ABOUT THIS IMAGE
The Getty with Cloud
I went to the J. Paul Getty Museum in Brentwood, Los Angeles, California to see the Photographers Ray K. Metzker and Robert Mapplethorpe. I was amazed at Metzker's work whom I had never before seen and was disappointed with only seeing about 15 of Mapplethorpe's work which was shown. However the entire floor had many other fantastic photographers to see and I was very pleased. I also spent the rest of the day making images of the Center, which was designed by the Architect Richard Meier.

ABOUT THIS IMAGE:
On this day, which was overcast and drizzly, I decided to drive north along the coast ( Highway 1) and capture long exposure images. I stopped at a vista point near San Simeon below Hearst Castle and captured a few images. I was lucky and was able to nail the
exposure right away.
For information on San Simeon:

For information on Hearst Castle:
I am so excited that I finally got a shot of a Hawaiian sea turtle (aka, Honu)!! I have to say, the sea life at Hanauma Bay is so much less camera shy than that on the North Shore. I've done most of my snorkeling and photo attempts at Turtle Bay on the North Shore, and those fish run (swim quickly) from people. At Hanauma Bay, they nudge people out of their way as they swim by, and I'm pretty sure some of the fish were posing for the camera!!
I took this with my Canon S90 (in underwater casing, of course) that I love so much for a pocket cam (for any kind of camera for that matter)! Editing was done with Nik HDR Efex Pro and Nik Color Efex Pro....and a little bit of Lightroom and Photoshop. :)
Lovely water lily at the Dallas Arboretum & Botanical Gardens with a tiny visitor!
Thank you all very much for your views, faves and comments!
Update: Capture Dallas (Dallas News Online Photo Group) awarded me Photo of the Day for June 18.
Running out of data so can't upload many images but this was one I took last night, just dodging the rain.
4 part panorama.
From a weekend hike in Abraham Lincoln Park along Irondequoit Bay, just outside Rochester, NY. Stitched image since I had my 50mm lens with me during our 5.5 mile hike.
From Afar II - X
I'm continuing my series called From Afar, based on subjects which are far from the coast. The intention is not to bring these subjects closerwith the use of a longer lens. But it's a play of subject with negative space and composition to show distance. A deeper meaning into this series would be a longing of what we want in life but not necessarily what we need. What we want sometimes takes time therefore there's a need to live with what we have. By putting it in a context of a theme, I'm forced to work with what I have to deliver and stay relevant with my vision.
I'm continually improving my workflow and processing skills. I'm probably going though stages what other black and white photographers have gone through as well. It's a slow process further more with long exposure. A discipline which can't be rushed. I'm just learning on those subtle tones, control of graduations, every change in pixels applied in small percentages. I'm just taking my own sweet time.

ABOUT THIS IMAGE
Too Near the Fiery Orb
On March 24, 2013 my wife and I went up to Moonstone Beach in Cambria, California for a late lunch at one of our favorite restaurants The Moonstone Beach Bar and Grill. I can’t tell you how many times we have enjoyed a meal there.
Afterwards it was image-taking time. Made a few images along the Moonstone Beach drive and then up north along the coast. I stopped at one of the vista turnouts and just had fun clicking away at anything that was flying. I filled an entire 8GB card just having fun. My wife and I had a great day.

I'm redecorating the living room and got a big frame to put on portrait orientation over the fireplace. Since I didn't have anything in portrait orientation that I thought would suit the look I wanted, I decided to go and take a new picture for it. This composition is exactly what I had in mind when I left my house, but the amazing, almost full moon was a bonus I was not expecting!
Processed with Photoshop and Nik's Silver Efex Pro 2
There was a foggy morning mist on the horizon, and I wish I could have captured it a bit better, but...
More Spring color from the Pacific Northwest.
Have a wonderful week everyone : )

Those that know me know that I'm not a fan of winter. So usually between the months of December to early March, I very rarely go out to take pictures. With work being extremely busy lately, it's probably been since early December when I last picked up my camera. Yesterday the forecast was was overcast, but it was supposed to be in the low 50's. The temperature never got that warm, but I decided that enough was enough, so I grabbed my camera gear and went out. With the lack of color in the area and snow still on some of the rocks, I previsualized this image in monochrome. I'm not completely happy with the composition as I wanted to get a lower perspective, but that would have involved me getting wet, which was out of the question when the temperature was just 37 degrees.
