Simple...it provided a wonderful complementing element to the blue sky...for more on this picture click here.

Photo Trek is my online journal, or blog as some would say. It is a place that I have created to document my Treks into the field in a relaxed atmosphere. With every Trek that I embark on, I come back and share some of my experiences and an occasional funny story as well. It is a chance to learn about what goes into creating the images that you see here in the gallery. Of course, comments can be left and are always welcome.
Photographer Spotlight
In addition to documenting my Treks, the journal has become a place where I host a Photographer Spotlight. Around the 15th of each month, I pick a photographer who's web site, or journal I have found in my explorations on the internet. I look for somebody that is just getting started in photography, and is starting to share their work. I will feature them in my journal, along with some of my thoughts on their photography. The reason behind this is simple. I can never repay those that have helped me out finding an audience. However, I can do the same for other photographers that are looking for the same help I was. Please be sure and visit these photographers on the web.

Tips and Tricks
This is another Photo Trek special feature where I will discuss technique and some tricks I've learned about photography along the way. Things that I discuss will range from the basics of photography, all the way to some advanced technique. Again, I am repaying those that helped me learn by sharing what they have taught me with others that are looking to learn. Look for my Tips and Tricks feature in the last week of each month. You can find a complete archive of my tutorials here.
If you would like to pose a question, just send me an email and I will consider it for an upcoming article.

The Call of the Waterfall is a place where I keep track of the waterfalls I have visited in my Treks. Each entry is of a different waterfall, with pictures of the falls, and any surrounding points of interest. You will also find directions to these falls along with links to web sites about them. The content will grow as I explore the many waterfalls that surround me.
To view a particular waterfall entry, you will find a directory on the right side margin. Each link is labeled with the particular waterfall. Comments are always welcome, as are stories about your visits to the falls.
