February Challenge - Minimalism
I caught the last few rays of winter sun filtered through the sparse branches of a large tree and falling on an old paneled door.

I've been photographing CJ for years. She took last year off. We'd have lunch or dinners together but not shoots. This was a reunion or sorts. Super happy to have her in my studio again.
Feasibility. I couldn't find a extra large and sharp star field, so I made do with what I could find.
Make a Snow Globe challenge.
Snow covers all distractions and makes life easy. It becomes way more tricky to achieve a minimalistic photograph having no snow. All the distractions need to be hided in a good way.
Today, I bring two snapshots featuring the iconic arch at La Playa de las Catedrales.

This is an old historic courthouse in Pittsboro North Carolina. It was recently restored after almost burning down.
Both photos were taken on the same day (about 45 minutes apart) at the same location. Very different impressions, I believe. One was right at the time when the sun dipped blow the horizon.
Wind Turbine in the Fog
No snow, but the temperature was below freezing.
I am lucky to have a resident pair of eagles nesting on a small lake in St. Louis county Missouri.
We were about halfway down Mile High Road this evening when this ambulance appeared. The sun had already gone well below the horizon, resulting in this image's noise and low contrast.
I was hoping for clear skies but it looks like it ain't gonna happen before the end of the month so I grabbed a 5 shot panorama I did a few years ago.
Original as well.
It was about a week ago when I went to a beach at Lake Michigan. It had been very cold for quite a while and when I arrived before sunrise the temperature was -6F (-21F).
Winter snow presents so many opportunities for those willing to brave the cold.
As snow is rare in my region, I have to head out, when there is some snow. And to be quick, to find no traces of others. Two examples from Dec last year.
Cold and foggy morning inside the waterfall environment. Conditions that I love for this kind of cold and dark photos. Typical framing for this location but with much more water flow than usual.
As the group has been a bit quiet of late I thought I'd open some recent work up for discussion.
I am always trying to expand my skills...well except for perhaps Portraits and Weddings.
These are my first birds in flight shots.. more or less. I'm vacationing in Portugal and shot these birds sitting on the edge of a clff on continuous shooting... which also I've never done.
Hello,
I am trying to get a foot in the door in doing architectural photography/higher end real estate.
A human being, the mountains around him that tower above him, the immensity of the horizon, the sun's rays that begin to warm the air after the night.

My favourite shot from a trip to New England a few months back. Arrived before sunrise at the location to be greeted with dense fog.
In late December, the Perkiomen Creek behind my house flooded and engulfed the trailcam I had attached to a tree about four feet above the normal waterline.
This is a shot I took a while back, trying to capture and interesting shadow as a subject moved through harsh window light.
I operated a photography business in Banff for 30 years and in addition to many other things, we shot lots of weddings.
I took this shot with a new "nifty fifty mm" 1.8 lens I received for Christmas. It was late at night in old town Geneva.
I am not very creative but here is my attempt at capturing first light striking a mountain 35 miles away, hoping for a nice Alpine Glow.
