Sea Shells

If you’re like me, its not just good enough to walk on the beach…..I need to stop and look at the shells and pick out the pretty ones. In this photo I thought I’d just take a photo of all the shells laying in the sand to see if I could turn it into [...]

Pink Sun

Again….another interesting sunset. This time the sun looks almost pink as it sets on the water with a few clouds moving thru it. I made no adjustments to this photo in photoshop. I only cropped it portrait to give it a more appealing look.

Christmas Ball

This photo was taken at a shutter speed of 1/60, f/4.5 and a focal length of 70mm. Then it was cropped to emphasize the red ornament against the green blue of the Christmas tree. No flash was used, so it’s just ambient light from the room illuminating the ornament.

It was a spring day and the pink flowers on the magnolia tree had just opened. The camera settings ensured the forest in the background was out of focus, helping to emphasize the flower as the subject in this photo. The camera angle relative to [...]

Red Mill

 Red Mill
This photo was taken in Disney World. Unfortunately I can’t remember exactly where but I made a few adjustments in the areas around the mill and also changed the water to a brighter blue to make it look good enough to swim in.
