Stress seized her mind, the anguish of not pleasing the spectators, the judgment of all about her art. Then the light came on, all her feelings disappeared. She was on stage, her house. She could only be wonderful after so many years of practice.

Night Reflection 6.10

Playing with fireworks: Celebrating bigger than usual. There’s a sweet spot we look for when it comes to using sparklers in our artworks. We want them to be big enough so we feel their power and relative unpredictability in the image, but not too big so they become dangerous for ourselves or the environment we’re in. Every time we enter a firework store, which we don’t have where we live, we’re like kids in a candy store, excited to look for new sparkly toys to create with. This image was the result of experimentation we did with one of those new toys we found. It ended up being so bright that we used the fireworks as the only source of light. The tube became a… small rocket launcher! This is the only piece we’ll ever create with this type of visual. Too imposing for the calmness and wilderness of the environment we were in. Too noisy, too invasive in the experience of creation. Even in the middle of nowhere, we wonder if somebody would send us a rescue team, thinking we might need help! But we’re happy we did it that one night. It makes for an explosive addition to our unexpected verities chapter.

The Golden Touch

If you will ask me about the best time of the day for me,then it will be the time during early morning(sunrise) when the daylight is redder and softer than when the sun is higher in the sky. Golden hour also known as ‘Magic hour’ gives the soft touch to the sky and makes the early morning scene more blissful by the calming golden color.

Nature's Cotton Candy

When I first learned about Alstrom Point, located in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area of southern Utah, I knew I had to add it to my photo trek “must-visit” list. Alstrom Point, with an elevation of 4,685 feet, is highly regarded for its spectacular view of Lake Powell. In the spring of 2018, I experienced this remarkable vista firsthand as I stood near the edge, waiting for the sun to set and the full moon to rise. The majestic view evoked a sense of awe and timelessness. In my mind’s eye, I saw herds of long-neck sauropods that, according to the fossil record, roamed the area from the Early Jurassic to the Late Cretaceous Periods. Fast forward two hundred million years. While the moonrise was the main course, the delicate sunset forming before my eyes was a fabulous appetizer. I was glad that I took along my 20mm prime lens for the trip—it was perfect for capturing the expanse of land and the sweep of sky. Within minutes, the pink hues began to wane, but the sweet taste of nature’s “cotton candy” lingered as I readied my gear for the next course.

High Hopes

“High Hopes” is the extraordinary companion image to my 1/1 shot “Hope and Fear” which was featured in a full-page shot in Cosmopolitan Magazine, 2022 Issue 3. Both images feature the word hope in their titles because of the persistence and dedication that was necessary to capture something so unique on a day when there was little hope of finding success. On this summer afternoon in Arizona, I intended to stay home seeing very few prospects of capturing anything of significance. But I pushed through my doubt and drove towards a dying storm near the community of Arivaca. I arrived too late for the main show but found out that the best was saved for last. This lightning "crawler" perfectly completes the balance and symmetry with the rainbow, while leading lines from the hills slowly draw the eye's attention to the bottom where a barrel cactus desperately awaits the rain showers. To top it off, this magical scene was complete thanks to a dreamy magenta-toned sky at sunset. This is a single shot and not a composite.

Calmness

March 2020 in Egypt just before the curfew announced by the Egyptian president. My wife and I went on vacation and spent a few days in Sahl Hasheesh on the Red Sea in Egypt. The trip turned into something unexpected, and we didn't get home until 10 weeks later than planned. It was March 12, 2020 when this huge storm passed over the Red Sea and later on over Cairo. It's not really common for Egypt to have a severe storm with high winds and lots of rain over a few days. I took the camera, went down to the beach, was alone and took a series of long exposure shots. The weather was miserable, but somehow I was completely relaxed and calm as I took the pictures. The sea was wild and angry, and my wife said you're crazy to go out in this weather, but when I showed her the pictures afterwards, she understood why I had gone out, and she was also completely calm. That's why I named the series "Calmness.". Enjoy it and all will be well again one day. Christian Redermayer Be unique with your piece of art

The Tiny King by Amit Salvi

amitsalvi.eth

An oriental dwarf kingfisher (ODKF) or a pygmy kingfisher, is the smallest kingfisher in the world at about 13 cm in length. It is also the brightest, most colorful and one of the fastest Kingfishers on the planet. It typically breeds in the Indian subcontinent during monsoons, but in very specific places. It is also one of the most sought after by bird photographers. I flew from Dubai to Mumbai, traveled 100 kms by road off Mumbai, and trekked with 8 kgs of camera gear, to reach a hide where I could get a glimpse of this wonderful species. I drove at about 4 am, during the monsoon season, then walked off the beaten path to get to the location, where the probability of sighting it was on the higher side. The most difficult part of getting this shot was not reaching the location, but executing a shot, which will do justice to the beauty of the bird while it being an uncommon shot. Not only is the bird amongst the smallest (only a few cms. more than a hummingbird), but also very fleeting in nature. All the effort was worth it, as I got to photograph this beauty in full glory while it hunted and landed on this perch near a tree. The beauty of this moment is how the sun peeked through the early morning rain clouds at the right moment, to shower its divine light on the bird, while both the ODKF and its kill looked at the camera. A rare moment indeed! Offers for Collectors - Along with this picture, you get another ODKF picture specially minted only for the collectors of this one! Also you get added to my list of collectors, who will be offered subsidized listings in the future.

Golden Gap

In 2018 I won an international photo contest that gave me an opportunity to shoot some of the most epic locations in the USA. The Golden gate Bridge, in San Francisco Bay, considered one of the most photographed bridges in the world was on my top list. My self-challenge then was to do a fresh take, which I did. This shot is to date, one of my most successful and popular - my first image featured in National Geographic as the Top shot and an Editor’s Spotlight in 2018, and, a favorite in my social media gallery. It also paved the way for new doors of opportunity in my photographic journey.

The Lion King

So clear, yet enigmatic. So simple, yet charismatic. The beauty of this animal never fails to amaze me. This is my definition of an emblem of absolute power, beauty, and leadership in one shot—a rare combination for sure. The eyes are spot on the goal or aim, the mane like a saint, calm pose like a monk, and would attack like a warrior in a fraction of a second. The greatest fear in the world is of the opinions of others, do you think this "king" could care much about what others are talking about? Asiatic Lions have their last habitat in the beautiful Gir forest, Gujarat in India. This majestic big cat was once critically endangered but with great conservation efforts now they are 674 as per the last census rule the jungle.

Peaceful morning

For more than 15 years I have been exploring remote villages and settlements in my country. Surprisingly, so many places have remained almost the same as in the past. Sometimes, it seems that time has simply frozen there. And in my photographs, I try to preserve a piece of the past in our fast-paced and changing world. My goal is to show the beauty and uniqueness of places that many have forgotten about. In this photo, the small village Dunilovo. In the 19th century, industry and trade flourished here, ships sailed along the river. Now only memories remain. And most of the merchant houses in the village are closed or abandoned.
