Moody Tree

Being able to capture every day objects and subjects that are often ignored and convert them into a "classic" shot is the greatest feeling.

Reflection Pond

Taking photos is all about timing, knowing when to press the shutter, knowing when to move and knowing when the subject is ready for your to snap away.   Sometimes, you just walk into the picture and IT waits for you.

Dusk Over the Bay

Photos is low light are some of the more difficult shots to master.  I by no means have mastered these shots, but I have seen many of stunning scenes.

Island Fireworks

Fireworks are always stunning to look at, yet harder to capture in a photograph.  It takes lots of practice and almost perfect timing to capture THE SHOT.  Even if you do  not capture THE SHOT,  you can end up with some spectacular photos.

Can you find the dog that is laying down?

Rebirth

Emotions are not the only thing you can capture on with a photograph.  You can capture the color of the seasons and you can almost feel the cool brisk day in this shot.

Sometimes you have subjects that can do no wrong.  Nature provides many of those subjects and great photo opportunities.

Cloud pictures are always fun to shoot.  They bring out a child like quality in the photographer along with the viewer.   You can imagine yourself as a kid trying find the image that the clouds are forming and this just lets the imagination run wild.

Nature can provide the most scenic canvases when taking photographs.  In this shot you have the crisp blue sky, the puffy clouds the water and the reflection off the water.

Sometimes colors can overcome a weak composition.

Dusk In Edinburg, Texas

Photography is like a canvas, where subject, symetry and colors command your attention and define the photograph to the viewer.

Digital photography offers so many options for post processing the photos, as in the photos  above and below.  They are both the same photos above the original and below a charcoal effect.  
 
Although the post processing options are almost unlimited, I prefer the un-edited shots, as to me they hold a quality that post processing cannot enhance, which I call the "moment".
