Dance

This shot was in the studio with controlled lighting. So the challenge is timing. You have to try to anticipate the peak. This was a lucky one shot take. This is also my daughter.

Lilies

While on a road trip we stopped a an old church and these were growing in their flower bed.
I took only a few shots kind of in a hurry and I am glad I got this one. This is one of those cases where you do not realize what you have till you start going over what you shot for the day.

Eerie Clouds

While taking the trash out tonight I noticed a very eerie light and then looked to the west. This was right before sunset.

Runway 25

  Had a chance to walk on the Runway at the Jacksonville International Airport and thank goodness I had my little Lumix Camera with me. This almost looks like I am landing at a high speed because of the black skid marks on the runway. 

Shapes

While walking in St. Augustine I came across this door that caught my eye because of it being so high up. Then looking through the viewfinder I saw all the shapes in a very simple uncluttered way. I only cropped about one inch from the left side for a better composition. I like the two smudges next to the door where they have to put their hand and pull the door open and step up.

Sunrise over the Atlantic

Shot this sunrise along Hecksher Road. First time to use a split neutral density filter. Worked pretty well. The upper half is a number 2 ND.. this requires little to no Post processing. All I did was lighten up the foreground and sharpened it a little.

The Dive

This was taken many years ago. I was using film at the time. Slow shutter speed and a steady hand. I really cannot remember if I used a tripod or not (had to). Other wise I did have a steady hand.
