… my new Canon 5D Mark II and me.
The new camera arrived yesterday (purchased from Adorama – see affiliate ad on left).
I won’t bore you with the details but it was a long and winding road that brought me to this point. But as they [...]
I think I will end this series of images made during our recent trip to Longwood Gardens (PA) with one that continues to bring a smile to my face every time I look at it. Yes, the kids did appear. And yes, they had mom and dad in tow. It was time to break out [...]
Not a whole lot to say here. Most of the morning, I carried two cameras ready to go. One was the 50D with the 24-70 and the other was the 30D with the Lensbaby. I added the soft focus optic for this image. Processing was done with Nik filters – Viveza 2 to adjust brightness, [...]
This is another image from our weekend trip to Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, PA. As I said in my previous post, what I had hoped would be a quiet winter morning in the Conservatory (like we had spent there last year) quickly [...]
Barb and I spent a most interesting day at Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, PA yesterday. It is always nice to spend a winter day within the warm confines of the conservatory. This is pretty much the middle of their orchid exhibit. So between the orchids and everything else, there is really a lot to [...]
I was lamenting about today’s snowfall (the second big storm in four days) over on Facebook and then decided I needed to think Spring. So I went back into my wildflower images from early last Spring and came up with one of my favorites, the simple Trout Lily, to reprise. I did rework it a [...]

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 [...]
Last winter I was working on a series of rose images in which I tried to capture the emotions/feelings connoted by different color roses. A red rose connotes passion/love while a white rose connotes innocence/purity. Last year’s image were, for the most part, macro/close-up images of single roses.
While I was at the market yesterday (remember [...]

Another Aster from my early Sunday morning walk along my local creek. In amongst the many Calico Asters along the path, I would spot a Heath Aster every now and then. I decided that with the Heath Asters I would focus in on a single flower [...]

It doesn’t happen often but I am bumping one Calico Asters image off the bottom of page 1 on to page 2 by adding another new Calico Asters image to the top of page 1. Oh well, such is life.
Not a whole lot to say here with [...]
