Morning Serenity
The deep quiet of the predawn wilderness was very calming as I walked through the mist with my camera in search of scenes like this.
Lunar Halo
I always seem to have good luck with respect to photographing moon rings when I spend time in the wilderness. This one was visible in varying intensities for about 2 hours one evening. I trekked about in the dark woods with a tripod during that time looking for different perspectives while listening to the owls and coyotes around me.
Florida Prairie Sunset
I just got back from spending some time in the wilderness away from everything including cell phone service, the internet, electricity, plumbing, etc. Nothing but nature and my cameras to amuse myself with. The first evening there I hiked out into a large prairie area at sunset and captured this lovely subdued sky scene before returning to camp.
Salt Marsh
The sun had been behind thin clouds most of the day, casting an uninspiring pale light on things. Late in the day though the clouds began to break apart and the light became beautiful for a short time. I was lucky enough to be in a great location when it happened.
December Evening
On Monday afternoon I was out on a ranch photographing an equestrian event. I shot this as I was bumping along across the fields in the back of a pickup truck after the event had ended. It wasn’t really this dark when I shot it but I deliberately underexposed the scene to bring out the colors and the detail in the sky. I also needed the high shutter speed that created the underexposure to counteract the bumpy ride.
A Ship on the Horizon
I stayed at the beach until it was dark but I kept taking lengthy time exposures that gave a surreal, dreamy look to the scene.
