Palm Springs, Baby!

Cracking new set Darren - The purple in the mountains in #1 is gorgeous

The sun going down in Palm Springs always catches me out - it's like someone switches the sun off early as it disappears behind the mountain - one minute it's daylight and the suns high in the sky - the next second it's this odd twilight and the sun is gone.

Makes for lovely photos though - I'm inspired to get out there this year and have a go.

Thanks, Chris. You planning to attend the Palm Springs Photo Festival this year? It's the first week in April.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Oooo, don't know about that - will had have to look it up - thx.

 

[Darren Bradley]

Here are a few shots that I took at the photo festival a couple of weeks ago, as promised.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Damn these are some fine images Darren - you've been a busy man!

The dusk shots are some of my favorites, love that purple sky shot.

But then you also got some amazing clouds in the daytime - the City Hall shot is wonderful

 

[Darren Bradley]

Thank you, Chris. I have been busy, indeed, but not that much behind the camera, alas...

I was happy with the results, although some of them don't necessarily reflect my normal style as I was trying to do some different things as part of the workshop. Sorry you couldn't come up!

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Damn work got in the way (again)

Some really nice stuff again here Darren. I'm particularly taken by the second shot, inside looking out, and I like the colour shot of the palms (No 4) with the bit of movement / blur in them.

Thank you, Pete!
