99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall
Glass bottles in a glass window with a perfect background. I love finding things like this with my camera.
Symme-tree
The direction of light on this tree and it’s placement with respect to the adobe wall made me stop in my tracks as I was walking by. Using adobe as a background in compositions is one of my favorite things to do.
Incoming Tide
As you can probably tell, a lot of my jobs lately have put me near the water. I’ve been happy to take advantage of some photo ops for myself after the shooting for clients is over with.
Storms
It has been so long it has rained around here. Yesterday the skies finally clouded up and storms rolled through all day and night. As you probably know by now I love to shoot in the rain so I took some time for myself between appointments to do just that. I got totally drenched and enjoyed every minute of it.
Van Gogh Tree
As soon as I saw this tree in the late afternoon light I was reminded of Vincent’s brush strokes. I processed the image accordingly.
Patient Vulture
Waiting for the mist to clear and the sun to break free from the clouds. The vultures prefer to wait until the sun can create thermal updrafts on which to circle and glide. This helps them conserve energy as they scan the wilderness for food.
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.
Moony Blues
I was out on a long hike and night descended while I was still some distance from camp. I came upon this scene without a tripod but thankfully the high ISO capability in my primary camera allowed me to get the shot without the need for stabilization.
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.
Living Color
This is a 1:1 macro photograph of a small lichen that I found growing on the trunk of a tree. I really like the range of colors that existed in the scene. The candy-cane red contrasted so nicely with the minty green parts of the lichen and also the vivid green moss on the tree trunk.
It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like…
I’m looking forward to spending time with my family this weekend.
