Happy to report that one of my images “Sunrise” was selected to appear in the Lenswork book “Light, Glorious Light”. An unusual image for me as I normally don’t have color photos published, let alone a landscape. The majority of my published work is in monochrome and my subject matter is usually more detail oriented. I shot this image over ten…
I am happy to announce that my photograph “Stare Tactic” won a Silver Award in the 2023 in the PX3 Le Prix de la Photographie de Paris in the nature category. This shot was unusual for me as it was in color ( I rarely enter color images in competitions) and it is of a bird (I am far from…
Just though I would post a roundup of some of my autumn themed photos from this year. Not the most beautiful shots but one or two might be good enough for a bank calendar! Nothing special location-wise. I just shot mainly around some local parks. Gear was either my Fujifilm XT3 or Leica M9. Just click on a pic to…
My wife and I made the half-hour trip to a nearby park to stretch our legs a bit and enjoy some nice spring weather. It was nice getting away from our neighborhood (which isn’t so nice) to a pleasant place to walk around. Oglebay Park is situated in Wheeling, West Virginia and covers quite a few acres. Since they usually…
I recently put a book of photographs together that is now available on Blurb. The book is a group of photographs of….wait for it….doors. Yes, Doors. Not your fancy old European doors. Not even some colorful Mexican or Caribbean doors. Nope, just good old fashioned normal doors. Well, normal to a degree. I did originally take the photos because I…
I had some free time the other day after an appointment and thought it would be nice to swing by a local park to find some photo opportunities. I haven’t been able to get out much lately, pandemic protocols aside, and I really wanted to stretch my legs and have some creative time. Being that it was a cloudy, cold…
I headed out to a nearby park to attempt some photography of details of nature. The bulk of the fall color had already passed peak and I wasn’t expecting much in the way of color, so I had black and white on my mind. Maybe some textures of dead leaves or a nice bare tree. Probably the one drawback was…
In this day of whiz-bang do everything cameras it is almost impossible to not be able to take any shot you want. Super intelligent auto focus settings can track whatever you please. Vari-angle touch screen LCD’s enable shooting from just about any angle. High Dynamic Range settings, in-camera focus stacking, and pixel shifting for increased resolution leave your imagination free…
With my veeeerrrry long time away from this blog I have been trying hard (OK, not that hard) to find some worthy shots to post. I know I make excuses all of the time about my lack of input but since my day job has been busier than ever and coupled with a lack of travel outside of my…
I know, I have been a lazy poster. I do have to thank my own self for not even remembering I even have this blog. As I have noted in the past, job one for owning a blog is content, content, content. Without continuing content you cannot expect to get readers. Heck, my own motto in the past was, “If…
