Fall Colors
A friend started with ICM (intentional camera movement) photography. She inspired me to do the same. Enjoy the beautiful Fall colors we have in Merced, CA
Succulent
I photographed this succulent in my neighborhood. Enjoy!
Fall in Yosemite National Park
Last Sunday I had the opportunity to photograph in Yosemite Valley. Fall has definitely arrived. The dogwood trees are turning beautifully red. The waterfalls carry less water and the clouds are hanging on top of the cliffs. It feels different in the Fall than the Summer. Enjoy the collage!
Morning Myst at Shaver Lake
Last weekend I had the opportunity to photograph at Shaver Lake. The Lake ist located in between Yosemite NP and Kings Canyon at roughly 5500 feet elevation. While the daytime temperature was around 70f, the night were cold. We got up before sunrise and started photographing. Enjoy one of my favorite images.
Beginning of Autumn
Autumn has arrived in Merced. It is not quite as hot in Central California and the days are definitely getting shorter. The trees are slowly beginning to change. I took a walk this morning and I was trying to document that change.
Biking the Streets of Merced
The are random images of Merced’s street. I mounted the camera on a selfi stick and used the interval function of the camera to record an image every three seconds while I was biking through town. In post I picked these images and created the collage. Enjoy!
Making Music – Playing Conga Drums
“Music” is quite difficult to photograph since you can’t see it. Therefore I wanted as much as possible a blurry picture. When you listen to music time passes so I decided on motion blur. Then I experimented with the exposure time. I had the camera mounted on a tripod and settled for 1/10 of a second. Next consideration was the light source. I experimented with a video light and two light wands. I used purple light on one of the wands to create a contrast between hands and body. Finally I converted the image to black and white. Again the idea was to take away as much as possible visual elements. Enjoy!
Halloween is coming
Seen in Merced, CA. Enjoy!
Impressionistic Tree
I discovered this blooming tree at an apartment complex in Merced, CA. I took 11 exposures walking in a semi circle around the tree. In post production I combined and aligned the exposures using different blending modes. Enjoy!
