study of light

[Dustin Gent]

Taken last March in southern Utah.

And congrats on this website, Jim! Great job!!

Welcome Dustin - I like the layers of sandstone shades coming up from the bottom. The light makes it look like completely different kinds of stone.

This is a well thought out study in shapes and colors. Well done.

Hey Dustin! Thanks for the kind words! FocalWorld is a real community effort, the great photos, the friendly help and atmosphere comes from just a bunch of really great people who are starting to make this their home. And a huge welcome to you, it's great to see you here, I hope you will become a regular here also.

And it was great running into you up at Owl Creek Pass this last fall, though it reminds me I don't think I have processed any of those shots yet.

This is a really sweet shot you got. I really enjoy the layering. What a great eye you had to pick this out from where it was you were shooting and to just focus on these layers. This is really awesome.

I can't figure out what is going on. Looks like 3 different pics layered over each other. How could the top be so back, when there is such strong light on the middle?

Looking up in a slot canyon.

As Alan had mentioned, i was looking straight up in the slot canyon. The black on the top of the image is the wall closest to me and the light wasn't reflecting off of it. Lack of shadow detail works well a lot of times

Thanks. However i never made it up to Owl Creek. Must have been someone else. I talked to a couple of people that were up that way and was tinkering with the idea of meeting up, but never did make it.

Welcome Dustin, glad to see you here! This one is definitely thought provoking. I like the layers and textures a lot. In some ways I feel like the black section is too dominant, but at the same time it forces me to really focus on the shapes and tones in the image. It almost makes me a little dizzy!

Oh man.... now who was I talking to up there? Well, I am sure I had a conversation with someone, so then who was it? Maybe next Fall I will meet you there then.
