Reflections of Creation

One of the greatest things that God has given humans is the ability to see beauty in the world around us. I have never noticed my dog stop and stare at the beauty of a forest or the incredible colors of a sunset, but these things have the ability to stop me in my tracks in wonder and awe. This website is my attempt to capture some of the beauty and glory of an indescribable God by capturing reflections of Him that I see in His creation.

drilling at sunset

This is straight off of the camera (except resized). This is underexposed by 1.3 stops (since that's where sis-in-law has her camera set). This gave the added bonus of colors really popping.

    Wow! This looks like the same scene I see out our front door -- only it looks better in your picture, because we are focusing on the lights!

    You made me have to download the picture and look at the exif. I took a half dozen or so pictures at different zoom levels, and some were aperture priority and some manual. This one was zoomed out using your IS lens at 17mm and I used aperture priority.

    f/4 for 1/3 of a second at 160iso.

    nice! i love how the post-sunset sky shows all the colors of the rainbow...graduating from rosy red at the bottom, through orange and yellow, morphing into greenish, then blue and into the indigo of night... love it! : )

    I agree, Sharilyn. God is quite the painter; maybe that's why we love sunsets so much. I've gotten to where I like to start shooting sunsets early and underexpose it and keep shooting for a good half hour after the sun sets.

    So, Christi, with that new camera, set your exposure correction to -1.3 and find a sunset

the most important part of this website

I enjoy photography and I always find myself wanting more time to be outside with a camera. The idea of posting my pictures was born out of the love for my wife, Alison (alisonbryantwrites.com), who hates it when I do not take my days off. This website, reflections of creation, is a way to force me to get out of the office from time to time and putting me outside where I love to be. While a creative outlet for me, I hope this is an encouraging site for you, and one which helps point you to the Creator of all this beauty around us. God is so much bigger and amazing than we could ever imagine, and He loves you and me! What an amazing thought! He loves us so much that He was even willing to let His son, Jesus, die as a sacrifice for us. That fact is more beautiful than any picture you will see on this website. I hope you know Jesus, but if you do not, please email me or go to www.needHim.org. Thanks again for coming and stop by again soon.
