Dark Days

This photo was taken at sunset in Washington DC with my 665 converted camera and a 720 mm filter and converted to black and white. It saddens me a bit as I think it is representative of the country’s state.

Moon Shadows

I found a spot in the backyard where street lights were blocked by the house and tried to capture the shadows of the Ash tree on the leaf covered lawn caused by only the moonlight of the near full moon. I used the 30sec shutter control setting.

Sunshadow

This is a comparison control photo I took with automatic settings in the noonday sunlight, of the tree shadows, to compare to photos taken of the same tree shadows in the moonlight of the full moon. Yet I found the images of the shadows very interesting in themselves.

Street Light Path

While trying to get a photo of moon shadows I found this interesting path of amber light coming from the amber colored street light down on the corner.

Fairy Light

Moonlight on the tree, lawn and Garden Fairy enhanced by the led light on the crystal ball she is holding.

Majestic Juniper in the Moonlight

It just seemed like the juniper bush was reaching past the ash tree to try and capture more of the moonlight. Such a tall stately bush in the brilliant moonlight.

The Conococheague Aqueduct

C&O Canal aqueducts are, in effect, water bridges that carry canal boats over creeks and rivers that flow into the Potomac River. Built from 1833 to 1835, the Conococheague Aqueduct is the fifth of 11 such “works of art” on […]

Whitewater River

Was out on an early morning shoot and was lucky enough to come across this scene. The lighting was changing as I was talking the picture. Right place, right time.
