Holiday Halo
As you can see from my recent postings I’ve been turning my camera to the night skies a lot recently. Christmas Eve was no exception, I came home from visiting with family and as I walked across my front yard I looked up and saw this wonderful halo around the moon. I have a portfolio of moon halo images that I’ve made over the years and this is another nice one for me to add to my collection.
Looking Up
For the first time in what seems like forever I took a night off from processing images for clients and spent some time in the woods. I brushed the dust off my old telescope and and really enjoyed looking at the cosmos for a change instead of looking at a computer screen. This image shows a clear sky full of stars and planets through a stand of trees that were illuminated by the flickering light of my campfire. Jupiter can be seen straight up through the trees in the constellation of Taurus.
Hello Dali
I felt it wouldn’t be inappropriate to get “artistic” with this image that I took while I was outside the Salvador Dali Museum last week.
A Light Sprinkling of Snow
With all the oppressive heat that we are suffering from around here is it any wonder that I keep daydreaming of being here?
Dreams
Dreaming of a time when my town was a sleepy little dot on the map consisting mostly of citrus groves and pastures. Progress marches on and now every square inch of the land you see in this image is covered with apartment complexes and parking lots. I happened to noticed today that there is a theme surrounding this week’s posts. It was just a happy coincidence but now I think I will stick with it through Friday just for fun.
The Road Less Traveled
In the mountains of New Mexico. I’m really looking forward to the next photography tour that I’m leading here later this year.
Burnt Woods
I’ve found myself working with patterns the last few days. This is one of the images that I have been toying with.
I Love the Woods (Infrared Image)
I especially love the woods when I have my infrared camera with me. The medium really allows me to bring out the intricate designs of the interesting trees that I so often encounter as I wander.
Paint a Picture of the Forest
Just found this pic while working on a project last night. This a rare photo that I made with an old point and shoot camera that I keep handy in my console for quick shots and fun shots. No, the effect didn’t come from Photoshop. This was from a series of shots that I made by setting a slow shutter on the camera and holding it against the window while driving fast on a winding mountain road.
Wilderness (Infrared Image)
I knew the instant I walked into this wilderness area that I wanted to shoot it in infrared. I haven’t worked in that medium for a while and the scenery here was just what I needed to inspire me again.
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.
