Nature and Landscape Photography
<p>A really nasty spring storm in Nebraska turns into pure beauty. There are so many colors, textures, formations, and if that wasn’t enough, a rainbow. My favorite part of the image is the two different sky colors. Each side tells a different story. The orange side to me is very peaceful and the blue side has so much energy and feels alive. “Nebraska Spring Storm” is a Limited Edition of only 50 images available.

“The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity… and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself.”
William Blake
I wish I had a chance to have a cup coffee with William Blake so I could tell him how influential his short poem was to me and the whole reason this shot ever happened. My favorite compliment is when my pictures are compared to paintings. The technique for this type of shot is to have your camera on a tripod, slow down the shutter speed and slightly move the camera up or down while taking the image. Does it always work? Not at all. But when you get that one that does, it’s magical. View Nature is Imagination full image here.
One of my favorite things in the world to do is to search for shots. There is no map or final destination. Off the beaten path, on the very west of Wyoming lies this. For more info on this Image please go here
Somtimes all you have to do is look up to find Art. Antelope Canyon, Arizona.

Scott Papek is releasing two Limited Edition prints, Tranquility #1 and Tranquility #2. Both images were captured in Oregon on the Mission Gorge at the same location 15 minutes apart. Not only do you get amazing sunsets this time of year, but throw in some haze from the wildfires and it becomes unpredictable and quite frankly, unbelievable. I’ve never released two prints from the same scene but maybe with the twins on the way I’m used to buying everything double now. Then again maybe my wife, Julie, and I couldn’t agree on one. I hope you enjoy these as much as I do. Mother Nature is queen and I thank her for creating beauty every minute of every day.
May your day be filled with family, color and candy. Happy Easter from Scott Papek.
