Amber By NightUtah Lake, Utah Utah Lake is a different world at night. The lights of the cities around it create their own atmospheric glow. Birds of the night call out to each other (party animals!). Unseen water critters slish and plonk around in the drink a little too close to where I was sitting for my overly imaginative personal comfort. And yet... it was so peaceful, so "Aaahhhhh." ©Karen Hutton - Creative Commons (CC BY-NC 3.0)
Cafe Bokeh I never remember what the thing was I actually shot when I snap a bokeh. That's not the point. It's all about the impression and design of the moment captured. Like the last note of orchestral tone poem, drifting off into the night... ©Karen Hutton - Creative Commons (CC BY-NC 3.0)
Maple Pod Goodness I've decided that Amur Maples are overachievers It's not enough for them to be all enviable and wafty in summer, talk-of-the-town stunning in autumn... they even have to have the most gorgeous seed pods. Every detail so carefully thought out. Who DOES this?? I mean, look at them. You could use this design for earrings, hair adornment, shoe clips, anti-snore devices. Seriously functional. And seriously beautiful. At first you think it's a flower ("What the...? It's flowering in fall?"). But noooo. Seed pods, standing in a field looking all MOMA for no good reason other than... lookin' gawwwgeous. I tell ya. Overachievers! ©Karen Hutton - Creative Commons (CC BY-NC 3.0)
Pluckin' On The Strings of AutumnTruckee, CA Pluckin' On The Strings of Autumn Singin' a sad song. Wishin' you were here beside me... Where did we go wrong? It was spring when we said forever. Summer was a ball. Now I know; don't speak of never... Cuz if you do, you fall. --------------------------------------------------------- These are dorkiest country song lyrics ever written. This hour. By me. WooHOOOO!! ©Karen Hutton - Creative Commons (CC BY-NC 3.0)
I Need Glasses For the Grasses Reno, NV I love this because it's just so simple. And proves that you can find wondrousness to shoot in the unlikeliest of places without missing a beat if you're paying attention and carrying your camera around with you. I shot this in a parking whilst out on errands in Reno last week. I used my f2.8 70-200 and let it do all the work. With this POV and its selective focus, all I had to do for post-processing was a little curves and sharpening - but not much - and a case could've been made for skipping that part altogether. The light, the lens and Ma Nature did the heavy lifting... all I had to do was press the shutter and giggle in delight. OK, and notice the grasses in the first place. It does help to pay attention. Oh yeah, and never whine about how there's nothing to shoot close to home. grin. ©Karen Hutton - Creative Commons (CC BY-NC 3.0)
I Feel Fluffy, Oh So Fluffy It's Sunday, and I'm in a fluffy mood. I've never thought of 'fluffy' as a mood before, but when I looked at this photo of mine today, I knew this was it. Now if you tell me you're going to step out of the rat race for a minute; you know, just stop, have a look around, think about things and gain some perspective while the rest of the world rushes on by... I'll know you're feeling fluffy too. It'll be our little secret. ;-)) ©Karen Hutton - Creative Commons (CC BY-NC 3.0)
Just Because Because every year they remind me of rebirth and looking forward... Because I love the perfection that is frozen and stamped on each and every one... Because they are like the final act of a wonderful Kabuki theatre play... Oh I dunno, just Because. ©Karen Hutton - Creative Commons (CC BY-NC 3.0)
