Earlier this month, I had the chance to trek down to the Dark Hollow waterfall, right off of the Skyline Drive, in the Shenandoah National Park. I hadn’t been there for a few years, so I was really looking forward to this visit. While there was not as much water flowing as the last tie I was there, Dark Hollow Falls is still a majestic sight and well worth the hike down (and back up) the hill. Being able to visit these places and having the opportunity to photograph moving water is one of the things that I truly enjoy. Here are a few images from the day.
Birds in the snow...
We had our first accumulating snow of the year yesterday (31Jan2021) - and of course I had to spend some time capturing pictures of the backyard birds in the snow. I hope you enjoy these images!!
Outdoor images in the late fall / winter...
Sometimes outdoor photographers just put their cameras down in the late fall and winter because the leaves are gone and the landscape appears barren and uninteresting. But I think just the opposite is the case. In winter, you get to see all of the textures and patterns in nature. And it provides a perfect environment to capture some interesting black and white renderings of the world around you. Here are a few images that I’ve taken outdoors this winter (no snow, sorry)…
It's been a while since I posted anything...
Well it’s been a while since I posted anything… This “stay at home” stuff has put quite a lot or pressure on being able to get out and take pictures ;-) But today's photos are a little bit different. As I walked out the front door this afternoon, I found this little guy sitting on the corner of our front porch (searching for a warn spot I'm guessing). So, or course, I went back inside and grabbed a camera to capture these images. And for a while, the little toad put up with my picture taking, then he decided that he liked hiding in the grass better. This particular toad was only about two inches (five centimeters) from head to tail, but he had big eyes ;-). Enjoy the photos...
Light Painting
I’ve been working on my light painting skills lately.. It is one element of creative photography that is difficult to replicate in post processing… Here are a few “still life” images from my initial set. Stay tuned for some additional light painting images!
Soap Bubbles
Yesterday, I spent some time capturing images of soap bubbles - - one of my favorite activities. Soap bubbles provide an endless supply of color and textures to tease the imagination. Here are a few images. Enjoy!
