“Waves of Color” was created shortly after arriving at Great Smoky Mountain National Park in Tennessee today. I’m here with fellow Baltimore Camera Club Members Karen and Chuck. After the nine hour drive to get here (Chuck Drove) it felt great to get out and take some shots. Good company and great scenery should make […]
Ruffles is a shot of a Cattleya Orchid taken using a 180mm macro lens with a 25mm extension tube and Live View. I always enjoy looking for abstract images to shoot but in general haven’t had much success finding them in flowers. This is at least in part due to the fact that making a […]
Big Dark Cloud was taken at the Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge Nov 27th 2009. Karen, Annette, Chuck and myself went to Bombay Hook in search of Snow Geese. 2009 didn’t reward us with the massive number of Snow Geese we witnessed and photographed in 2008, but we certainly had dramatic skies! I feel tremendously […]
“3 Doors 1 Drawer” is another from the portfolio ” Beautiful Decay“. It’s been processed as a color image and black and white. I can’t say for sure which one I like best. Take a look, let me know what you think. I’d be grateful for anyone who would take a moment to register, sign […]
While some may find this scene decrepit, I consider it “Beautiful Decay” . The textures and colors accentuated by the side light create an image that I like a lot. Natures forces crafted the pallet used here. Water and sun have transformed an ordinary inside scene into one with a much greater depth of texture and color. […]
“Sick” is a an unknown story. It is disturbing rendition of a catfish found on the bank of the Susquehanna River in Susquehanna St. Park. The location is one frequented by fishermen and is likely the source of this dead and frozen catfish. It is hard to imaging though that the catch would be left […]
Look one direction and the scene “Wonderland Beach” presents itself and in the other “Ominous“ The drama at Wonderland was what nature provided, and the drama of photographer working franticly. Often the opportunity nature provides is fleeting and working the scene quickly while the best conditions exist is intense. Opportunities like this challenge your skill […]
“Ominous” was taken in Wonderland, part of Acadia National Park, fall 2009. You may not be able to tell from this photo but I was there in search of fall colors. I was happy to have a bit of “bad” weather while there. Bad weather provides opportunities to make great pictures. As a photographer being […]
If you’ve taken a look through my galleries you’ll see that I like to make images of a broad range of subjects. One of the most common themes used in them is the use of detail. Detail by itself doesn’t make an image, other compositional tools need to be used as well. In “Breaker […]
Several weeks ago I went to Susquehanna St. Park in search of ice with Annette and Steve from the Baltimore Camera Club. As is often the case I didn’t find quite what I hoping to when we got there. The large patch of ice that was there before had melted and left leaves with dried […]
