The Little Things, Aquilegia Blue-White

Here's another macro image from this weekend. Once a again it's a nice clean sharp image with no background distractions. A simple subject like this becomes spectacular with a clean background.

The Little Things, Anome

Saturday I was working some flora macro shooting. One of the keys that I keep in mind is having a non-destracting background. To acheive this all about controlling your depth of field. I did this by keeping my aperature at f-16. The background is blurred and while processing the lighting levels I darkend further enhancing the subject.

The Little Things, African Violet

Hello everyone

As a photographer and in any business it's important to have goals. Sometimes the accomplishment can be monetary value

or a confidence booster. One of my goals for this coming year is that I want to increase my floral/macro collection. I came up with the name 'The Little Things,' to ensure the focus is on macro images. Here on this African Violet I used a small depth of field, low f-stop, to blur the background. Background control is very important with a close up shot like this, also I used a little Topez Buzz.

Hope you enjoy

Gone fishing

Hello everyone

Here's another image from the small mountain stream near Worlds End State Park. While capturing the whole falls and stream a fisherman aka my father in law came in to cast a couple of times for some native trout. This image is all about being in the right place at the right time. The hardest part was getting him to get into the shot.

Hope you enjoy

Standing Guard

Hello Everyone,

These rock formations are along the Loyalsok creek by the entrance to Worlds End State Park. They mysteriously appeared during the Sullivan County bowhunters festival this past September.

Worlds End State Park

Hello everyone, sorry for the delay in posts, it's been pretty busy around here. This past weekend I was up in Sullivan County and Worlds End State Park. This mountain stream is outside of the park. The water level on all of the creeks and streams was amazing.

Hope you enjoy
