Post Storm

Why all the storm images? Good question, with my images in Hot Shops the month of May it’s given me a chance to spend quality time with people like you who follow my work. What’s really awesome about people like you who follow my work is how smart and passionate you are about art. The last 3 images posted on the blog are not showcased in the Hot Shops and I’m hearing about it. So I’m listening to you and showcasing images you like.

Clouds make or break a Image for me. The sky is a Landscape Photographers lightsource so it’s pretty important to pay attention above. Nerbraska skies offers some of the most incredible clouds and color. This Image was taken in 2011 off 181stish and 370 in Nebraska.  

Here is my formula when hunting for a shot.

1. Sky

2. Light

3. Subject

4. Composition

5. Is it safe for me or nature

Whitsunday

This Saturday from 10:00am to 3:00pm we will be set up selling smaller prints from 8 x12’s to 12 x 18’s at the Hot Shops art center

I spent a year in planning the perfect photography trip to Australia and it all went out the door when it rained for 10 of the 11 days. Yes it was irritating! Another passion of mine is Craft Beer but at $22.00 a 6 pack that got old pretty quick also. We did get off Whitsundays Island one day and I was fortunate to find a dry spot to capture this raging storm.

Wisdom

Scott Papek proudly presents WISDOM. This Image was taken June 2011 in Basin, Wyoming. Wisdom is a Limited Edition print of only 300 prints.

What a gem of a find. There are so many reasons of why I was meant to be a Landscape Photographer. One of the main reasons is this Image. When planning a photography trip I always have an idea of where I want to end up but it’s the interesting finds along the way in the journey.

Whispers of the Stream

Scott Papek proudly presents WHISPERS OF THE STREAM. This Image was taken June 2011 outside Frisco, Colorado. Whispers of the Stream is a limited edition of 300 prints only.

The last month I’ve spent so much time reveiwing my portfolio and myself. I’ve only been photographing for 5 years but my soul has been photographing since I was a child. Being around water is my escape or sanctuary. It started as a child with family vacations in Minnesota. Being around water reminds me of family, beauty and comfort.
