The ebb and flow of our photographic lives always seems to have us moving from subject to subject, from technique to technique, from favorite lens to favorite lens as time moves incessantly forward. The past couple of years (prior to this one) I tended to do a lot more macro and flower photography. This year [...]
I was contemplating what, from this weekend, I wanted to add to my blog. After thinking about it a while, I concluded why not take you through the entire weekend. So let’s start at the beginning, Saturday morning.
Saturday more was a “late” start for us. We were up at 0530 and out of the house [...]
Yesterday I was up at 0400 and out of the house by 0420 in search of a sunrise to shoot. When looking for as close to sure thing as I can find, I always seem to return to the marina at Lake Nockamixon (Nockamixon State Park, Bucks County, PA). And yesterday was no exception. I [...]
This series, well it’s only two images, is from an evening walk along the Delaware Canal towpath (Delaware Canal State Park, PA) which, for much of its length, runs along a narrow spit of land between the canal and the Delaware River. I have often joked that it is a state park that is nearly [...]
As many of you already know, almost every time I wander out with my camera I end up tacking on (which isn’t really the right word since it makes it sound like an afterthought and it isn’t; it’s pre-planned) some shots that are meant to push the boundaries of my photography. In fact as I [...]
I had a great weekend of shooting all within one hour of home. Friday was the day to visit Lake Galena in Peace Valley Park (Bucks County, PA) for sunrise. Saturday, my wife and I headed for the Delaware Water Gap NRA for sunrise and a morning of shooting and hiking. Sunday, being Easter, was [...]
This is another 10-image multiple exposure image that I made recently.
I have been giving multiple exposures, pans, digital sandwiches, etc. a lot of thought lately, particularly after reading about some different techniques in a book entitled Photo Impressionism and the Subjective Image by Freeman Patterson and Andre Gallant. I would highly recommend the book if [...]
(Vertical Pan; 1.0 sec @ f/14; ISO 100; 0 EV; FL 70mm w/ Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L and my 5D Mark II)
There was a short break in the rains this morning so we headed out in search of something to photograph. I followed the fog to the top of South Mountain and Lehigh University’s Mountaintop Campus. [...]
If you’ve come via the home page or wandered through the galleries, you may have seen these images before even though they are barely 24 hours old. I took some time yesterday and worked on making images of the Gerbera that were different from what I often see and interesting to me from a compositional [...]

(0.8 sec @ f/22; ISO 100; -1EV)
These were the only blurs that I did during our recent (weekend past) trip to Sandy Hook, NJ. The layers of water/ice followed by reeds followed by more water/ice and more reeds before finally reaching the sky just seemed to beg for [...]
