ISO 100 | 148mm | f 8.0 | 1/125 sec On our way home we had the extreme privilege of stopping to see Bryce Canyon.  I was unsure of what to expect.  I’d seen the Grand Canyon before and though the sight was amazing, I hadn’t been struck by “awe-inspiring beauty” or anything like that.  […]

ISO 200 | 17mm | f 8.0 | 1/640 sec A classic look at the essentially barren landscape of the desert that surrounds me on every side.  Some may find it beautiful, and in its own way, it does possess an element of beauty, but I find myself feeling less and less inspired and more […]

ISO 100 | 153mm | f 4.0 | 1/500 sec Well, one of the quirks of being out in the desert is that sometimes internet can be rather sketchy.  I went to write this post yesterday and discovered that there were no internet connections available, so for the first time since the beginning of this […]

ISO 100 | 50mm | f 2.8 | 1/1250 sec Well the desert is definitely taking its toll on my creative edge.  All around me I find nothing but dry desolation – a broad landscape of sand, cactus, brick walls, do-not-enter signs, and empty parking lots.  Nothing for miles that catches my eye’s fancy, not […]

ISO 200 | 19mm | f 4.0 | 5 sec. Had a little fun the other night taking a few shots of one of the pool tables here at the RV park where we’re staying.  I shot both of these pictures at around 11:00 at night with the lights out, so what you see in […]

ISO 100 | 39mm | f 5.6 | 1/160 sec The desert tends to make one’s inspiration run dry.  Not a whole lot to photograph out here but cactus and shrub-brush.  I did happen upon a junk pile (a real inspiring find) and came across some interesting objects.  If nothing else, I ended up with […]

ISO 800 | 50mm | f 2.8 | 1/250 sec Wanted to challenge myself with something a little different this week.  I’ve seen examples before of double-exposures which combine humanity and nature together in one seamless image (my images presented here are not really all that unique).  However, I wanted first of all to see […]

ISO 200 | 50mm | f 4.0 | 1/500 sec The rain had been coming down in torrents all day.  Patiently he peered out the window, eagerly anticipating the moment when the storm would let up.  He had been at his post since breakfast, refusing to leave his vantage point lest the storm should retire […]

ISO 100 | 50mm | f 8.0 | 1/250 sec I’ve had this image stuck in my head for several months now.  Ever since the leaves started falling I wanted to see if I could get an image of a waterdroplet splash in a puddle inside a leaf.  I guess getting into this macro stuff […]

ISO 100 | 85mm | f 8.0 | 1/250 sec Busted out my strobes this week and did some experimenting with some different lighting techniques.  I originally did this shoot so that I would have some images to add to my stock-photography collection, but I had some images from the shoot that I just had […]
