Share a Tranquil Moment #TranquilThursday "Arizona Canel Sunrise" An early morning walk along the Arizona Canel proved to be a nice opportunity for a sunrise with Camelback Mountain in the background. #Arizona #CamelbackMountain #Sunrise #Photography #EastCoastKin

Show me a Backroad #Backroad "Where Morning Begins in Colorado" A county road in Northern Colorado led me to a windmill and a beautiful sunrise. (might have to look close for the road) #CountryRoad #Colorado #Windmill #Sunrise #Photography

It's Water Wednesday #WaterWednesday "Crimson Tidepools of Papagayo" A colorful red glow of a sunset in Costa Rica. Cropping sunset landscapes to 16:9 often creates a more immersive feel by emphasizing the horizon and foreground reflections. #Sunset #PuraVida #CostaRica #Photography

Trails on Tuesday #TrailTuesday "A Path Where Continents Part" On the Almannagja Trail in Thinkvellir Iceland you walk between 2Tectonic Plates. Use a path, sign, or person when shooting big geological landscapes to give a measure on how large the elements are. #Iceland #Thinkvellir #Photography

Monday Monochrome #MonochromeMonday "Wolf Moon Setting Behind Horsetooth Rock" A #FullMoon and a familiar rock in #Colorado. Full Moon Shot Tip: 20-30 min before sunrise or after sunset; pick an object to be in the shot; use a long lens making the moon bigger. #HorsetoothRock #Photography

#BlueSkyMonday "Blue Sky Glide" A serene moment above the Florida wetlands. It's peaceful to watch the Great White Egret fly in the open sky. Use a fast shutter speed (1/1600); focus on the eye (AI Servo); shoot in burst mode to get wings in right position. #BirdInFlight #GreatEgret #Florida

Let's See Some 💛for #SundayYellow "Fall On The Poudre River" Peak color, cold morning, and slow shutter to soften the river before the sun broke the horizon. Pre‑sunrise glow adds warmth without blowing out highlights. 1.0s, f/5.6, ISO 100 #FallColor #PoudreRiver #NoCo #Photography #EastCoastKin

Sunday Sunrise #SundaySunrise "First Light at the Confluence" Overlook looking down at Harpers Ferry. * Get there early to get good spot and plan your photo, * Patience to wait after sunrise to hit the church steeple; * use RR tracks as leading lines into the town. #WV #Photography #GoldenHour

Share a Reflection #Reflection “Going Hunting” A reflection is only as good as what’s in it. Don’t cut off the subject and in this case include the sky and the bow hunter for maximum impact. Muddy Pass near #RabbitEars #AspenTree changing yellow for the #FallColor #Photography #EastCoastKin

An astrological event TONIGHT Feb 28 Six Planet Alignment Party -30 minutes after sunset. Look low in the west (Mercury/Venus/Saturn) to high in the east (Jupiter). Visible to the naked eye: Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Jupiter. Uranus, Neptune needs a telescope starwalk.space/en/news/plan...

#BlueSkyArtShow Theme: #Round “Super Blood Full Moon Over Fort Collins” Totality = blood red Moon! 🌕🔴 Moon drifts fast across sky, so start at 1 sec shutter on tripod to avoid blur. Tweak ISO (800–3200) + aperture (f/4–f/8) for best exposure. Mar 3 enjoy the show! #LunarEclipse #BloodMoon

Picture Theme: Rocks #Rocks "Creek of Pillowed Stone" The massive boulder with a #Snow pillow and the water flowing around it caught my eye. I used a slow shutter (0.2 s) and a low ISO get the water silky smooth and not blow out the whites. #RockyMountainNationalPark #LongExpsosure #Photography

Thursday’s are Tranquil. #TranquilThursday “Costa Rican Gold” I exposed for the sun's highlights to keep that rich orange saturation in the sky and letting the rocks be in silhouette. The dark rocks act as anchors on the horizon #CostaRica #Sunset #GoldenHour #Silhoutte #Rocks

Thursday is travel day #TravelThursday your favorite travel photos “Poolside” Taken near Cabo #Mexico. The early sunlight hitting the palm trees and the pool chairs made it inviting. the #Reflection off the pool and the ocean added depth #Photography #GoldenHour

