More Images from the Archives

For today's post I am showing some images that have been edited in Photo Shop Elements. I typically do not edit my images much more then a little increase in sharpness or light/contrast. One of these images has had some work done to it as practice. Can you tell which one?

Couds and Sky

Cycling Architecture and Autumn

Today's post is from some shots over the weekend. It was a rather gray day. The kind of day which makes you work for your captures with slow shutter speeds and little shadows.

When the Light is right

Trout fishing has something in common with photography. In trout fishing you cannot catch fish unless your fly is in the water. Photograhy is similar in that you cannot make great photos unless you get out and shoot picture. So when the light is right or not you must get out and shoot.

House with three chimneys!

This post is of a house which seems to be almost more accident then intentional. It seems out of another place and time and I can easily imagine it as the residence in a fairly tail or other story.

Michael Kenna - Black and White Images

Today I am posting a link to the work of Michel Kenna. He is a British photographer working in black and white. He shoots primarily landscapes and forms which are devoid of people. These are beautiful, painterly images. Follow the link in the Inspiration section of the bloghttp://www.michaelkenna.net/interviews/feelslikehome.html.

Archive Photos from the Forest Park Balloon Race-2007

Today's post is from the St. Louis/Forest Park Balloon Race in 2007. Great light certainly helps make great pictures. The day started with  a double rainbow at the arch and the light remained incredible all afternoon.
