Yet another brand new #Xcapee! I just needed to let go of a few hundreds followers. So here I am, all alone.
I hope there's room for photo-centric accounts on Bluesky. I'll spend the next few days reposting #photography, like and follow to help me rebuild.
Let there be #light in here!

The light was doing all the heavy lifting—those warm reds in the reeds, clear water beneath, clean sky above. Hard to improve on this kind of day.

Yellow maple against weathered bark. That contrast—color against texture, soft light separating them. One of those quiet autumn moments.

Spring at full green. The bridge and trees reflected perfectly in the still water—one of those calm days where the light just feels right and everything is doubled below the surface.

Love the clarity here—Mount Rainier with that sharp snow against deep blue, and the foreground pines frame it perfectly. Tommy captures landscape light beautifully. Absolutely worth following. #photography #landscapephotography

The contrast caught me—weathered wood against that striking, almost emerald-green wall. This chemamull has so much texture and shadow, and the light brought out every carved detail.

Loving how this captures fog moving through forest and hills—muted, layered, contemplative. The way the mist reveals the landscape’s depth, how autumn tones peek through gray. Absolutely worth following. #photography #landscapephotography

Golden hour light transformed a simple arrangement of summer vegetables into something luminous. There's something about the way the sun catches these everyday objects, the texture of aged walls, the colors all at once.

I very much enjoy the experimental part of photography. This image was made with intentional camera movement, or #ICM. It's a 5 second exposure. During the exposure, I moved the camera slightly upwards. #photography #landscape #EastCoastKin #trees #fog #icmphotography #photooftheday #MotionBlur
