And they are just getting absolutely pounded here in upstate New York right now. So much rain. However, it has finally stopped raining. I thought this was a great opportunity to get outside and photograph these plants before they are gone. I… Read More

One such subject can be Christmas lights. I enjoy photographing different types of holiday light displays. I often like to get close up looks at bulbs.

Using the black background. How to make it work? Pair it with a dark subject with bright highlights. That should make things stand out. Light it well with Lume Cube lights.

One photo a day challenge: Day 299. It is really fascinating how new interests develop. Slowly over time. Little by little. Give yourself a new challenge. Grow new interests. I never thought I would enjoy photographing, for lack of a better term, still life. Even more so, creating these photographs in a sterile, indoor, studio like set up. I always considered myself and outdoor nature photography in everything I did. But with… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 297. I have done more indoor photography this past year than ever before. So I have decided to work towards enhancing my ability to do so. I bought a plexiglass table to place objects I am photographing on. This provides a nice clean background and foreground for objects. Then I can also do more with my lighting. I can shine light up through the bottom of… Read More

I have been fascinated with tree trunk textures lately. Then I saw… Read More

The sound drew me out to investigate. Never did see whatever was making all the noise. But I was drawn into the multitude of sights along the forest floor. I started looking for interesting leaves to photograph. It… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 292. I like the challenge of taking a relatively common item and photographing it so close up that is almost become completely abstract. Photograph an object in a way that it becomes almost unrecognizable as what it really is. I am trying to photograph items that might seem common or boring in a way that they become interesting once again. Trying to bring new life to… Read More

There are lots of nature related items that are commonly used for decorations in the fall. I recently picked up several items to experiment with for my photography. I just never committed to do it.

One photo a day challenge: Day 286. In photography things don’t always go to plan. Especially in photographing any type of wildlife. There is the simple fact that sometimes despite any planning your planned subject just doesn’t show up. But sometimes things work out. Today while outside mowing the lawn I saw a praying mantis. I stopped and photographed it with my Samsung S21 Ultra. The mantis did not seem to be… Read More
