Creativity and the creative process itself are things that many have sought to explain. During the course of my undergraduate and graduate education which was in psychology, I crossed paths many times with those much more learned and much more famous that me who wrote volumes on the creative process. But sometimes it is the [...]

Cold (17F), blustery (20-30 mph winds) but we decided to go out this morning anyway. Admittedly most of the morning was spent in the car driving from site to site looking for birds for my wife (we found the albino hawk she wanted to see) and anything for me to shoot. After two hours, I [...] These are two more images from last Sunday morning’s walk in Jacobsburg State Park (PA). Very early in our walk along the Henry’s Woods Trail, we hit an area where every tree trunk was covered by either lush, bright green moss or scaly, lighter green lichens. I couldn’t resist the photo opportunity so I took [...] With the holiday and the nasty weather, most of this weekend blew by without any opportunity to get out and make some images. So when I woke up this morning around 0400, looked out the front door and saw stars in the sky; I knew we just had to get out somewhere for sunrise. Being [...] Well it’s 0643 on Saturday morning and we are still waiting on the much anticipated pre-holiday snowstorm. Yesterday, I decided to take a half day of PTO (Personal Time Off) and go out in search of some images to make. As I was driving home from the office, I reviewed the options in my head [...] My wife and I went out a bit just before sunset yesterday. She went in search of Piliated Woodpeckers and Great Horned Owls and I went in search of some interesting photo opportunities. She found the Piliateds and we heard the Owls. And I found some interesting compositional opportunities for vertical pans/in-camera motion blurs. The first image [...] Never forget that “image” forms the root of “imagination”. Another toy for my bag. Another kind of image to look at. Another opportunity to use our imagination in composing the image, making the image, processing the image and looking at the image. The fisheye optic for my Lensbaby Composer arrived on Wednesday and I couldn’t wait to [...] (1/1600 sec @ f/5.6; ISO 100; -1/3 EV; Sunny WB) Another bit of experimenting with the Lensbaby. Just wait until I get the Fisheye optic which should arrive today or tomorrow! This is another image made after the weekend snowfall but later in the morning than the previous two blog postings (which were made at sunrise). I [...] right around sunrise. So we had a change of plans. We were going into NYC today. Nothing special. Walk around a bit. Visit B&H. Pick up a couple of small things. Window shop. Visit Rockefeller Center. Have lunch. Stuff like that. Barb wasn’t overly excited about going. Weather tanked. And I could get the Fisheye optic [...] I got out for a short time this morning and continued to experiment with motion blurs and multiple exposures. I have to admit that the more I experiment with these techniques the more I am liking the results. Anyway, here are two examples. First the straight, single image vertical pan/motion blur image made with my Canon [...] |
