Exploring color

Posted on by

We all love spring, right? Spring means better weather, outdoor activites and beautiful color.  For a couple weeks Nebraska lights up with  yellow wildflowers, purple and white trees. I find myself more and more looking at what’s in front of me and making it my own. The technique is placing your camera on a tripod , slow down the shutter speed and zoom in and out during the shot. Just like all long exposure shots you never know what you are going to get.

Nature’s Art

Posted on by

                                              SCOTT PAPEK PRESENTS  “NATURE’S ART”

“Nature’s Art” is a limited edition of only 300 prints and captured in eastern Idaho October 22, 2012.

I  envisioned this shot 2 years ago and was finally able to bring my imagination to life with some luck and persistence. I would give anything in the world to be a painter but unfortunatley my brain and hands don’t understand the concept. When picking up a camera 5 years ago it made instant sense to me and has given me a way to paint in another format.
The technique is placing your camera on a tripod in portrait mode, slow down the shutter speed and move the camera up and down during the shot. Just like all long exposure shots you never know what you are going to get. You could say this image is very different from my other work but what’s inside me is all the same.      [pinterest-pro type=”pinit” pin_url=”http://papekphotography.com/natures-art/” pin_image_url=”http://www.papekphotography.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/naturesart.jpg” pin_counter=”horizontal” pin_desc=”Veritcle Abstract by Scott Papek Photography”]

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.

This Image get’s me everytime! I’m such a sap when it comes to pets especially dogs. The Image was taken in Kauai in 2008 with my incredible wife, Julie. I wish you could have seen the rest of the story as the dog waited patiently for his master\dad to finish with his evening surf.

Missing the sun and ocean today. This Image was taken in Kauai, Hawaii to long ago. I can still feel the warm breeze and soft sand in my toes.
