Spot the heron! This was taken from the footpath between Gipsy Lane in Wokingham & Luckley Rd. This field is a bit swampy & liked by herons of which there is one in this shot. The Emmbrook runs by that line of trees. HDR from a single RAW with further manipulation in PS CC.

This image is from my most recent trip to Cuba. It was a hotter than hell day with humidity that you felt that you could swim in the air. I always make it a point to shoot boxers after I shoot ballet dancers.

Prepares me for the elegance of the randomness of the ring.

I shot this with the 85mm f 1.2 S Nikkor lens. 1/2500 of a second ISO 100. Image raw processed in NX Studio and Photoshop CC with the NiK collection by DxO.

Focus Shift + Pixel Shift

I personal favorite of the series

I only used about 50 Focus Shift Images each with a 32-image pixel shift were captured in camera. Each of the pixel-shift images were combined and then exported as a 16-bit TIF (1.09GB) each of the 50 TIFs were then brought onto Helicon Soft stacking software. The software automatically stacked the TIFs into a single file that had the desired part of the frame in focus. That stacked image was brought into Photoshop for resizing and final adjustments.

Black and white are the colors of photography. They symbolize the alternatives of hope and despair to which mankind is forever subjected.”

– Robert Frank

This image is from my most recent trip to Cuba.

I have never met an image that I have shot the I did not know from the get go it was meant to be a black and white. The reason is simple when color becomes a distraction the the gesture the color needs to be removed and the black and white image needs to be abstracted out.

An image’s intention can hide in color, but in black and white all there is is the true intent of the moment.

I shot this with the 55mm f 1.2 S Nikkor lens. 1/2000 of a second ISO 1100. Image raw processed in NX Studio and Photoshop CC with the NiK collection.

In a portrait, I'm looking for the silence in somebody.

– Henri Cartier-Bresson

This image is from most recent trip to Cuba.

Sorry it’s been a minute since I last posted. Things in Los Angeles have been taking my attention away from posting images. That said…

I approach shooting my portraits as if they were landscapes and my landscapes as if they were portraits.

The film direct Irvin Kershner said “There's nothing more interesting than the landscape of the human face.” My goal in a portrait is to be seen through by the subject, not looked at, so I can see the entire landscape of the silence within them. For me there is nothing more satisfying photographically knowing I heard that silence and photographed the entire landscape of it. The initial observance of the elusive breath held expectant moment of time, frozen for all time.

I shot this image just before the ballerina Lilia Laura Martinez Hernandez started her series of leaps for me at sunset. Hence the shutter speed of 1/16000. I need that to freeze the motion. To capture motion with stillness. I chose the Z6III because of the amazing low to no noise at higher ISO.

I shot this with the Z6III NIKKOR S85mm f/1.2 lens. 1/400 of a second ISO 2800. Image raw processed in NX Studio and Photoshop CC with the NiK collection and Silver efex 7.

This is the color version

What I love about Black & White photographs is that they’re more like reading the book than seeing the movie.

— Jennifer Price

From my three weeks in Namibia—

Light, gesture, color are the key elements of every photograph. But when do you know that an image is meant to be a a black and white image? The answer is a lot simpler than the general song and dance you hear the pixel pundits put forth. When the cold gets in the way of the gesture. Then it is time to abstract out the color from the image so the gesture remains.

I have included both color and BW.

There is no bad light. There is spectacular light and difficult light. It's up to you to use the light you have. You are responsible for every part of your image, even the parts you’re not interested in.The composition is already there, you just need to frame it.

Photography is an act of love. When I shoot I fall in love thousands a time in a day. I do not believe in long exposures and and long relationships.

Always shoot it now. It won't be the same when you go back..

I have been working on an image project for the past 21 years. The “Tuning the Last Page” Project. The object is to photograph the echos of the past that are present today. My most recent trip to Namibia has started a new chapter in the project “Turning the Last Page: In the Land of Dry Water.”

I have wanted to travel to Namibia for over 40 years. It all started with the second CD I ever purchased Sanford Ponder’s Etoshia” In the Land of Dry Water.

AND to answer the next question YES I will be organizing a workshop there.

I shot this with the Z6III NIKKOR 28-400mm f/4-8 lens. mage raw processed in NX Studio and Photoshop CC with the NiK collection.

Construction workers check the quality of the cement in a sample as a crane hoist a tub of it up in the air from the cement truck.

Here I am at the start of the Rideau Canal skateway on Monday January 26, 2009, in -20C temperatures.

Today, January 28, 2024, the Rideau Canal is closed to skating as it is not safe because of mild temperatures this month. I now skate in an ice hockey arena Mondays and Fridays.