Wednesday is Wildlife Day #WildlifeWednesday "Colorado Crown: The Gaze Beyond" A Bighorn Ram in the mountains near Georgetown #Colorado poses on the rocks, eyes fixed on something just out of reach. #BighornSheep #Ram #Rocks #Mountains

Share whatever you like #WhateverWednesday "Smashing over the V-Wave" The V-Wave is a well-known spot on the Lava Falls Rapid, the highest-rated rapid in the Grannd Canyon. There are 5 people in the raft, can you find all 5? #WhitewaterRafting #AzRA #GrandCaynon #ColoradoRiver #Photography #Fun

Hello Water Wednesday! #WaterWednesday "Glow of the Venetian Rio" Taken on a Rio (canel) in Venice, the buildings define the lines leading to the sunset. I used a long exposure to smooth the water, making it a mirror to make the scene glow. #Venice #Sunset #CityScape #Photography #Italy #Canel

Let's fill BlueSky with Stunning Shots and Real Moments #ShareAPhoto "Lone Tree Sunset" A Lone Tree stands on the #Colorado front range near Fort Collins at #Sunset. The Colorado winter sunsets are a beautiful blend of orange and blue. #LoneTree #Tree #Mountains #Photography

It's TWOsday Share a Pair #TwoForTuesday "Two Great White Egret - Morning Procession" To keep the detail in the Egret's feathers, don't blow out the whites. Set the shot a little underexposed for white birds in the sun to preserves the texture. #GreatWhiteEgret #Florida #Reflection #GoldenHour

My rock collection has so much sediment-al value #RockinTuesday "The West Mitten Sunburst" To catch the sun in this exact notch, I was constantly moving to a spot where the sun and shade intersect. If you stay static, you miss the moment. #MonumentValley #Sunburst #Photography #Utah #Mittens

Monday Means Minimal! #MinimalMonday "Yosemite Valley Color Before the Sunrise" 30m before sunrise, I wanted the yellow & purple sky with the granite texture using a slow shutter to pull detail from the dark stone without blowing out the sky. #Yosemite #Sunrise #HalfDome #Photography

#BlueSkyMonday "Lone Tree Sunburst" The shadows of the Lone Tree are used as leading lines to pull eyes into the shot. Create scale and depth by placing the tree in the foreground making it look "larger" than the mountain. #Sunburst #LoneTree #Tree #Colorado #Mountains #Photography

Monday I'm Moody #MoodyMonday "Whales Mouth" For a high-contrast shelf cloud, bracket the shutter speeds to save the highlights without losing those moody "teeth." Using the road and farmhouse as anchors gives this massive storm scale. #Wx #Storm #Colorado #DirtRoads #Photography #EastCoastKin

Sunday Sunrise #SundaySunrise "Glass Shores, Gulf Coast" 25 seconds of stillness using an ND filter to "slow" the morning sun making the Gulf a silky mist. Shot with a tripod using the damp sand to act as a mirror, pulling the sky into the foreground. #GulfShore #Alabama #Sunrise #Photography

#BlueSkyArtShow Theme: #Two "Two Points of Red" Two Sandhill Cranes foraging for food in NE. I loved the crimson heads, a splash of color in a flat background. I focused on the head and eyes and set the exposure to highlight the red. #SandhillCranes #Migration #Nebraska #Birds

Spread positivity thru photos. Post a sunset photo and tag someone who loves photography @alinagrafik.bsky.social “Rays of Fire” This photo was taken during the High Park Fire at sunset. Look to the boat on the water for scale. #Sunset #Reflection #Lake #Boat #Colorado

Flyday Friday #FlydayFriday “Roseate Spoonbill in Flight” Low light + Roseate Spoonbill = Pure magic. I almost didn't take this shot because the sun was so low, but the backlighting saved the day. #BirdsInFlight #DingDarlingNWR #RoseateSpoonbill #Photography

Happy Friday. It’s time for a perfect fence post. Fence Post Friday #FencePostFriday. "Boardwalk To The Ocean" Taken on a trip to the Atlantic Ocean a nicely built boardwalk going over environmentally sensitive area to the beach. Can you see my photo mistake? i was in a hurry!
