We got the chance to experience Illume this weekend and I'll tell you, it was it something to see. A bunch of the worlds greatest "action and adventure" photographs featuring extreme sport athletes doing what they do best lit up the sand and sky of Huntington Beach and it was awe-inspiring to say the least.
Read all about the exhibit on the Red Bull Illume website and get a look at the incredible photographs featured and the photographers that captured them. And I thought chasing after a preschooler with a camera was a challenge!
I look a handful of shots of the evening but this one of my daughter looking at the enormous glowing screen was my top choice for My BSM.
Illume's next stop: Portland, Oregon. If you live there, I encourage you to check out the show when it comes your way.
What glowing images would you like to share? No, 'glow' is not the theme today...I was just trying to be clever.





Tracey - Thanks for the links to Illume...amazing. Love your shot.
Here's mine for this week.

The closest beach to me is about 4 hours away, but that looks really cool. Hopefully I'll get a chance to see it!!

That looks like it was a blast!
My image is from a local festival this past weekend. I jacked up the saturation to make the colors bigger and brighter, and I kind of like it.

I love the way she looks like she's witnessing a UFO landing :)
I like this one, because I'm so proud of my daughter for learning to put her face in the water. It took a while, but now she actually thinks it's FUN!

So nice! I have such a problem with light, too...that is great!
I also had a problem with the backlight on my BSM, but I just love the pic anyhow....
