A few images from today...

One of my favorites from a shoot today...
"Sepia Sunset" - Spring has come and the new growth reflect infrared light. This tree has been struck by lightning and continues to reach to the sky. I found the detail to be mesmerizing.
Infrared, converted to b&w, sepia tinted.

"Blue Skies"
Spring has come and the new growth reflect infrared light. This is a complex composition but I enjoy it. I wanted three strong components: curvature of the earth/sky, strong tree in silhouette, and the setting sun. Hope you enjoy.
Color Infrared.

Sun and Snow

Sun & Snow
This is a winter scene not too far from my home. We received 6" of snow the day before, so I carefully positioned myself on a ridge to get this shot with all of the elements. If you study the image, you'll understand just how bright this area was -- blinding, to be more accurate. You can see how the branches were backlit from all the snow. I should have wore sunglasses!

This is an infrared color image.

Hope you enjoy.

Lake Beaverfork sunset

Here's a panorama sunset of Lake Beaverfork from yesterday. This view is approx. 160-degrees. Hope you enjoy...

A few random images from 2007...

The all-natural habitat can be visually interesting when you're amidst it in life-size dimensions.



This 'posing' Mantis was as mesmerized as I was. It posed perfectly for this image, of which I'm still amazed. The juxtaposition of its legs are almost perfect. Hope you enjoy.



Another of which is purely natural. The 'rays of light' are actually out-of-focus blades of grass. The background is actually the sky. I did spend a few extra seconds composing just the right angle to get the composition I wanted. This could easily be a still frame from a sci-fi movie. Hope you enjoy.

Fog

Here are a few images from this week, while I was out in the fog, just before nightfall. Hope you enjoy...


Something about this bridge caught my attention. The mix of traffic, fog and diminishing light. The "windows" of light under the bridge form a visual interest that intrigued me.

Nature images from the weekend...

Here are a few images from this past weekend. Hope you enjoy.

Enter the New Year!

As the New Year enters, it's time to shed the old and welcome the new.
Here are a few images from today as I explored. These are all infrared and were taken during late afternoon as the sun began to reach closer to the horizon.
Hope you enjoy.
