Lights Floating High in the Atmosphere
The photo for today is a fun one for me. Santa Fe, New Mexico has some really nice light fixtures, and I’ve somehow started a habit of trying to capture them in an interesting way.
I found myself realizing that fact about three weeks ago, when I saw these tall light fixtures that were reaching for the sky. Santa Fe has open and most often blue skies, where you can see all the way to Colorado on clear days. I decided I wanted to show these light fixtures as seeming to float in the sky above us with no attachment to the ground, and this is what I got.
Shot with my 105mm lens at f/2.8.

very nice… i like the position you have set the camera to this photo… not the usual, so great 😀
Thanks, Filipe I think it’s the angle that makes the shot interesting. 🙂 Thanks for your comment! 🙂
I agree, those are unique. Nothing like I have ever seen. 🙂
Ah, glad I showed you something new, Bob.
Katie – Wow – Cool capture – it does look like it is floating in space. Cool perspective. I hope you have a great weekend.
Best Regards
Jim
Thanks, Jim! You too, have a great weekend! 🙂
Very apt title Katie. Love this picture. And the cloud in the background just below the lamp looks like a some art. That’s wind’s art. 🙂
Love to hear the word “art.” 🙂 Thanks so much for the comment, Nandini!
Very sci-fi. Nice idea.
Yes, sci-fi! 🙂 Thanks for the comment.
Such a great shot! Love it! 🙂 Lucky you to have mostly clear skies unlike London 😀
Ah, but I wish we had rain/water here like London. 🙂 Thanks, Kristina!
Cool photo!! It appears as if the streetlight is above the clouds!
Glad you see it that way, David! Thank you!
Love the photos and am looking forward to seeing more!
Thank you! And thanks for visiting my blog. 🙂
Great pics!
Thank you! 🙂
That is a truly cool shot!
Ah, thank you!!! 🙂
I love the perspective of this! It does look like it’s floating. 🙂
( Thanks for all the kind words and for checking in on my blog. Means a lot.)
Thanks, Jenna! I can’t wait until the next installment of the Boxer drawing. 🙂
A beautiful shot, Katie! I love non-traditional light fixtures in towns. They create a feeling for the town that makes it unique. 🙂
i agree, Ted. I love seeing unique lighting fixtures too. Just something about them. Glad you like the shot! 🙂
Hi Katie – Love the light fixture and the way you have photographed it! You lucky thing – ‘open and most often blue skies’ – here in Scotland we have ‘closed, wet and most often grey skies’, and even more than London! Lucky us!
Cheers
John
Ah, I miss cloudy skies and rain so much, though! But still, nice to have a winter with blue skies and sun! So glad you like the photo, John! 🙂
That looks so cool against the blue sky.
You’re right – it does seem to float in the sky.
Fun pics always put a smile on my face
Ah, glad this put a smile on your face! 🙂
I love this
Ah, thank you! 🙂
Clouds are endlessly fascinating to me. That roundish blob one with the ‘rays’ is terrific.
Thank you! Glad you noticed that cloud. 🙂 I thought it was the clouds that made the photo really. 🙂
