I was playing with my light box, thinking about what would reflect bottom sourced light.

To create this image I used a extension tube attached to my 28-135mm lens and set the lens wide open at f36 to get as deep a depth of field as possible.  I purposely used the background fabric to add  some texture to the blank lower left and upper right. Now it goes back on the tree.

I wish everybody a Merry Christmas with an image I shot in January in Barcelona, Spain. This is the Magic Fountain at MontJuic where we saw magnificent light arrangements.

Enjoy and don’t forget to create many great images during the Holidays.

While wrapping some gifts…

This is a very dynamic  image. Your eye can’ find a single focus point so it wanders all across the photograph.

I came across some paint and crayons and thought hmmm…..

I like the vibrancy of the  primary colors. Not much subtlety here. Add a grunge border and there you go.

Last night I was working on my photo project for the week ( see www.passionforphotos.com) photographing water droplets as they were falling down. I decided to experiment a little bit.  I tried to photograph a water droplet falling on a burning candle. It took a little bit of patience but after a while I got this image. Camera setting: 180mm macro lens, f16, 1/200sec. (flash) at ISO 100.

Enjoy and keep on photographing!

It is always fun to freeze a moment in history. I tried to photograph water droplets as they were falling into a blue glass bowl. After a while I got a few nice images. Enjoy this one!

Happy Friday and keep on photographing!

I’m not one for major photo manipulation, but I think this is just cool.

This is called the Droste Effect and is a plugin filter for Photo Shop. I saw it on the web and just had to try and copy it. The web video was about 7 min long. It took me just a tag longer, yes that was sarcasm. I tried several different items, this flower and a clock worked very well. Some stuff just turned out bad.

Learned that if I do much more of this I’m going to need a faster graphics card. Any suggestions?

This is one of those photographs were it takes a moment to recognize what you’re looking at.

Even after you read the words you have to take a step back and look at the whole photograph to realize this is an old coffee can.

The famous photographer Ruth Bernhard inspired me to photograph gummy bears. She photographed lifesavers in 1930. I decided to try something similar with gummy bears and I will share some more photographs on my other blog www.passionforphotos.com next week.

Enjoy and happy photographing!

I like to look at Graffiti and photograph it. Many times those images contain a hidden truth.

This piece of art I photographed in China Town in San Francisco. Enjoy and keep the camera busy!
