Something a little different then what I’ve been posting this last week, although, the photo subject matter did come from the same location.

With spring almost here there’s been “opportunities” this week for working in our yard — weeding the flower beds, fertilizing and seeding the yard, and spreading pine needles among the shrubs and plants around the house. Some of these chores will prevent additional work as spring turns to summer, such as the pine needles, while [...]

I’ve commented before on how Nikon’s 24-70mm f/2.8 is one of my favorite lens but I have to say with time and a lot of use I’ve also become a fan of Nikon’s 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G VR lens.
It’s not the fastest Nikon zoom lens in this range, the “professional” 70-200mm f/2.8 holds that honor, but it’s [...]

There was a hint of trees blooming in yesterdays photo but todays image certainly confirms spring is within sight, and I can’t say its arrival is any too soon.
This winter was the coldest and wettest winter recorded here in 30 years. So even if spring brings along with it my spring allergies, which I’m sure [...]

I was on Google Maps a couple of days ago and found this delightful pond less then a half a mile from my house. I had no idea it was there until I began exploring the area using the satellite view. Then it was a simple matter of locating a close road and a short [...]

While I’ve been known to “enhance” what comes from the camera during post-processing I seldom stray too far from the original — I would be considered somewhat conservative in that regard.
However, often for my own enjoyment I’ll select a photo and go a bit wild in Photoshop just to see what I can create. This [...]

I’ve been remiss in my posting this past week — time spent reading, thinking, contemplating [...]

Often during dryer periods this particular spot will have almost no flowing water but last weekend with the run off from winters heavy rain and snow there was a strong current. I sat, watched and listen for a while, finally raising my camera and make this photo.
I used multi-exposures process to retain some details in [...]

“Mother Nature” made a comment on my post of two days ago, “Awaiting Spring,” which addressed signs of a coming spring. As you can see from these photos she’s rather direct in her comments as to it not being Spring yet but presents a very strong case.

I normally consider a number of things when composing a photo including: the framing; format (portrait or landscape); balance; focal point; DOF; perspective, exposure, etc. — these are conscious considerations based on experience and knowledge of what works. I’ll make these photos and usually know what I like or was trying to capture in them.
Then sometimes I get the sense a composition is “right” without being able in the moment to define why or what makes it “right.” These moments result in photos with “something” but “something” undefined.
