Portraits of flowers seem to be in style here right now. This is the first bud on a new rose bush we planted last year. It is not a cutting....I have an non-reflecting black board I place behind flowers in the garden -- the result is somewhat like Alan's recent photos here. Here's one other...

Just a collection of good memories Rome - in the morning light Colmar, France......called the most beautiful small town in the world. San Gimignano.....the small town of 5 towers in Italy A back street in Strasbourg The clock portal in Rouen, France

A selection of photos that I came across recently.....It seemed that people in Paris appreciate their surroundings (easy to do!). I don't know if those in these photos were visitors or residents. Most of my photos are of the landmarks and the usual sights but I'm glad I "humanized" a few...

The lighting and overlaid fronds create an interesting pattern.

All From Monet's Garden in Giverny France

Seems this thread has become a bit busier. Some very interesting closeup work the past few days. I'm a big fan of Still life photography and I like to experiment with lighting and composition. I know it's not the most popular subject -- product photography is the payoff. For this shot, I used...

Beautiful colors and pattern

The gentle lighting seemed to enhance this sculpture by artist Oliver LaGrone.

Back to trying lighting experiments now that it's turned colder & grayer outside. Key light was a very small Godox LED source through a Westcott mini softbox. Side light was a LED lamp in a 14" reflector with a grid, and flagged to give only a small stream of light on the background. Took...

The Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta is underway. Always colorful. (These are some photos from a previous year)
