Just started to do photographs with a light-tent and Using either the Nikon 24-120 & the Tamron 90 macro lens. These are some of the images using it
The autumn blue sky seen through the golden leaves at Normanby Park in Scunthorpe, UK. November 2010. Laid out on my back taking this image looking up into the tree canopy of autumnal coloured leaves and a deep blue crystal clear sky. A classic autumn day.
The sky was amazing! I have never seen clouds like this. Was the wind doing this? This was just stunning.
This drawbridge has me irked lately! It has been closed for most of the the summer for repairs. And it 's now been stuck in the up position for the past of couple weeks. Meanwhile, I never see any work being done on it. The Bascuale Bridge connects the west side & east side of Lorain. We live walking distance from this bridge on the west side of town. We used to regularly drive over this bridge to Lakeside Marina and the Lorain lighthouse area (2 minute drive). Now we have to take a 20 minute detour over the Henderson bridge to get to the other side of town; or to head into Cleveland and the suburbs. Many businesses near this bridge are losing a good deal of revenue as a result of this closure.
I'll continue to deal for the next couple of months until it re-opens. And since it has become more difficult to go & take photos of the Lorain Lighthouse, I figured I'd snap a photo of this bridge after the sunset instead.
Washed up, the remains of Ham Harbour have taken quite a battering over the last few weeks.

Out and about with cool moonlight and flying sparks and Chris Renfro. It's getting to be that time of year when I can have a good evening of light painting in the mountains and still get home in time for few hours of sleep before my two-year-old wants to get up and play.
She just informed me that I have two minutes before we need to go to the bakery where she can have a muffin and I can get the coffee I desperately need this morning. Good times.
Garden variety UP Piss Bricks at the big curve at Loring. Only train that I really properly exposed all morning. Which is sad…
The baby flamingo is growing up very fast, and is now showing signs of going pink.
Colchester Zoo 3rd Dec 2014
I know... I clipped the wing tips (SIGH ) but I just loved the wing position like it was a glamorous hood and how she was lit up by the very early sunlight. The shape of the fish almost mimmicks her shape

For this shot, I was going for a levitation-style edit with balloons. I wanted to make it look like the balloons were lifting me up. I then added in many shots of the black balloon all around me at different depths to create contrast, interest, and depth in the composition. Editing did take quite a while to merge together the entire composite, and although it's not flawless, I am pleased with the result.
This photo fits into my concentration because of the clueless and curious mood portrayed across my face. It also is surreal with the levitation and other floating balloons.
Shortly after sunrise at the big curve at Krieder with the long shadows off the empty coal train rolling west on the Kansas Sub.
Navajo Knobs Trail; Capitol Reef National Park, Utah; November 2017
The trail climbs and then drops three or four different times in the five miles hiking out. This was taken on one of the downs.
I am always surprised at how many people get up before dawn to see the sunrise. For me I think its understandable because I'm taking photos, but a whole bunch of other folks show up at this ungodly hour, park their cars, and walk out on to the pier, takes some of photos and then just turn around and leave. I'm not sure why I find that so interesting, maybe it's just the realization that there are others doing the exact same thing as me. That's hard to believe. I'm not really sure what to make of that, I suppose its a good thing.
The girls are all dressed up and ready for Valentines Day. Time for me to do the same. Happy Valentines day!
Hummingbirds have iridescent color in their feathers, so up until this year I have always used flash to bring out the color and have never really been pleased with the results no matter how many flashes were employed. Today I used the biggest light source of all, the sun and waited until the waning hours of the afternoon to catch the sun as it set. The current lord of my feeder was very accommodating by landing on the perch I was focused on and into the sun at the same time. The result was the beautiful shimmer in the feathers.
