So, I had nothing to shoot, the weather was bad, my wife brought me roses, creative juices flowing…

A rose painted with light on our dating anniversary. I was enthrallled with the tones and textures in these roses and continued my experimentation for a while…

Before I knew it it was late, too late, like regret it in the morning late. But when I awoke and looked at these images I knew it was worth it, and a welcome reminder of my wife’s sweetness.
So, I thought I’d take this time to go through my old images and put a few up here. These images were the first I had ever tried using a technique to achieve an HDR (High Dynamic Range) image. In order to do this you take a number of bracketed exposures and combine them in software in order to get a wider range of exposure in a single image.


So I will be adding images from the past year or so on here and giving some insight as to what that day was like, etc.
Well, a while back I took my step-mom out to show her a little about how to use her new digital camera (a DSLR) and we stopped by the arboretum to practice what we had talked about, I came away with a couple of neat shots on this cold damp day…


…anyone need a lesson with their digital camera? Let me know!
Quite some time ago I setup a very inexpensive, temperamental studio setup and invited some friends and family over to see how it worked out, this is what I came up with. Thanks to the kind folks in these pictures that call me either a friend or are stuck with me as family!
Some of these are dark and moody, while others are light and playful, but we had fun making them all. Thanks for looking
