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...
One of the better photographs, with sunstars, I`ve seen for quite a while, Jeffrey Sullivan! I love how it reminds me of the joys of spring..almost like a reverse autumn in this particular photograph.
ReplyDeleteThanks Seung Kye Lee, particularly valuable praise coming from you!
ReplyDeleteThis small spring right next to the main road into Yosemite Valley, so it is a site which I always see photographers huddled around, and frankly I tend to avoid it. But the seasonal possibility of Fall colors and the momentary absence of other photographers caused me to stop on this day. Having the spring to myself only lasted a couple of minutes, and I stopped when people started walking into the field of view of my lens, but using a wider perspective and creating the sun star seemed like a way to make a heavily shot location slightly more interesting.
beautiful ^_~
ReplyDeletelike it so much....
