Flower Power

I was doing some work around the house this weekend and noticed that a couple of the orchids that sit out on the porch were blooming nicely. I decided to take short break from chores and take a few shots. It was nice diversion for a bit of time. I knew if I didn’t make myself take the time while I was thinking about it I probably wouldn’t think about it again until who knows when. My luck, by the time I would remember the flowers would be gone.


Majesty of Nature vs Monuments of Man

Nature wins that contest every time.


Watercolor Sky

I was in a bit of an artistic mood this weekend and this image provided a nice canvas for me to work with. The image was dark and moody with storm clouds to begin with so I simply built upon what was there as I worked with it.


Hanging in There

Although this was actually rather monochromatic and drab when I photographed it a while back I had a more vibrant presentation in mind. I finally took a few minutes to work on it and realize my pre-visualization.


Continuity

Even when photographing animals I’m looking for opportunities to render something artistic with my lens. It doesn’t always work out but I’m happy when it does.


Art Deco Abstract

This diner in St Augustine was perfect for an exercise in abstraction.


It’s Been Awhile

I haven’t worked up an artistic black and white image for a long time. I went out shooting for myself for a change last week and this is one of the images I came up with.
