In case you couldn’t tell from a random scan of my most recent posts, I am getting more and more into photography. Do I even write posts anymore? It feels like I post photos more. So, in honor of the fact that this isn’t really a photography blog (yet), I’m going to write about this morning’s photography adventure instead of posting a photo.
This morning I went out to photograph the sunrise. Only by the time I got out and all set up to take some pics, it was already pretty bright outside. The sun hadn’t risen yet but you would never know if from how much light there was. Lesson learned: in the Vegas desert everything is brighter, even the night. I took a couple of pictures but didn’t really get any that made me happy.
After a little bit of frustration I decided to just drive out to the lake bed where I used to hang out with friends when I first moved here. I have never actually been there during the day since we were always spinning fire and taking long exposure photos when my friends and I would go there. It looks different during the day, not nearly as stark. I drove around some more and ended up in this tiny town that had abandoned mines, a ghost town, and backed up to a stunning canyon. Suffice it to say that I was impressed. I was so impressed, in fact, that I treated myself to an Egg McMuffin on the way home.
