London Bridge at Night, originally uploaded by LeggNet.

We’re back in Utah after spending 6 days in Arizona. Featured here is a nighttime capture of the famed London Bridge in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. This photograph required a 30 second exposure. Note how the long exposure makes the water appear so smooth.

Sunset on the London Bridge Channel

2 Comments


London Bridge Channel, originally uploaded by LeggNet.

Greetings from Lake Havasu City, Arizona.

This capture was made last night on the London Bridge Channel. If you’re not familiar with the story, the original London Bridge (yes, the one that’s falling down) was dismantled in the sixties and sold to a businessman who had it re-assembled in Lake Havasu City, Arizona in 1971. It now serves as the central point of the London Bridge Channel on Lake Havasu, a western mecca to boating enthusiasts everywhere.

The whispy clouds add dramatically to the color reflectiveness of the sunset. I like how the waves in the clouds are nearly symetrical with the waves on the water.

Springtime Meadow

Stream through a Meadow, originally uploaded by LeggNet.

This capture was made in Bluffdale (Utah) alongside a major road. While driving through the area, I noticed this serene scene and stopped to make this capture. The softness of the light along with the lushness of the meadow draws me into this scene. It’s hard to imagine that just one week prior, this meadow was covered in a layer of fresh now.

Barbed Wire on Fence Post, originally uploaded by LeggNet.

Behind my home sits an empty field representing what is left of a farm that used to occupy this area. While walking in this field recently, I came across an interesting old fencepost. The indentations surrounding the post from the years of supporting barbed wire caught my eye.

Maybe because this is Passion Week, but I continually see Christ’s Crown of Thorns when I look at this capture. I think the tone and detail add to this.

At the park

I haven’t featured any photos of my children for awhile, so I thought I would share this recent one made at a local park.

What draws me to this capture is her eyes and how they are looking so clearly at the camera. Elisabeth photographs very well, but seldom has a cheesy “take my picture” grin.

Bridal Veil Falls in Black & White

2 Comments

Cold and snowing on Thursday, warm and sunny on Friday. That pretty much sums up the past two days in Northern Utah.

Featured here is a capture of Bridal Veil Falls located East of Orem in Provo Canyon (Utah). The falls are currently running very strong with the snow melt contributing to the nice water flow.

It’s been raining here quite a bit lately. I made this capture of a raindrop on a barbed wire fence in the field behind my house yesterday. The green in the background is the springtime grass that has been thriving in all the moisture.

Featured today is a close-up of the front of an old Ford cargo van. I’m not sure of the age, but it appears to be from the 50′s. It is painted “Krispy Kreme” green and sits in front of a local doughnut shop for advertisement. If you look closely, you can see a reflection of my car on the left side.

Caught these boxcars travelling by on a recent trip up north. I panned the camera to follow the train as it went by, causing the blur effect on the background. Adding the copper/sepia tone and the saturation created the ‘antiqued’ look I desired.

This won’t happen again in our lifetime.
