Landscape HDRs can be realistic

Tuesday, March 9, 2010

It’s a fact. HDR doesn’t have to be surreal.
While shooting in Vulture last Saturday John asked me my opinion on HDRs for landscape.  We were walking along between buildings when the question was posed, so we stopped and set up a few landscape HDRs for processing later.
Personally, I think HDRs for landscapes ROCK!  It’s [...]

Turning Day into Night…..well, trying to at least

Tuesday, February 9, 2010

Yesterday I got a bee in my bonnet. Metaphorically speaking that is. I haven’t been known to wear bonnets in quite a while now……Actually, I’m not even sure what a bonnet is.  And fortunately all the bees are hiding right now due to the cold.  I’m allergic to them you know.
So, no bees, [...]

Recently I’ve been toying with the idea of submitting a few articles to magazines regarding some of the [...]

Standing next to a Saguaro

Thursday, January 7, 2010

Seriously, if you want to shout out, “I’ve been to Arizona,” is there anything else that you’d want to do?  I don’t think so.  The Saguaro cactus is something that screams Arizona!
While on the road in 2006 I totally missed Arizona.  I crossed through the mid-west, hit TX, NM, CO, UT, NV, CA…….and more.  But [...]
