Day 172

Today is the first day of summer. I wanted to shoot something to represent that. I found a wooden fan and added a glass of ice water.

Day 170

Busy day, shopping for sofas and tv and found nothing I wanted. So I picked up Dude and brought him to the dog park. As usual he was a muddy mess by the time we left. I gave him a quick bath. While cleaning myself after he shook the water all over me I noticed the shadows on the shower wall. I added 3 additional textures to it.

Day 161

I stopped by the house that I am going to be moving into on July 1st. While I was inside meeting with my new landlord a storm passed over. As I was leaving I saw this great sky and grabbed a few shots. BTW my landlord is really chill, just my style, we're going to get along just fine.

Day 136

Sunrise at Cape Cod. The last day of my workshop with Bryan Peterson AND Kathleen Clemmons. What an awesome 3 days we had. I will catch up on everyone's streams as soon as I can. Too many days without internet !

Day 89

Second day of torrential rains. This was taken right outside my front door, the stream is over flowing and I noticed the ripples as I was pulling into my driveway.

Day 47

I know this has been done before, but not by me. It was a lot harder than it looks. It took quite awhile to get the lighting, the bubbles and the focus just right. I followed Bryan Peterson's book "Understanding Close-up Photography" to get this shot. I had to play around in photoshop quite a bit to get the colors brighter. Hint... if you start to lose the bubbles add a little salt to the club soda.

Day 32

Today I decided to use my canon 500D lens on my 70-200 lens with an extension tube to shoot some close up shots.
I got the idea from Bryan Peterson, he explains it all here
