I pass by this place often. Even though it looks abandoned, it's actually still operational. It was a tough angle, but the only one I could get. A storm was rolling in fast.

I like the timing of the shot. You get the trick and the high five in the background.

Fog over Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia.



I visited that place twice in two years, spent three full days riding around the island, and each time it greeted me with with cloudy, rain inducing skies. Oh, the infamous Atlantic weather.

Stunningly beautiful capture, Alex! Gorgeous silver tones and a fantastic subject!

When I was in High School I was a track photographer for a local drag strip. I've been getting back into that lately and this is one of my photos from a Stock and Super Stock race at Pacific Raceway here in Washington. It's not art, but it's fun.

Try shutter priority to get some motion-blur in the wheels. More work panning, but IMO the images make up for it.

Went to Hersheypark, PA over the weekend and visited the Butterfly House in the Hershey Gardens...

Thank you! Spent a while in Lightroom trying to find the right look for that image. I like the black and whites you've been posting, great tones in those images too.

To my eye, I think it would work better if the in focus keys were the first in the row.

It probably would. I was playing with the lens, though, just trying to get a feel for its close focusing abilities. In general though, I'm not too crazy about images focused on points on the extreme edges of the frame.

Every year my town has a Blackbeard Festival. I thought I might post some pics form this year's festival over the next few days...

Each to their own. Here is mine for the day where the focus is at the very front. The thing that was disappointing on this location was the field was closed off due to nesting ground birds, so you couldn't get a shot at the busiest corner of the field. I still like the lighting in this one as well as the dof.

I do like that image. Very nice color. I live near a national park, so I'm accustomed to planning a trip to a location only to arrive and find it closed off. It's always a bummer!

I'll have a few more this week, but I think this is my favourite.

Maybe not 'art'.... But still looks like a great time to me.



Probably should have entered this one in the the headshot contest instead...
