James Shonka Photo Blog

Welcome to my Photo Blog. I'll try to mix it up, there are lots of different types of photography. Much of what I photograph is in the landscape category. My passion regarding nature started as a boy. The Cascade mountains of Washington were where my father introduced me to hiking and fishing. Watching a bald eagle use its strong talons to pluck a large trout out of the water was the kind of experience that had to be part of my future. I hope you enjoy my photo-journey.

If you don't do it you can't get it

Today I got up about 4:30 a.m. and decided to see if I could capture a pink mountain. Sunrises are tricky to predict. But if you don't try you can't get anything. Reminds me of a quote, "if you aim at nothing you are sure to succeed at nothing". This image has the slightest tint of pink.

Thanks Shari. I'm having a lot of fun with the photo blog. I've committed to posting at least one image a day for a year.
