Yesterday I posted some images from the Collegeville Auto Show that were not what I had planned but some people found them interesting.

I was visiting a viewpoint in the Columbia River George Scenic Corridor with the intention of photographing Light Trails.

As I sit here amidst a heavy rainstorm, I thought I'd add some more pics I took at the beach recently.

Sunday afternoon was the annual Collegeville Auto Show. They close off Main Street from 3rd street all the way past Ursinus College for most of the day. Trophies are handed out. Bands play.

I've really had fun exploring our local creeks after the sun comes out following a deep freeze. Ice next to moving water creates amazing designs and forms.

Certainly not the prettiest images I’ve ever taken but they are dramatic and true to life. I’ve taken macro images for some years and have never taken images such as these.

I've lived in the desert and in the cold north. So for weather extremes, I thought a different spin might be temperature extremes.

I'm still messing around with multiple images, although I'm starting to get the feeling that the technique is overpowering the content.

I joined a contest earlier today themed mirroring. You could put in 4 images.

Okay, not so much "Storm"...it's seems when there is a storm I am usually IN the storm and it's pouring down cold, cold rain.

We visited Pikes Peak, Rocky Mountains National Park and Garden of the Gods. What a beautiful land!

I started my macro journey mid July 2022, so far I have the Panasonic 30 mm macro lens and the Olympus 60 mm macro lens.

Looking for clear skies in the province of Ourense. In this case on the border with Portugal, including the Xurés-Gerês Biosphere Reserve.

I've seen layers of mud curl up like this before but never as much as this.

I think it was about six months ago before I even heard of Bisexual Lighting in Photography (cinema).

This is a seed pod of a Sacred Datura plant. All shape, texture and contrast. Hoping the composition works and the image is interesting.

Just as a heads up, once again I log into fstoppers only to find I am no longer a member of this group.

Better late than never?

Large composite piece using 3D posed figures and various overlay assets to bring it together.

Had the fortune to run around Mt Blanc last year and this is one of the images from that trip. B ut I'm a bit stuck whether or not it has potential?

had a job out in new york that requested twilight shots. what process do you all use to edit it out?

From my recent trip to dolomites your feedback will be appreciated.

I just spent a few days away visiting relatives and a scorching beach in Maine. Not one to sit around I grabbed my trusty camera and set out to practice some long exposure shots.

July's theme, Motion.

Yesterday Harry and I did our usual rounds of the neighborhood a bit early as we saw a report that a thunderstorm was coming. The first image was done about a third of the way.

I visited the Steens Mountains area of Oregon and the Alvord Desert for a bit of camera fun.

In viewing Joe Svelnys' post Motion: Butterflies it reminded me that I captured the same theme last week while hiking the Steens Mountain Wilderness Area in Oregon.

Not sure how I feel about this one yet. I think it's decent but I'm sure there's room for improvement.

My work is inspired by Renaissance old master paintings so often my lighting and editing style will reflect that look.

(Question on Smart Objects below) We have been living in the area for about 5 years.
