A Mystical Moment Of Reflection (A colorful landscape, ghostly figures and strange architectural elements are blended in reflection in window glass at the edge of Monument Valley, part of the vast territory of the Navajo Nation of the American Southwest. 

This may not be my best photo. However, it's one of my favorites, because it's an image that was right in front of me that would not ordinarily be accessible to the normal visual and photographic process. I've trained myself, though, to look for reflections, and this one has a dream-like quality to it, a sort of Image Quest dimension dimension, if you will.)

The Night Sky Above Monument Valley (With a DSLR, it's usually possible to see the night sky, dimly, through  the viewfinder, and frame a photo.

For this photo, I used a 30mm f/2.8 lens, wide open, on a Sony A6000 mirrorless camera, which doesn't have an optical viewfinder. Seeing with an electronic viewfinder in the dark is almost impossible. So I had to make a few practice shots to get the composition I wanted of innumerable stars above a sandstone butte. The butte was illuminated by the lights of Gouldings Lodge, where I was staying with my photo group, 50 yards behind me.)
