I was gonna delete this....

A blended long and fast exposure, landscape image of Daisies growing on the cliffs of Portknockie in Morayshire, Scotland.

This was a concept I had been meaning to try out for a while that didn't entirely work out. It is a blend of a fast exposure for the flowers and long exposure for the background. I think the idea can work but I just need to figure out how to pull it off. I will just have to keep trying. :-)

Playing with a BW conversion and ended up being drawn to this....Comments will be very helpful.....

Tulip bulb begins to unfurl in May 2014 at our home in Alaska. Despite having the warmest past three months on record, we have only small signs of spring.

Testing out a new light painting tool I've made, just in the early stages, should be doing something good with it soon.

Some amazing old world charm architecture can be found at The Canadian Expermental Farm here smack in the middle of Ottawa, Canada! The green dome is the observatory.

A little experimentation in Silver Efex Pro 2 with this sunset that didn't have great color, but did have some interesting forms, and a semi-cooperative sailboat to provide some foreground interest and depth perspective.

Well this shot of a circular looking park or area (not sure how to really describe this) is a bit of an experiment with some new post-processing styles I am currently trying out, and quite different from the usual styles that I am used to.

Not sure how the response would be, but do let me know if anything looks out of place or unnatural. Note the small kid on a tricycle in the shot.

A foggy afternoon had presented itself, and needed to be photographed.

My first attempt at “Art from a blank canvas”. I purchased a new iPad today, and I found this really cool app called “Procreate”. There’s sooo much to do on it I swear it’s just like photoshop. Anyways...I’ve been playing with my new toys all day...and I want to learn how to create “AFABC”. It’s a completely new style of art for me...so like the title says...it’s experimental...

OK. It's February. But in 2050 summer might look like this.

Flowers and items on top of my bookshelf. Just wanted to be a bit different with this image.
