A little taste of fall

This was taken nearly 10 years ago while on a stroll through Georgetown. I like the interplay of the shadows and the shapes of the leaves (and the stunning fall color doesn't hurt!). Enjoy!

What is that?

I have this fun lens called a Lens Baby. The idea behind it is that you can shift the central focal point of a photograph and create some interesting effects. For me, the ability to get a bit abstract with an object makes the lens great fun.

Purple Lily

Not sure this translates as well on the white background of the blog. I was playing around with using off-camera flash. In this case, the flash was fired from just below and behind the lily.

San Francisco Lands End Flower

This is from a trip to San Francisco a couple of years ago. I was playing a bit with the depth of field and like how this one turned out. Enjoy!

Jefferson Memorial

I shot this on a chilly fall morning a couple of years ago. It was about a 20 second exposure and you can see a faint streak of light on the left, just about the tree - that's a plane taking off from National Airport.

Capitol Dome

Since I haven't had much time to do much shooting lately, I wanted to blog some older photos in my collection. This is a close-up of the Capitol Dome. This was actually shot on slide film and scanned. Looking at it now, some eight years or so after it was shot, I see some of the technical flaws, but I hope you enjoy it.

Salt Marsh Grass, near Wellfleet, Mass

I played around with this a bit in post-processing to enhance the colors some and to bring out some of the highlights in the grass.
