A lil dab'l do ya
Sometimes adding a UV or ND filter to your lens smeared with a bit of vaseline can create surprisingly pleasant effects!
Downtown Seattle Bubbles
Is this a scene from Batman? Or is this a photo taken on a walk through a City? Can you guess where the photo was taken?
Boston Skyline at Blue Hour
Took this a couple of years ago and it was my first attempt at a cityscape image. I’m pretty proud of it but open to all feedback as it is not something I am very experienced in.
Bluristic part 2
Just to let folks know that I have added a second blog entry after performing some pretty intense testing on the Bluristic iPhone app.

Desert Fever
The icing on the cake after hours of shooting the dunes during a windy afternoon. The rim lighting from the setting sun helped define all the different layers.
I hope you enjoy!

Something I have given a lot of thought over for quite a long time now is the role of the rules of composition.

Why Entry-Level Cameras Might Be Losing the Weight War
Adrift
Afternoon dappled light in the dunes during a windstorm. Some of the most fun I've had while taking photographs.
Picos de Europa
Mountains, silence, and sky. Sometimes all it takes is a different perspective to feel everything anew.
Restoration Update
I was experimenting with the newer capabilities of Luminar NEO's "Restoration" function, which repairs dust and scratches and also colorizes (you can choose either or both).
A Stroll on the Docks
A small local port in Macau. Light was a bit too sharp, but the port was very calm and inviting and who doesn't love boats?
Strolling around last Sunday
No "challenge", just strolling around last Sunday from 8 to 12 in the morning. Enjoying being out, diving into the grassland. No one waiting for me, nothing to think about...

It's been a while someone posted here. Nice winter southern Spanish light.
