Description
An otherwise mundane moss-covered log, protruding at an angle from the center of a nearby quarry lake, transiently took on added interest in juxtaposition with bright orange sunlight that reflected from a distant house on a hill beyond the lake. I have photographed this lake for years and it is rarely this calm. I had never noticed this splash of reflected sunlight before. It lasted only a few minutes, after the sun disappeared beyond a line of trees behind me, but while it was still lighting the house on the hill. I particularly lked the minimalist composition and the contrasts between the faint greenish reflection of the log in the water, the nearer reflection of the pink sky, and the vivid orange streaks.
________________________________
Gary Holmes, photographer: I have always loved to photograph nature, landscapes, abstract, and other found objects of interest. Although I have staged single and group portraits and still life photographs, I prefer the challenge of trying to capture the unpredictable spontaneity of things and events as they are occurring. I started with a Kodak Brownie as a child, but entered the world of real photography with a Canon AE-1 in the late 1970's. I have continued to develop my compositional and post-processing skills and have slowly acquired higher quality equipment that is now capable of putting those skills to their best use. I finally became confident enough to begin posting my work online in September 2012, and have successfully sold a number of my photographs on Fine Art America.
