Schultz Creek Trail
Ponderosa Pines, Aspens and Wildflowers along the Schultz Creek Trail.
This impressionistic scene was created by shaking my camera at it.

Cool Thoughts
When it gets really hot, reviewing my archived water images leads to cool and refreshing thoughts of upcoming trips to places with streams and waterfalls…ahhhh. Mind over matter, right?! This image of a Mallard breaking up fall color reflections was taken last October on the West Fork Trail. One shot and the duck flew away. At first I almost deleted the image because it was kind of in between abstract and sharp but the more I look at it, the more I like it.

Aspens
I have so many traditional shots of fall color that all I did last year was shake and swing my camera at it. This is what Aspens can look like when you intentional move your camera during exposure. If you’ve never tried this, be prepared for lots of misses but with practice, you can predict the effect you’ll achieve with any given movement. I’ve been hooked on this fun since 2003 when I heard Jack Davis talk about sticking his point and shoot camera out of his car window as he was driving. I was mesmerized by his results and couldn’t wait to try it 🙂
Tech stuff: Canon 5DMKII, Canon 24-105 at 32mm, ISO 100, 1/8th second at f/22.

Oak Creek Reflection
I have two favorite ways of capturing fall color. One is to shake my camera at it and the other is to shoot reflections of it. Both can be a hit or miss process but sometimes you get some really interesting results and it’s such fun! This reflection was in Oak Creek which runs along most of the West Fork Trail in Sedona.
