David and I went out to photograph an old abandoned house. I walked around the house several times ( each time with a different lens on my camera) and photographed everything that caught my attention. I decided to create kind of a collage with nine of the best images.

Enjoy and keep on photographing!

Whenever I am not supposed to eat something I crave it. Instead of eating it, I decided to photograph it. I edited a glass of soy milk, a nice plate and table cloth.

Enjoy and at the end the craving won, I ate the cookie!

David and I went to photograph an abandoned house. I created this image using my 180mm macro lens mounted on a tripod.

Enjoy and have a great creative week!

When I took this photograph this kangaroo didn’t seem to mind. I walked around quite a bit and I don’t think this kangaroo moved a single inch or muscle.

Sun themselves on the unseasonably warm February day. This fellow is going to have a new much larger home this summer. Maybe he was dreaming about that.

The last week I went several time out to Rahilly park in Merced, CA, photographing and observing the light at the blossoms of an Almond tree. I photographed them several times and yesterday I went out again. This time I took besides the tripod a second light stand and a strobe light with me. I wanted to mix natural with artificial light. I took several shots to find the best camera setting. If you use not enough strobe light the blossoms look too dark and if you use too much strobe light they really look “artificial.”

After I got the right mixture I create several images out of one camera raw file and edited the images in Photomatix pro to get this HDR image. Enjoy and have a great week-end!

I took my usual walk with my dog around Rahilly Park in Merced when I saw this hawk sitting in a tree. Luckily, this day I took my heavy 100-400mm lens with me so I was able to photograph this wonderful bird which was observing us closely. The hawk gave me all the time I needed to adjust the camera setting and posed for this shot.

Enjoy and have your gear ready at all times!

My wife and I visited a new cookie store in Merced, CA. I loved the light fixtures and took a shot. I used my prime 50mm lens at f2.8 focusing on the first lamp.

Enjoy and keep on photographing!

I went out to the Merced Game Refuge to photograph the snow geese. I found thousands of them and photographed shortly before sunset. Te light was absolutely beautiful!

Happy Valentine’s Day and don’t forget to photograph today!

I discovered this onion peel in the kitchen and decided to photograph it. Originally I had a black and white image in my mind but I decided to keep the color version. I used a single strobe light and a reflector to balance the light.

What kind of emotions does this image create in the viewer? It somehow reminds me of an antique vase. Enjoy and keep on photographing!
