The Egret

Matt Perkins February 19, 2023

I asked Google Photos for help identifying this bird, so if I got it wrong I apologize. This bird was wading alone in one of the ponds at Papago Park while looking for its dinner.

Latourell Falls

Matt Perkins November 27, 2022

Latourell Falls is one of the few falls in the Colombia River Gorge where you could potentially walk right up to the water falling 249 feet from the top. Preferring to stay as dry and arm as the blustery day would allow, we climbed down to the water but stayed well back from the water’s impact point.

Red Mountain at Dusk

Matt Perkins January 10, 2021

This photo is a good representation of how lighting can change for the better, even after the sun has set. I got to this location at the south end of the Salt River later then I meant to as I had stopped at my old address to pick up some mail and visit my two favorite furballs. As I was setting up, a man and his daughter were collecting mud from the banks of the river for some sort of project. The man mentioned that I was just a little late for the sunset and I acknowledged that he was right. I took a few shots from their location and then moved to another spot, often used to launch kayaks and small boats. The location provided a well framed shot of the Red Mountain with the water on the bottom and the branches of the tree on top. I probably debated even taking the picture for about 4 minutes but finally decided I might as well since I’d driven all the way out here. After a little back and forth a 30 second exposure stopped down to f 9.0 gave me what I was looking for and I was able to pull enough light and color back out of the scene to make it work.

Hole in the Rock

Matt Perkins November 22, 2020

In Papago Park there is a natural geological feature called Hole in the Rock which is…..exactly what it sounds like…a large rock formation with a hole in the middle of it. Clearly, this is not the best vantage point from which to see the hole, but the formation standing above the waterline caught my eye and was well framed by the palm tree’s in the foreground.

Water Hazard

Matt Perkins August 2, 2020

While this might look like an everyday duck pond this duck is actually swimming around in a water hazard for the 11th hole at Red Mountain Ranch Country Club. A sizable body of water, this pond collects numerous waterfowl and also has fish and turtles swimming around in it.

Salt River Sunrise

Matt Perkins July 26, 2020

Salt River Sunrise

With a few days off, I decided to stay up and head to one of my favorite spots at sunrise. I arrived in darkness and stayed until the sun was well above the horizon and the heat of the day was starting to settle in. The Salt River is the largest tributary of the Gila River and runs about 200 miles before ending at the southwest edge of Phoenix and gets its’ name from the large salt deposits it flows over near the starting point. This lower section of the Salt River where is photo was taken is widely used for fishing, tubing, and kayaking but is also home to numerous forms of wildlife including the wild horses seen in this photo.

Canyon Lake Sunset

Matt Perkins March 22, 2020

As I mentioned in the post from earlier this week Highway 88 provides numerous observation points as it winds its way through the desert mountains. One of these spots lies just past the West Canyon Lake Marina. You can pull over, park your vehicle and a short but steep climb will bring you to a plateau on the ridgeline overlooking Canyon Lake. I spent about four hours at this spot and was able to capture a wide variety of photos ranging from sunset to starlight.

Lynx Lake

Another photo from my trip to Lynx Lake in Prescott. The trail hugs the shoreline closely for 90 percent of the hike and brings you many of these small coves where reeds or fallen trees sit at the waterline.

Tempe Bridges

Matt Perkins December 1, 2019

I hope this finds everyone rested up thanks to…and perhaps from the Thanksgiving holiday. After a crazy run of days between jury duty and working, I am enjoying several days off myself. I decided to run over to Tempe Town lake yesterday as I figured it might be a little less crowded than usual and I wasn’t disappointed.

As a side note, I’m always thinking of different ways to present the photos I take. This past year I’ve worked under the timeline of posting one photo per week…..or at least one primary photo per week. Occasionally I’ve had a set of photos and have either posted them as a group or posted one photo and then added the others to the gallery on my website. I am always working to find the balance between posting photos…..and trying not to be the friend that is constantly posting new content and/or asking you to check out items for sale. There is a fine line between keeping you intrigued or leaving you annoyed…. and I’m trying to walk it. So I’m going to start trying something new. If I end up with a series of photos in a shoot I will post a primary photo to FB and Instagram, as most of my traffic is to this account, and any subsequent photos may be posted to Instagram throughout the week What do you think? Good idea? Bad Idea? Couldn’t care less please pass the Thanksgiving leftovers??? Let me know in the comments. Cheers!!
