Steve Hyde is the guest host for this week’s Lens-Artists Challenge. He asks us to select 5 (five!) images we consider to be our best photographs; “pictures that celebrate our love of photography.” This is harder to do than it may seem. Every photo I keep has resonance, or I wouldn’t bother saving it. However, there are some in my collection that I believe are quite visually striking and/or create an exceptional interesting sensation upon viewing.
During the first two months of the Covid 19 pandemic, when people were asked to stay where they were, I was at our condominium at the Breakers in Long Beach, WA. Most days I was the only human being walking the shoreline, so the resident Bald Eagles became accustomed to me. With his glare this adult male let me know he wasn’t about to share his meal.
Low tide on the Long Beach peninsula of Washington State, USA. A lone walker offers perspective, as sunlight through cirrus clouds reflects on the vast sandy shore.
From cabin #1 at Beach Haven, on the West side or Orcas Island, WA the sunsets often are spectacular. I had watched this young women when she paddled south through Presidents Channel, and I was thrilled for this “right place right time” moment, as she floated north through the glorious prism of sundown.
Moonglow over the Pacific, captured from the deck of our condominium at the Breakers, Long Beach, WA. I was fast asleep when my husband awakened me to see this full moon reflecting on the spring marshes and ocean. The lighting is as my camera caught it; no filters, just what the universe offered.
