Night Photography Workshop

*
During my resent trip to California my friend Tanya and I spent four days in Yosemite.

Being a huge nature lover the National Park is everything I could have ever imagined - and more. Gorgeous natural wonders, trails, wild life, and sunshine... I already look forward to returning.

While there I joined a photography workshop offered by the Ansel Adams Gallery. The theme was Night Photography, and with the full moon blasting attending this class is just about the best thing I ever did for myself!

If you follow this Blog (or my personal Blog for that matter) you'll know although I specialize in people photography I tend to shoot anything my heart desires thus with encouragement from Tanya and my friend Kimber I signed up for this unique opportunity.

Although I have yet to post process these are my favorite workshop shots - straight off the camera.
































- What are your plans for this summer?

- And what are your thoughts on the state of California closing some of the State Parks?

Farewell to February

I spent most of this weekend converting part of my huge backlog of RAW files.

These were all shot this past month.

Day 15 - Wintersong

Something about this made me think of Joni Mitchell's song lyrics "River"

Day 19 - Dying Reflection

Day 28 - Swans

Frozen Tennis ball

March is finally here. What do you look forward to most this month?

Project 365 - day 17 The Simple Life

Over the past years I find myself living more and more simple, taking pleasure in little things.

While living downtown Copenhagen I was within a block of two major parks, the Botanical Garden, and lakes full of swans and herons. I thought I had it all yet now I find myself constantly amazed how much I missed being surrounded by "real" unsculptured nature.

Tonight as the sun set I hung a ball of bird feed on one of the old crooked apple trees in my back yard. Immidiately birds in the neighboring trees started to chirp as to say "Thank You". It made me smile.

I brought my camera along en route to the grocery store this afternoon. Our vehicle taxes being out the roof many people commute by bus, train, Metro, or on good oldfashioned bicycles. Mine is a blue 10-speed I hope to get back on by summer.

This caught my eye.

As I was having a hard time picking an image from todays batch I am throwing in a few more for good measure.

Have a wonderful weekend!
