Captured while waiting out the rain under the pier. It didn't stop... Not complaining though, if not for the rain, I never would have spotted this image.
Hope everyone is having a great week, thanks so much for viewing! :)
Playing with items found in my kitchen is a wonderful way to dive into macro photography. I found myself thinking about the lyrics of the song, America the Beautiful. This is my version of purple mountain majesties, with a splash of pink and yellow. "The force that propels the human spirit on the clear way forward and upward is the abstract spirit."

I'm posting three other gull pics that I took yesterday, I don't want to bore you, but after struggling so long to capture the elusive beauty of gulls in flight, I was very heartened to find I'm now beginning to get some results!! I had to take 100 shots to get these 4 though!! This picture is of the same gull as in "Seagull Sortie" taken a second or so earlier.
Photographers on stage at graduation from The Haas School of Business at UC, Berkeley the day my daughter received her MBA.
I was delighted to have Lisa, red stilletto and family stay with me over New Year, it was wonderful to bring in 2021 with them.
Many thanks for your visits, kind comments and faves, very much appreciated.

Captured in the Hungerford Nature reserve at sunrise. Had to set up my tripod in the river (it is quite shallow) to capture this, much to the bewiderment of passing dog walkers. Used an ND 8 filter to capture the movment of the water. Post processing involved exposure blending in photoshop.
I captured this rare visitor to Michigan last Saturday evening. I had heard a bunch of rumbling while I was at work that one had showed up at the beach in one of our local metro parks. When I got off work, me and my wife went to mass and after words headed over to the park. We located him out on the beach. He allowed me to photograph him without being spooked for a little bit. I spent about 10 min rattling off a bunch of images and then left him alone. Figured he needed some food and rest for the rest of his journey.
He was standing just on shore when this little wave came in and splashed off of him.
(Catching up as I been working 65+ hours a week for a while now)
As one rounds the sharp corner of a bend, this stretch of land progressively appears. At this time in the evening, reflections are prominent and even. The sky is almost the same blue as the water, and a single bright spot of light remains on a distant hill.
Soon this will be gone, so off to a safe pullout goes the car, Out I fly with tripod and camera in hand. The setup is fast with all settings predetermined. One shot happens, histograms are checked, adjustments are made, and one more chance to capture the moment. Then, the light on the far hill is gone, and it all fades into darkness.

My third annual attempt to capture a fuchsia.
This is getting closer to where I wanted to be with this subject. It's still not exactly what I wanted, but maybe I'll get another chance this year :). The colors of this flower are so vivid and the curves of the shape are so delicate that it's worth the extra effort.
As with many of my flower macros, this was shot on a light table and was illuminated from behind.
This photo is a depth stack of 6 separate images, each of which focuses at a slightly different distance. I was shooting at f/32 to get maximum depth of field, but even then, when the nearest element was in focus, the farthest was out of focus and vice versa. The solution is to shoot multiple images at different focal lengths and then composite them in a Photoshop depth stack.
This photograph was taken at dawn this morning at Lower Seletar Reservoir looking towards Orchid Country Club and Heritage Bridge (on the right).
This photograph captured the progressively illuminated and drifting clouds in the dawn sky and the Bridge. The mirror-like surface of the reservoir provided an enchanting view of the serene landscape.
Best wishes for a wonderful weekend!!
