Watercolor

The Great Blue Heron of Sarah P. Duke Gardens. This heron was not people shy and came quite close to myself and others as several geese were being fed bread by some children. On a couple of occasions, the heron sqawked loudly and struck out at some geese when they got to close. So, needless to say, when the heron started walking toward me I became a bit weary. It was about 3 feet away from me when it struck down into the water and came up with a small catfish. It was a pretty amazing thing to see.! This image is one of several that I took on Saturday morning. I decided to represent this photo as a watercolor. Hope you like!

Full Moon in September

Went outside with the camera and tripod and captured a few moon photos. This was with my DiMAGE Z5, almost zoomed to the max. I hope to take a few photos of the moon when I get my 2x Telephoto lens, which will hopefully be delivered sometime soon this week.

Perspective Possibility

This was one of the possible perspective shots that I didn't submit. It probably would have done better that my current one, but I didn't think it was strong enough for the Perspective challenge on http://www.dpchallenge.com. Oh well, I like it! As for what it is...it's an old alarm on my apartment building. (I live in an old, renovated tobacco warehouse in Downtown Durham)

15 Cent Diner

One of my better photos from when I first started getting into photography. This particular one was very popular with the people who attended our (Jen and myself) photo exhibit. Sold a few prints of this. I have actually worked on it a bit, I've learned alot since the time I first printed this image. As for where it is located, it sits in a courtyard by the Durham Bulls Ballpark in Durham, NC.

Doggy Portrait

Portrait of Camir, my chocolate labrador retriever. I did a lot of post editing to this. Cropped out the background and rendered clouds. Smudged the outside of the fur against the background to blend. Duplicated the layer and adjusted the brightness of the background. Put image through a filter by Virtual Photographer, B&W/Flashback. And Voila...my own Puppy Portrait!

Buttermilk Falls in Peekamoose, NY Dec '04

Last December, we drove up to Highland Lake, NY for Christmas. On one of our free days, we decided to drive up to a friend's house and went through Peekamoose, NY. We stopped at one of the falls on the "narrow, windy" road to see the ice accumulating near the edge of the falls itself and around the water's edge as it flowed down the mountain. This photo was taken with an older digital camera and was edited using Photoshop Elements 2.

Flower's Spotlight

On one of our walks with the dog, we walked by a bunch of yellow flowers by the sidewalk. With a little bit of Photoshop editing, I was able to give the flower the spotlight it deserved. Hope you like it!

Experimental Motion

This photo was taken in a dark room with somebody using a lighted toy bought from the Barnum&Bailey circus. Came up with some cool photos by using longer shutter speeds.

Bee at Duke

This bee was taking pollen from one of many flowers at Sarah P. Duke Gardens near Duke University.
