Nancy's Pics

These are photos that catch my eye. I prefer to observe and document the great outdoors to honor the beauty of nature.

Kaleidoscope Bay by Nancy Winberg

This week I pulled out my camera to test out a new lens. More than the lens, looking into the frame was like remembering myself. Documenting all that touches my soul, my heart and my eye. How lucky are we to live in these moments?

This is an extension of my studies in water reflections. At the shallow end of the bay golden patterns reflect from the bordering marsh plants and sunset light.

The Last Beach Walk 2 by Nancy Winberg Via Flickr:

I went down to the beach on Christmas Day and snapped up some pics. I wondered how many more times I would take this walk again? There is nothing like witnessing the violent and beautiful forces of nature enfold in front of you. Near the shoreline, the sky moves at a vigorous pace. The quiet life of the lake can not compare to this..

Reaching Up by Nancy Winberg Via Flickr:

Trees are healers. Trees have evolved compounds to protect themselves from fungi and bacteria. They live long lives because they can ward off disease. When you walk among trees, you breathe phytoncides and they boost your body’s immunity. So walk by a tree and breathe.

I love this West Seattle artist Lorraine Fryett, who had a show up at Wallflower Custom Framing last month. I bought one of her paintings, which is rare. Heightened details are carefully observed and there is a dedication to technique. Organic forms and thoughtful placements of color make this work more than just a group of plants. Beautiful-

Arts In Nature Festival by Nancy Winberg

This was the first time I have documented a public event for an organization. I was surprised by how fun it was. The kids just loved getting their portraits shot and the performances were lively. What a great summer day!

Paddle Boarding by Nancy Winberg

I walked down to the beach the other night with my camera, inspired by the sunset. I’ve resisted the urge to shoot lately, but on nights like this it is hard not to. I sat next to a random stranger and discussed the quality of the sunset reflected in our lens.

tableaux imaginaires's favorites

I found this page on Flickr today. Yet another photographer who likes water reflections as much as I do. Yay!!!

Safe Harbor by Nancy Winberg

My new collection Water Reflections is now on view for the month of June, at Cupcake Royale in West Seattle. Come by and check it out! See how fluid abstractions of color can make this natural resource a beautiful work of art.

Final Project, Light Control on Flickr.

I shot this yesterday in the school studio, at PCNW. Love the effects and mood I can achieve with studio work.

Sunset on Elliot Bay on Flickr.

I like this pic because of the way golden light reflects off the water's edge. The night was iridescent, with a small trail of ducks steadily making their way towards the setting sun. To the right lies a ship, in perfect symmetry.

Kyak at Dusk on Flickr.

I just uploaded the last of my summer pics. They are a series of water themed images I formed into a collection, titled Water Reflections. The abstract patterns and colors which play across their surface fascinate me. This collection could grow throughout the year and constantly change, due to the variance in natural elements.

Whiskers At Home on Flickr.

Will I ever get bored of photographing cats? Probably not. Here is a cutie I shot for my friend Jessica who runs her own cat sitting business, Whiskers at Home. This guy had me smiling, just look at the trail of fur he left on the floor.

Reflective Urban, a set on Flickr.

Recently I finished a collection of reflective abstracts discovered in my travels through Downtown Seattle and Bellevue. This is a new concept I wanted to explore, to challenge my way of seeing. A thanks to the students of my Spring Beg. Digital class, for opening my eyes to the unusual and original.

Heat Wave on Flickr.

This pic is from a class field trip I attended with a group of photography students. I was a teacher’s assistant for a group of teenagers. What I learned from this experience is that kids are beautiful people. You can teach them, but ultimately they end up teaching you. There is an inner child alive in all of us, no matter how old you get…

Rain Drops on Flickr.

Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass… It’s about learning to dance in the rain. -Vivian Greene.

Sky Painting on Flickr.

On a whim I drove over to the beach last night. It has been awhile since I had heard the sound of the ocean and glanced across the endless waves. This was the last photo I took as the sun went down. So peaceful...

Winter Moon 2 on Flickr.

I like this shot I captured of the winter moon. It was apogee on this night; the point at which it is furthest away from the earth. Kind of ironic since it looks so huge in the blue evening sky. I am having fun with the new zoom lens that Santa gave me, the EF70-300mm.
