I guess Christmas is over, LOL. Sorry for the looooong delay in posting. Life happens. With still not much to say, I will refresh this site with a couple new photos I recently shot at Magnolia Plantation in Charleston, SC. Pictures of birds! Not my forte but, hey, they were willing subjects and it was fun for the moment. Shot…
That’s me. Tonight at least. I shall resume later. For now a pretty picture.
I really couldn’t think of anything to title todays post because the photo didn’t really lend itself to anything snappy. But after describing my photo and how it came about , I replaced my usual temporary filler text of “blah, blah”. Good thing. An interesting old tombstone stockpile I shot in Charleston a little while back. I find the designs, textures, and colors…
Since my Johnny Winter homage went over like a lead balloon, or Led Zeppelin as I like to say ;-), lets bring it back down into normal photography again. With a horse, of course. A simple black and white image of a horse in the stable getting ready for tour duty with a brand new wash. It looks like I…
Photographically speaking, of course. I noticed that I shoot a number of portrait oriented photos, as opposed to landscape oriented. I don’t think it’s conscience, I just shoot the subject and try to frame accordingly for the best composition. The problem with portrait orientation (which is funny because I don’t shoot any actual portraits) when viewed on a PC screen…
Hi, welcome back! I decided I am going to attempt to post every day in the month of July. Why? Well why not, I say. Seriously, I just feel the need to push myself a little and posting every day necessitates going the extra inch. What the posts will be, I don’t know yet. They may simply be photos with a…
The problem with having a photo blog is that you have to continually add photos to it. And they have to be interesting enough to keep the reader’s attention and, hopefully, make them want to keep coming back. But if you start to slack off either in frequency or content, or both, the poor readers will have no choice but to move…
If there is one thing that I struggle with when processing photos, it’s the contrast levels. I almost always add some contrast to most of my photo. Processing from RAW files that is almost inevitable, but where to stop is the hard part. Contrast is subjective and what looks good during processing may not translate well later. My monitor screen…
This is, what I believe, a sago palm. Exotic looking, by all accounts, for a Pennsylvanian and that’s why it probably caught my eye as I was walking past it during my visit to South Carolina. I was struck by the sheer size of the seed pod and the fanning of the fronds which were perfect leading lines to my main subject –…
Yes, an actual photo of a person that I don’t know! I know, rare, huh? This kind construction worker was nice enough to allow me to shoot his portrait, while he was on his break. I rarely, if ever, take people photos, especially straight on, but once in a while someone with a characteristic look pops into view. And unlike Pennsylvania, only in the…
