Dandelion art

Dandelion art

In some cases it's a matter of taking the every day things and turning them into something else. Take a dandelion, photograph it and then subjected it to different special effects. The end result is a piece of artwork that no one has seen before. A world that everyone sees every day but is blind to it because the mind does not think of it as important.

Humming birds

Humming birds

In order to capture humming birds in flight and freeze thier beating wings so they don't look like a blur, the shutter speed needs to be at least1/1600 of a second. This photo was shot at  1/2000 of a second and because it was shot in the shade adjustments had to be made in raw.

Photos in the moment.

Photos in the moment.

     Some photos present themselves because we are in the right place at the right moment in time . This photo is typical of why a photographer always has a camera at hand.
    The struggle of life and death goes on eveven if we do not notice. In this case it was a little hard not to notice. The leopard lizard chasing a post lizard  over my feet caught me a little off guard , but I had my camera in hand. I pulled my camera out of my camera bag and proceeded to take as many photos as I could . I could not believe what was taking place at my feet . The post lizard struggles free and runs back under my feet . The event over , I stepped into my truck  to find on the floorboard the post lizard.   He was more afraid of being eaten by another lizard than hitching a ride on the pant leg of a giant.
