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 [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]

The title pretty much says it all. My wife and I went for a short walk along our local creek this afternoon. I was looking for an opportunity to play with the Lensbaby Composer and hopefully let the creative juices flow a bit. Other than the creek itself, [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
