Another Try at In the Round
I've experimented with "in the round" several times with mixed results. I decided I would give it another try with this clock in downtown Roxboro, North Carolina.
Ice storm photos
We had an ice storm last week and while the obvious choice would be to try landscapes with trees I decided to stay off the roads and shoot in my backyard.
Creative Irony
I create these using the phrase, something like: "Old man writing a sonnet about hating AI created poetry". I used an AI Picture creator as well as an AI poetry creator.
Adobe Photo plan price increase looming
Just to make others aware of this. The Adobe Phtography (monthly) plan (LR + PS) is set to increase significantly in January 2025.
The eagle
This eagle had a cormorant and was vending off the seagulls who kept coming in attacking him trying to take his prize.
January challenge - inclement weather
As it is becoming increasingly challenging to come up with monthly challenges that meet our true MAE criteria, I am pushing the scope of the January 2025 challenge somewhat by viewing this s 'Exper
Underwater Flower Photography
I came across this idea, so I thought I would work with what I have:
Flowers Water Half and Half and the proverbial Kitchen Sink
Reflections on Technique
Adobe recently added the ability to eliminate reflections in some existing raw files, including Nikon NEF files, through a technology preview.
New camera!
After a nice little windfall buying and selling some camera equipment, I was able to purchase a full frame camera - again. A new FF sensor is better than an old APS-C!
Moncure Moon
My first photo of 2025. I was in the little town of Moncure, North Carolina for a round of disc golf on New Years Day.
Hand Positioning?
What do you think? Do you like the hand positioning?
Christmas Lights Sorta
On the way home via 422 after Christmas dinner at the cousins in Wyomissing. In addition to my usual techniques, I used a fair amount of Blendif in Photoshop.
Back From the Dead
I believe it was group member @brucegrant that posted some old rusted out cars sometime this past summer. His post sparked an idea in me.
Architecture of Cosmos
And here is my first picture with the whole arch of the Milky Way.
Change in direction?
For those that may not know, I volunteered to take over (or more accurately, moderate) this group after the founder, Ruth Carll decided that it was getting too much for her.
Christmas Present to Myself
My wife has threatened me with bodily harm* if I don't get some of my pictures printed and framed.
Seasonal Greeting from Oregon
First time visitors to Western Oregon are always amazed and delighted when we get the first dusting of Moss for the Holidays.
Day to Night
Day to Night at the Bogue Inlet Pier in Emerald Isle, North Carolina.
Truckin'
I may have taken this a bit too far out there, but "experimental" is in the group name.
There were nine source images but this image required 31 layers.
Chair setup
Play with chair. not perfeckt but start again. 2 softbox by side.
Selections from my Recent Nude and Projects
A few selections from my most recent projects with models Alecia, Liz and Jessa.
Fangorn
I've been in this particular grove on Vancouver Island a number of times, and the conditions a couple of weeks ago in this old growth forest were the best I've ever seen.
Nikon Z6III Weird Flicker
Hello everyone, I am new here. I have a weird issue with my Z6III camera, I noticed it during a shoot at a musical event with lots of flashing lights/LEDs. I have flicker reduction turned on.
December Challenge - selfies
I am posting the December challenge early as I will be traveling and with limited access to a PC.

Catagnus Variations in Red
Whenever possible, I photograph people through the SUV windshield now that I can no longer do all (or practically none) of the driving.
Hodge Podge + Bonus
I was out of town for a week and thought I'd try different things.
Light trails and a comet
I thought I would have a hard time finding the comet in the St. Louis light pollution, which turned out to be wrong. So I drove a short distance along US Highway 44 West looking for a darker sky.
