I knew the sunset was going to be very colorful so I quickly jumped in the car and started driving around to find something of interest, not wanting to waste this beautiful sunset. I knew there were sunflower fields around but couldn't find them in time. I passed this soybean field that was perfect for a great wide angle shot and just had to turn around and shoot it. I am thankful I did. This photograph encapsulates the beauty of the Midwest.
I love getting in the water to photograph waterfalls and the more and more I did it I started to notice the beauty of a waterfall was more than just the falls itself. Sometimes the pool or shoreline would have sharp jagged rocks, some would have small colorful pebbles and some would have a sandy bottom. I loved the ideal that I could display what I was feeling under my feet. So after a year of planning and practice I came away with this idea and shot. It is something that I have never seen done before but loved that I could show you both the bottom and topside of the waterfall.
I love hiking the local parks near me. They may not have grand vistas but it's what you make of it that’s special. I couldn't help but stop and snap this shot. As I stood there the snow piled up on my head, it was a winter wonderland.
