Dreaming of TomorrowPosted by drfl on June 29th, 2009

Today’s image was taken at a little Wildlife Management Area called Jack Sinn just east of Ceresco, Nebraska – here is a place of solitude.  The first three times I visited this area I was the only person out in the fields, it was only the wildlife and me.  On this evening the atmosphere was calm and warm with nary any sounds except the chatter of the insects.  I setup my photo gear and watched as the sun set, illuminating the clouds for one more brief minute.  I captured a few images and then quietly packed up, determined to return once again to the quiet peacefulness that this area provides.

From the Archives: An Eastern Nebraska FieldPosted by admin on March 7th, 2008

For today’s image I dug deep into the archive, way back to May of 2006 and found this image. On this day in May my wife Holly and I had been on a driving excursion looking for hay bales to photograph. We didn’t find any, but we found this field and I stopped and snapped a few images. I have never processed this image previously since it did not have the dramatic landscape light that I prefer. While going back through my old images again, however, I stopped on this image due to the contrasts between the yellow of the field and the cyan in the sky. Further exploration fo this image led me to the barn and the trees in the background of the image. I consider this to be a stereotypical Nebraska image, which I sometimes try to avoid, but it is still a serene view. Incidently, this was taken the same evening as one of my most popular photographs, “A Country Road”.

It’s February 15th, 2008 and I am creating my blog to showcase my recent photography work. For those of you reading this for the first time, I am a Nebraska-based Photographer specializing mainly in Scenic Landscape, Wildlife, and Nature shots. I enjoy traveling with my family and photographing not only the world, but the area close to my home here in Nebraska. I have been visiting DeSoto National Wildlife Refuge quite a bit recently since I will be having 2 showings of my work at the visitor center. The first is the week of March 10th, the second will be from April 12th-June 7th. Come up and visit!

My first image was taken on February 13th. It was a beautiful sunset that evening with the setting sun lighting up the clouds above the snow-covered DeSoto Lake.
