Brightly colored flower blossom. Close up. It almost looks like a star to me. The center of the flower blossom. Color radiating out from there. The color is most intense in the center. As the streaks of color emanate farther from the center they lose their intensity. The same way the light from a star does. Photo details: Nikon D300. Nikon 60mm f/2.8. Focal length 60mm. ISO 400. 1/2000 sec. f/3.8. Thank… Read More

Daisies are a pretty common wildflower in our area. As with most of my flower photography I like to try to get a close up look at the flowers. Trying to create an image that shows the flower in a different way. One of the cool things about taking a closer than normal look a t a flower is that sometimes you find a surprise. I never would have seen this tiny… Read More

I haven’t spent a ton of time photographing Mushrooms and other Fungi. I want to work with them as subjects more. They are very interesting to me as a part of nature and as photography subjects. The work I have done with them so far has turned out well enough. I am not sure that I am particularly satisfied with how I have been incorporating them into the style of photography I… Read More

Hedge Bindweed Looking for a subtly beautiful flower to photograph? Look down. Follow the ground. It might be right next to your foot. The Hedge Bindweed grows like a vine along the ground. Spreading out amongst the other foliage. The flowers can pop up anywhere there is available space. At the edge of a yard or along a river. I love how the light is striking this one flower and the rest… Read More

I love these tall stalks of wildflowers that pop up everywhere in the spring. I like trying to isolate a single flower or one cluster of flowers in an image. The flowers are in the process of fully blooming on this cluster of the Dames Rocket. The way the flowers are all a slightly different shade of purple as each individual blossom unfurls and develops. This helps give the photo a little… Read More

Crown Vetch are pretty incredible flowers in my opinion. Not flashy or showy. But they take advantage of whatever is left to them. Edges of roadside. Unmown sections of yard. Unmaintained river banks. I think these flowers are beautiful, but most people probably consider them a weed because they just crop up wherever a space is left unattended. I love that about them. They grow to fit the environment. I try to… Read More

Tiny little flowers. They can be so interesting. These Bluets sometimes seem to just pop up through the ground at random. There are some areas where they push up through the ground one flower her and one flower there. Scattered in a field. Other times the Bluets appear in the landscape in little clusters as featured in this photograph. Photo details: Nikon D300. Nikon 300mm f/4. Focal length 420mm. ISO 400. 1/500… Read More

I love exploring landscapes. The Adirondack Mountain region of New York is a great place to do that. This is a photo from Buttermilk Falls. I like this image because the actual falls of Buttermilk Falls plays a minor role in the composition. Working my way through the landscape to show the flow of water away from the falls and through the woods. The waterfall itself is only visible among the trees… Read More

The motion of the river far below. Combined with the motion of the leaves blowing in the wind up high. Looking down into the river valley at Letchworth State Park. I like how the two different types of motion are combined in this photo. Photo details: Nikon D300S. Tamron 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3. Focal length 18mm. ISO 125. 5.0 sec. f/13. Thank you for joining me on the blog today. See more photos of… Read More

During one camping trip I was inspired to try and capture an image different than normal for me. I sat by the fire watching it crackle. Noticing the light drain from the sky. Seeing the sparks of light fly up from the fire and into the sky. I wanted to try to capture an image that would show a combination of campsite features. The fading light in the night sky. Trees in… Read More
