A Thursday Throwback – 3

Spontaneous moments in photography occur when we look beyond the obvious; sometimes they are right at our feet!

It’s hard to believe that it’s been more than 13 years since my trip to Chincoteague with John Slonina Photography; I’ve been on a number of trips with John, including this year’s outing to Zion, Bryce Canyon and Valley of Fire, and have enjoyed everyone one of them. John’s knowledge of the areas where he does tours is in-depth and I really appreciate the way he adapts to the needs of each individual participant.

Today’s throwback came about from one of those moments where the landscape in front of me was not the most interesting part…

Still Waters

After photographing the famous ponies of Chincoteague, we explored a couple of areas to see what would work best for some sunset photo opportunities. As we did I looked down at the pond where we were standing and noticed some interesting patterns and colors.

This is one of those serendipitous captures that still looks good after a decade plus!
