scattered horizons photoblog reverse 365 home about me tones on tuesday reverse 365 tips tricks accolades camera bag photo bucket list i was showcased blog button sunday april 19 2015 the northern lights i am a collector of experiences i love adventures and as my profile says it is about the journey as much as the photo itself so when i heard about the chance to see and photograph the northern lights near me i jumped at the chance i never thought i would be able to see them this far south they have been on my bucket list forever but i thought a trip to alaska iceland or norway was the only way to catch a glimpse when a friend of mine melissa said it was possible 2 hours from where i live i knew i had to go despite it making for a long night melissa let a group of us know that a show was possible and i made the trek up to anacortes wa to join her and a group of fellow photographers you can see melissa s shots from the night here as my eyes adjusted to the darkness and i took a few test shots i began to see green in the camera as the show became stronger i was able to see lighter gray sections of the sky and streaks moving upward as well as pink along with the green in my camera it was a thrilling experience and something i am so glad i did despite the limited sleep that night i cannot wait to go again and because this was such a learning experience for me only had a few usuable shots i share some tips at the bottom of this post settings iso 400 16mm f 4 0 ss30 0sec taken around 9 30pm on april 15th 2015 at washington park settings iso 3200 35mm f 11 ss30 0sec taken

10 40pm on april 15th 2015 at washington park the north the north from out the north what founts of light are breaking forth and streaming up these evening skies a glorious wonder to our eyes hannah flagg gould the aurora borealis a few things i learned about shooting the aurora borealis 1 you can see them much farther south than you think you just need a place that is as dark as possible away from light pollution and north facing with a good view of the horizon 2 there are a ton of groups on facebook websites and apps for knowing when a storm is coming facebook aurora alerts by soft serve and aurora borealis notifications website soft serve news and space weather prediction center app aurora forecast free for iphone 3 a tripod is a must and a remote is extremely helpful you have to have a very long exposure a wide open aperture and a higher iso so you need to do everything you can to minimize movement 4 manual focus to infinity in the pitch dark there is nothing to see focus on so you have to set manual focus for your camera this is what i need to work on for next time 5 limit exposure of your eyes to light use a red filter on your flashlight don t check your phone etc this is the only way you can see anything with the naked eye as i said i have a ton to learn and i can t wait to try again i hope you find these tips helpful and i would love to know what you think of my

ii flowers spring tulip festival tulips location mount vernon wa usa sunday april 5 2015 that time i fulfilled a life long dream of photographing crater lake for as long as i can remember growing up there was a photo of crater lake hanging in our house it was taken with a film camera in the 70s or 80s and the colors had faded but it was still stunning to me i dreamed of visiting that place and once i discovered my passion for photography of photographing it as well i attempted the trip in my old car and ended up killing that car resulting in never making it to the lake in 2013 i finally made it we drove all the way around the rim of the crater which i highly recommend and stopped at almost all the viewpoints i had rented a 17 40mm lens and fell in love with wide angle on that trip i cannot put into words the feeling of the majestic place combined with finally realizing a long held dream i am hoping this picture will do what i cannot settings iso 100 32mm f 16 ss1 15sec taken at

2013 finally this feels so weird blogging i mean it has been such a long time even though it has only been a couple a months when you go from blogging several times a week to none i am sure you get the idea i also haven t been shooting that much i did however brave the rain and wind to spend the day walking around seattle with a group of amazing photographers it was for the annual clickin moms clickin walk which i have gone to 3 years in a row here a photo of our group at the beginning of the walk taken by one of our fearless leaders davina it was a challenge to take photos but the experience was amazing i got to see people i haven t seen in a year meet new people and immerse myself in my passion for a day it is difficult to describe the boost in creative energy one can get from just simply being around people who love the same thing you do and who love it just as much here are a few of my photos from the walk settings iso 320 50mm ss1 3200 f 3 2 settings iso 320 50mm ss1

photographer i had met first at another photography meet up get a shot she had been hoping to try as with many photographers i am not a fan of being in front of the camera however i just couldn t pass up the chance to be a cheerleader and model for a photo i know what it is like to dream about getting a certain shot and i was glad to help make it happen i also learned about bit about flash because of this photo and a mini workshop jennifer put on after the walk how cool is that i can t wait to see what next year s clickin walk brings life is a canvas of many strokes where shades from different palettes meet into a picture so concrete that some forget it is their own so become framed themselves vanna bonta posted by unknown at 8 55 pm 4 comments email this blogthis share to x share to

announcement i have been putting off this post for a while now not wanting to write it however it has been so many weeks since i posted tones on tuesday that i thought some of you might be wondering what happened so here goes unfortunately i have had to make the decision to put tones on tuesday on hold for a bit i am a teacher so this time of year is very busy for me as i ready myself for another year i am sure many of you can relate as you get ready to send your children back to school this year is a bit different though as i have decided to pursue advanced certification in an extremely rigorous process i went to a workshop about getting this started and realized that the amount of time i will need to devote to the process will be more than i was anticipating i love hosting tones on tuesday each week and i love seeing your photos and getting to know you through them however i am also trying to make sure i don t have too much on my plate and feel stressed about honoring all the commitments i make for myself so tones on tuesday will be taking a little break i hope to be able to find a way to balance it all and will resume the weekly link up when i feel i can do that successfully i hope to still post in some other link ups and still have some time to spend with this passion of mine i hope that you will do that same and that i will see your photos around i am really going to miss tones on tuesday and all of you if you are looking for some other places to link up on tuesday see below also if you would like to be notified when tones on tuesday is back up and running simply link up below and of course i could not leave this post without a photo settings iso 100 32mm ss2 5sec f 16 polarizer on tripod no sensible decision can be made any longer without
