Amethyst Sky I caught this moment along

I caught this moment along Yellowhammer Branch on the trail to Bear Creek Falls

when just a fraction of a second could make all of the difference visually

you'll see evidence of the "give and take" phenomenon where those initial colors peek through at selected intervals

I enjoyed the added effect of a super cool rim light on the sunlit pedestrians

Amethyst Sky I caught this moment alongI've always been interested in the "puzzle piece" patterns of light and dark shapes within subjects, and in my recent works I'm exploring this interest to a greater extent. With this subject from Lower Manhattan in New York City, I enjoyed the added effect of a super cool rim light on the sunlit pedestrians. I caught this moment during a mild late fall afternoon, when the steep angle of the sunlight yields dramatic and fun shadows.
