Twilight in Tampa
I’m simply posting this today because after all the black and white I’ve been posting here lately I wanted to post some nice, rich color for a change of pace.
Night Light
At night I left my curtains open, turned off all the lights in my room and let the Luxor be my night light.
Comet on the Horizon
Click on the image above for the better large view. I had an opportunity to make a photograph of comet PANSTARRS this weekend. From here it currently appears just after sunset and just above the thick atmospheric haze on the horizon. I went to the beach to get a view that would be unobstructed by trees or buildings. I took a few wide shots when I got there and got setup. I thought I would take a few closer shots of the comet but it quickly sank into the atmospheric murk above the waters of the Gulf and I decided it wasn’t worth changing lenses at that point. I did stay awhile though and made some artistic time-lapse images of the incoming tide by moonlight. There was a beach carnival going on to the north of me and later in the evening they set off some nice fireworks which I also made some images of.
Moon in the Moss
I’ve been working virtually nonstop on assignments for clients for the last few weeks and haven’t done much shooting just for myself. I stopped the other night on the way home from a location shoot and took a few minutes to just chill out and take a few snapshots of the full moon rising into a hazy night sky.
Winter Moon
I never pass up an opportunity to photograph the moon when it has a ring around it. I saw this ring last night so I grabbed a camera and strolled out into the neighborhood to find a good vantage point to shoot it. I don’t know why, but ever since I was a child I was fascinated with the phenomenon of lunar halos and now I’m happy that I have the means to capture their special beauty and share.
Wet Brick Streets
I was doing some product photography in my studio yesterday and when I walked outside to leave I was pleasantly surprised to discover that it was raining. I wound up being quite delayed in getting to my truck because I can never resist shooting in the streets outside my studio when it’s raining. I was soaked through to the skin by the time I was finally ready to drive home but I was happy to have had the chance to do some creative work just for myself for a change.
