"FROM THE FIELD" of Soaring Light Images
Reflections in a Slab
© Dino Gomez 2005 - 2015 - www.dinogomez.com
The GETTY ARTS CENTER was built over 10 years ago in the Santa Monica Hills just north of Los Angeles. For the past 3 years, I have driven up to the center to take photos around the grounds. This past January, a new sculpture of a large, highly polished 'slab' was set up in the south end of the main lobby. I waited for the many visitors to walk by and shot this one of the reflections in the slab that included another photographer with a different focus....
High Desert Sunrise
Sunrise at Joshua Tree National Park
For the past 16 years, I have been spending late October (around the time of my birthday) in the Palm Springs area of the Coachella Valley. I only 'discovered' Joshua Tree National Park a few years ago and have made it part of my photo itinerary during each trip.
It was this morning that I got motivated enough to get up before 5 AM and drive to the park (about 50 minutes) before sunrise. I wasn't completely sure of the best spot to be at sunrise and decided to take a chance. I recently added the app to my iPad2 for the "Photographer's Ephemeris" but I'm still learning how to use the maps and information on sunlight location to help me scout the area in advance for best position for lighting.
Anyway, here's one of my 'efforts' early this morning in Joshua Tree NP as the sun rose and began to light up the valley..
