I reached back into my archives for this photo of the last moments of sunset at Victoria, BC, Canada. As usual, the photo doesn’t do justice to actually being there. I needed a tripod for a longer exposure time but I had to make do shooting this handheld.

Break Out – Late evening over the James River, VA, amid clouds from a passing cold front.
In a recent culling process I almost discarded this photo for being overexposed and washed out. It was bad, bad enough I didn’t initially notice the sun rays above and below the central cloud formation. Luckily something caught my [...]

I snapped this photo using my general purpose walk-about zoom lens, a Nikon 18-200 VR DX, with a Nikon D300. A few years ago capturing photos in similar conditions would [...]

So, pollsters are finding Americans to be deeply pessimistic about the economy and the direction the country is heading.
Record numbers of home foreclosures, failing businesses and industries, climbing unemployment numbers, loss of retirement savings due to crashing global financial markets, two wars and the continuing threat of a terrorist act can tend to make one [...]

We took a few days and visited South Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, for some needed R&R. This presented new photographic opportunities for me to take advantage of.
For me the beach is most enjoyable when it’s off season, not crowded and has temperate temperatures.
