In Search of a Magazine Cover Photo
In Search of a Magazine Cover Photo Back in June I described on my blog a trip I took where I'd focus on vertical day and night landscapes to enter into Outdoor Photographer magazine's Cover Photo contest: http://activesole.blogspot.com/2011/06/in-search-of-magazine-cover-photo.html Well, my new shots from that trip didn't win, but a star trails shot from a couple of weeks earlier in Yosemite National Park did! I hear it'll be the November cover, which should hit newsstands in a few shot weeks. I should have a cover mock-up to show you shortly. It's going to be Outdoor Photographer's best issue EVER! No, I don't know what will be inside yet, but the cover will rock, so they'd better make the rest good! I wonder if they'd consider not putting that big yellow title over my stars... Update 9/12 : Outdoor Photographer magazine has posted a copy of the October issue with an article on star trail photography: http://www.outdoorphotographer.com/how-to/sh...
if I had to pick only one, it would be this one.
ReplyDeleteWonderful job. that water is perfect and the light is great too!
ReplyDeletewonderful work
ReplyDeleteThis is another shot in this set which requires special conditions. Joshua Tree National Park is in Southern California's Mojave Desert, so rainfall is scarce. I've found water here at Barker Dam on other visits, but never this much. I've also had people visit only a week or two after seeing my reflection shots from here, but they report the small reservoir as dry! So I was doubly lucky on this visit with both the abundant water and the picturesque weather/clouds catching the morning light.
