Will.I.Am

Playing with wireless triggers for my flash. I talked William into a single pose. Not bad! (The triggers work perfectly too!)

Just Touching

I caught this big guy lumbering around the harbor in Newport, OR last weekend. He was fun to watch and I was surprised to see this wingtip in the water. Cool.

Harsh Reality

Not always can we simply post pretty pictures. Sometimes something in stark contrast catches my eye, and here it is. It is not a bad thing. I tell William that when something dies it is food for something else, as is the case here. Death renews life. A seagull is a pretty bird and amazingly graceful. Many simply see them as scavengers, rats of the sky. I'd like to see them for what they are.

Sunset: Enhanced

Again, the Yaquina Bay Bridge but with heavy use of Lightroom adjustments. Highly satruated colors and great reflections. I like it!

Sunset under the Bridge

Newport, Oregon: The Yaquina Bay Bridge at sunset the last night of cloud free sky. Taken from the docks opposite old town and near the aquarium. It was hard to stitch this pano because I don't have software on this computer. :-(

Duck!

He was taking a leisurely walk and foraging through the flower beds at a local park. I was quite a distance but he was still skittish.

Eye of the Boy

Daffodils

Creatively lit by flash from below and behind left and some fill from the right. Different I thought. And with so many daffodil photos generally taken, a new perspective (for me at least) is needed.

Sunrise Shadow

This was an interesting sunrise on the way in today, with the shadow of a mountain on the clouds. This is 2 images stitched into a panorama.

UPDATE: I believe that is the shadow of Mt. Jefferson in the Cascade Range, Oregon.

Reflections

I could not ignore the colors on the water last night. This is looking at Salem, OR from the parking lot of Lowe's towards Mission street. I had forgotten my tripod and exposure was around 5 seconds. I did have my gorillapod and strapped it to the fence....

New power supply, Photos released from hostage situation

It is amazing how the world can stop for some things when the computer breaks! All fixed now and I have a willow pic to prove it. Going strobist too. Shot in the daylight with one bare flash to the left and fast shutter speed to darken the background. I have always shot flash off camera and having wireless capabilities is awesome.
