The Best Camera to Use…
…is any one you can get your hands on when a picture presents itself. In this case – my cell phone.
Tampa Bay Twilight
It’s hard to pass up a nice sunset when you have a camera handy. It’s a subject that never gets old. This was the view from the back yard of one of the homes I was photographing recently.
Mountain Sunset
As I continue to scan some of my old slides to present here in my journal I’ve come to realize that I miss the rich, saturated colors that I could get by deliberately underexposing Ektachrome film. With the right subject matter, a light to moderately underexposed slide looked terrific right out of the camera. No processing software necessary, just shine some light through it and enjoy.
Another Wedding
I photographed another wedding on Friday so I decided to post a set of images from the event here today.
Fire in the Sky
This valley inside an ancient volcanic caldera produces some spectacular sunsets but I must say this is one of the better sky shows that I have been treated to there. Click on it to view a larger version.
Desolate Sunset
I’m finally shooting in New Mexico again and so far it’s been a terrific trip. This is from the first evening out here. After arriving on the plane and getting settled in I took my group out to the Ojito Wilderness for a sunset shoot. I climbed to the top of a very tall clay mound in search of a good vantage point to shoot the sunset and encountered this scene as I approached the summit. Lucky me.
Sandia Sunset
Sandia Mountain gets it’s name from turning the color of a watermelon at sunset. This is a view of the rugged side of the mountain from the far bank of the Rio Grande.
Sunset View
Since I posted a shot of the exterior of this beach cottage the other day I figured I may as well show a bit of the interior too.
At the Finish Line
I was on the shoreline at sunset the other evening as the sailboats participating in a regatta were crossing the finish line. The setting sun illuminated the scene with a wonderful warm glow as I photographed the event.
Safe Harbor
A serene evening scene in St. Augustine. (I like to make rhymes at times with captions of mine.)
Florida Prairie Sunset
I just got back from spending some time in the wilderness away from everything including cell phone service, the internet, electricity, plumbing, etc. Nothing but nature and my cameras to amuse myself with. The first evening there I hiked out into a large prairie area at sunset and captured this lovely subdued sky scene before returning to camp.
