I have reason to travel to Yarrawonga in northeast Victoria on the Murray River regularly, and while the landscape on the flood plains is flat, the skies can make up for the lack of dramatic scener

When I did this image I was just a few weeks after having an angioplasty. The leader of the group had asked us all to sign a waiver form and disclose any health issues we may have had recently...

He was just having the time of his life!

A rock pool at the top of Turret Falls in the Grampians in western Victoria.

An other of those places that I no longer divulge the location of. I first walked into the place in the early 90's, 93 I think. It was a job of work to find it, and not an easy hike.

I put up a few inexpensive photo prints at a local market for a month. (Theme - Water and Ice.)

I was leading a workshop group in Big Bend National Park, right on the Mexican Border, a hundred yards or so further south and I would be in Old Mexico, and BTW, we would go across the border each

Last Sunday, the Collegeville Volunteer Fire Department held its annual Car Show. They had more than a hundred cars on display, and there were more than a thousand attendees.

Something that is very different for me. Last spring I cast giant sunflower seeds all over a piece of our property that is between the fence around our yard and the street.

Late morning, just off highway 14A, near the Medicine Wheel site. Three bulls eating willows

“There's a place I travel when I want to roam, and nobody knows it but me. The roads don't go there and the signs stay home, and nobody knows it but me.

I thought I would try a bit of overexposure on the beach shooting directly into the bright sun on a very hazy day.

This is in Edenton, North Carolina. The Roanoke River Lighthouse. We usually stop here on our way back to NC from vacation in upstate New York.

I have hiked into the bottom of this canyon several times and walked through this little window before I figured out what I wanted to do with it.

Shot in a small lake, added fog, smoke and color filter from a plugin from Fstoppers. I like the effects I added.

Today's offering is s series of abstract images created by moving the camera in a single linear motion.

I have driven past this spot many times and often thought that if I could get the right cloud structure over it, and good light that it would make a nice image.

This is a photo I took during a short trip to Budapest I took in the summer of 2020.

To get this image I was lying on my back with the camera pointing straight up.

In order to keep the group healthy, I thought it might be worth adding a few guidelines that might help us all work better as a community.

Thought I'd kick off proceedings with some of my more traditional abstract work, some of which you may have seen before.

"Floating Rock, Schoodic Point, Maine" The last evening of my residency at Acadia National Park I was walking up a very rugged beach in Acadia when I came to this.

All these photos involved using extension tube and in-camera multiple exposures.

Another of my favorite places. I have done several different images of this place, and I began wondering, what would happen if I used a longer lens to isolate these rocks?

These photos were taken at 35mm and using an 11mm and 18mm extension tubes. The subject is a colored glass paperweight that contains a pattern of air bubbles within the glass.

You may remember a previous black and white photo I posted using 12" x 18" foam sheets from the craft store.

Here is another attempt, but in creative color this time.

With this series of photos I used various pieces of paper, some because of color and others for the texture. All use extension tubes and in-camera multiple exposures. All shots used a

I have never been into space, so this is what I might imagine that it looks like. Again, from a canyon wall when I was exiting Farnsworth Canyon ahead of a thunderstorm.

I had been working in the deserts of Northern Arizona and Southern Utah.
