This one comes from the Island in the Salt. Memorial Day 2014, my photographing family embarked on a photo trip to Antelope Island, located smack in the middle of The Great Salt Lake. Competitive as always, the paterfamilias, my dad, suggested a friendly family photography competition.
We scoured the island, Nikon cameras in tow, searching for angles, contrasts, unique takes, and plenty of macro work. Towards the end of the afternoon, I found myself laying on my back, camera upside-down, shooting into the sky. The result of my valiant efforts, seen here, was my entry.
I love the auroras that envelop each fuzzy stalk-tip. I also enjoy how the motion of the wind is preserved in the shot. The lens-flare, too is a nice touch. Green and blue always look good together, and you find yourself instinctively squinting at the sun.
For all those curious regarding the results of our family competition, I won.
