"Trees and Ghosts I"...

There's something mesmerizing about the tree in the center. The branches seems to spin outward from the center. As I was carefully photographing this panorama, a Ring-billed Gull flew across my frame.

"Vintage Nikon"...

Here's a photograph I created from a recent portrait session with Melissa.  My intent was to give this a timeless feel, almost as if this were a vintage Nikon advertisement.

Lunar Eclipse, 2025

 Unfortunately, we had a very cloudy night for the eclipse, so I wasn't able to get sharp photos of the moon in the conditions.
Lunar eclipse on a cloudy night, March 2025.  This was just as totality began, as you can see the bright rim light at the top fading away.
