One photo a day challenge: Day 35. Today I went for a run for the first time in a little over a week. It seemed like the perfect time to put together two newer pieces of gear for a test run and see if they would really work the way I was hoping. Unfortunately things did not work out quite the way I had hoped. The gear didn’t quite mesh with my… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 31. Global pandemic lead to quarantine. Everyone being home lead to people finding new things to do with their time. People engaging in activities maybe they thought they never would otherwise. People have been finding new and creative ways to spend their time. New and creative ways to get in touch with themselves. One way people find meaning is through cooking. IT seems there was a… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 28. Today I am literally just standing in my room and looking around. Looking for that next photographic subject. Letting my eyes wander. Letting my mind be free. I really had no idea of what I wanted to photograph today. I went into my office with no intention other than to take a photograph. A photograph of….something. Tonight I had no preconceived notions of what I… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 27 I really enjoy playing with depth of field. And Color. And patterns. Sometimes it is really satisfying when I can take an average subject and turn it into something more abstract. Today I turned my attention to my mask that I wear running when needed. My Boco Gear, Performance X Mask was todays subject. If you’ve got to wear a mask better to make it… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 25. As I mentioned in previous posts, I bought a flower to use for my indoor photography. I really enjoy photographing flowers and that is one down side to living in the northeast. Flowers are only in bloom from mid April to Mid fall generally. To make up for not having them to photograph in the wild I will occasionally buy flowers to photograph indoors. I… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 21. I had my camera with me all day today. It was cloudy and gloomy all day. I just wanted to have sunlight for a chance at a nice sunlit photo for just a few minutes. It is getting a little frustrating to never have good light for the type of photographs I would like to make. I kept waiting for the sun to emerge from… Read More

One Photo A Day Challenge: Day 6 At least in the beginning of this challenge I am trying to have each photo be a different subject. I really like using my macro lens because it helps me lean into being more creative with my photography. And using the Lume Cube lights allows for more interesting lighting. I really wasn’t sure what I was going to photograph today. I like the challenge of… Read More

Day 3 of the one photo a day challenge. Today I turned my attention to one of the succulent plants I have been growing over the last few years. For the last few years I have been trying to keep plants alive for more than one year. I have been putting them outside in warmer seasons and bringing them inside in colder seasons. This succulent plant has been one of the ones… Read More

Last time I talked about how I use the Nikon 300mm lens in my photography. (Photo Gear | 300mm | New York) While I love using the long lens to photograph wildlife from a distance. This time around I am going to swing to the opposite end of the spectrum. I want to talk about how I get close up and personal with subjects. Some of my favorite Subjects are flowers and… Read More
