The vast majority of my flower photography takes place outside. Most of the time my flower photography is of a wild flower or a flower growing in a garden of some type. I do not often photograph flowers in a way where I can have much control over their presentation. This photograph is different in all those respects. In this photograph of a carnation the flower is indoors not outdoors. This flower… 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 really like Bleeding Heart flowers. They have such an interesting shape and texture to them. Especially when you look closely at the flowers you can see more subtle shapes. There are more folds and nuance to their form than is immediately obvious. I have been trying to grow a Bleeding Heart plant at my house for some time now. The Bleeding Heart plant does return every year, but it never seems… Read More

I really love these yellow flowers. They grow wild along edges of environments. Roadsides. Fields and forests. Just about anywhere. The Bird’s-Foot Treefoil usually begin to appear in the early summer. The flowers grow low along the ground. They form this spreading vine like structure. To get macro shots of these flowers I have to get low to the ground. This image is one of the more close up views I have… Read More

Over the years, one of the many unexpected joys I have found has been in photographing flowers. I really enjoy creating a close up images as I can. And lately I have really become fascinated with capturing images of flowers when they still have raindrops after a storm on them or are covered in the morning dew. I really like the reflections in the water. And I also think that the water… 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

One of my favorite holiday traditions in our area is the Parade of Lights. This holiday parade features slow moving displays featuring lights. Some displays are people with lights. Other displays in the Parade of Lights are large vehicles adorned with lights. I like to set up where I can watch the parade move down the street right across from me. I bring my tripod and set up with a wide angle… Read More

A cemetery is a nice peaceful place to walk around and be in a very specific atmosphere. Stroll around and see if you can compose features that present the right kind of feeling. Incorporate different elements from the environment into the image. Perhaps a large foreground element. Then something else large in the background. Feature the sky overhead. Photo details: Sony Alpha 6000. Sony E 20mm f/2.8. Focal length 20mm. ISO 400…. 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
