Today I had two newspaper shoots, one a cover assignment for the Cupertino Courier up in the Steven’s Creek Canyon. On the way back from that shoot and on the way to the next, it was twilight. I got toward the reservoir at the beginning of the canyon and the light just turned on its head and started glowing!
I slowed down and found a spot to pull over. There was already a guy out there with a camera. Great minds- it was kind of funny, a couple of photographers seeing the light. The other thing was that we had no subject- just good light. He walked down to the reservoir wall, while I walked to the waters edge. I looked for something to place in the foreground and just let the light do the talking. The show was over in about 10 minutes- it was nice to be there to see it. I have no idea what the other photographer captured, but I am happy with these results in between assignments.
