I wonder... if all herons are equally proficient in their catching skills...

This Trumpeter Swan and her mate, found the perfect secluded pond to spend the summer and raise their babies.. The ice was still going off when I snapped this shot - but she was floating serenely in the open water on the opposite shore.

(Explored)

The clouds roll away and the snow recedes from the banks of the Hudson River, a sign that Sping is arriving soon.

The original, from which this image evolved, is a snapshot of an elderly black man playing his sax sitting on a small chair against the wall of an entrance to the St. Lawrence Market in downtown Toronto, Canada, last summer. The shot isn't much, quality wise, but I remembered why I kept it... it was the sound, the vibe the sax was creating. Totally wrong for two o'clock in the afternoon and more fitting for a late night in a smoky bar where you close your eyes and let the sound of the blues become personal. In this image the eyes set the mood the hands will deliver to create an atmosphere no doubt the player has already reached.

Earthquake!

A photograph of a wonderful Orchid, modified with a variety of digital filters to produce this "artistic" or "impressionistic" image.

I made - and then manipulated - this shot nearly ten years ago, but resisted posting to Flickr because it generally doesn't fit with the body of work here. Most of my work is in focus, with attention paid to detail. Not much detail to be found here!

I think this image is closer to cave paintings than 21st Century photography. Well... that was my intent. For the next week or so I'm going to be posting shots that break the mold, crack the cosmic egg, fly in the face of everything I used to teach when I taught nature and wildlife photography. They'll either work for you or they won't.

I knew that with each of these attempts I was risking failure, and that to fail is a good thing. If we don't shoot a lot of really bad stuff, we probably aren't trying hard enough to push through and past our limitations. When I used to teach photography, sometimes I would insist on seeing bad photos from my students. This was a way of getting them more deeply into process without worrying about trying to be perfect; seeing comes before technique. Let's see what you can see today! And because I always (or usually) take my own advice... here are some results that I do like from all of my shoving and thrashing inside the box over the years. Gathered together so they won't seem out of place. Early in the new year I'll return to my wildlife ways. Promise. For now, a little fun.

I wanted to bring this sequence of 4 shots together for a while now.

It was when we had the big surf down on the Gold coast.

A lot of people had fun with the huge waves where breaking over the walkways around Snapper rocks, amongst that was this mother with her little son, which got completely submerged by the wave.

He came out of it laughing and safe.

Hello everyone!

Just bought a Nikon D800 to get into full frame (Thanks Phil for the advise).

Went into the city last night to try it out for the first time.

Brisbane's new river walk is now open and offers a lot of new views of the bridge and city.

The lights on the bridge are constantly changing colour and they are programmable by the public at the moment. So it is a bit tricky to get a good image without a lot of noise.

Here my first go with the D800. Many more to follow hopefully.

More about the river walk here: www.mustdobrisbane.com/outdoors-walks-river/brisbane-rive...

Hope you like it and thanks for looking

I thought I have another go at this shot of the Sydney Harbour bridge.

Always thought there is something missing to get that punch I wanted.

After many hours in CS6 I finally like it.

Note the reflection is added in Photoshop as you can see on the original post from June.

Constructive criticism would be good here, as I am tiring to improve.

Thanks for looking

The tiling is a background I created, one tile at a time. I layered the tile background and eye image to generate the effect you see. It was a fun effort. I hope you like it.
