One photo a day challenge: Day 304. I have been fortunate to have many plants that have been surviving well into fall now. These plants are outside on my deck. 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 photo a day challenge: Day 303. It is always nice to photograph different seasonal things. Subjects that can only be photographed at certain times of years. 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. One lightbulb in focus in the foreground and then other blubs out of focus in the background are great… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 302. Working with more autumn themed subjects. Seasonal colors. A little more warm tones today. Corn Cob. Red seasonally colored kernels. I really like all the subtle shades of red along the ear of corn. Photographed with a shallow depth of field using my macro lens. Lit from one side with my Lume Cube lights.

One photo a day challenge: Day 301. In addition tot he white background I used in yesterdays photo, I also now have a black background. It is perfect for table top photography. 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. Show the texture and the shades of color. Use… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 300. More work with new photography tools today. Always fun when new photography items arrive in the mail. Today was the first run working with the V Flats World white background. These tools are going to be very useful in working with indoor photography subjects. This clean white background worked perfect to complement the browns of the desk and the oranges and yellows of the gourd…. Read More

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 298. Today was a good day to work with my photography table gain. Instead of working with many items, today I selected one object to photogrpah. I chose this tiny little green pumpkin with orange spots. I shot a bunch of different angles and perspectives. Changing up my light a little bit from time to time. I didn’t try anything too extreme. The goal was to… 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

One photo a day challenge: Day 296. Had a fun day birding at one of my favorite locations, Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge. It was a great day for birding. Our first lap around the wildlife drive was full of birds. Lots of waterfowl. A surprising number of Bald Eagle sightings. We had at least 6 Bald Eagle sightings. I love all the variety of ducks especially all the Northern Pintails we saw…. Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 295. I was looking for some fall colors. Unfortunately the colors around my area right now are kinda drab. It is actually hard to find bright yellow, oranges, and reds on the trees or even on the ground. But I did find some cool bright colors. Be open to something other than what you are looking for in photogrpahy. It is all out there if you… Read More
