Bodie- Billiards

One of my favorite places is Bodie State Park. A while back I was able to do some interior photography and this is one of the images I liked. As far a I know they don’t offer interior shoots anymore, so I feel quite lucky to have had the opportunity.

Einer meiner Lieblingsorte ist der Bodie State Park. Vor einiger Zeit konnte ich einige Innenaufnahmen machen und dies ist eines der Bilder, die mir gefallen haben. Soweit ich weiß, bieten sie keine Innenaufnahmen mehr an, daher bin ich sehr glücklich, die Gelegenheit dazu gehabt zu haben.

Study in Translucency


I picked a rose petal, water beds and pomegranate seeds and arranged them on a light box. All three have different levels of translucency and I was curious what kind of image I would be able to create. I started out photographing a high key stack using my 180mm macro lens. then I used layers and masking techniques to create this image where I spent a lot of time on the pomegranate seeds. As a final touch I changed the background in LAB color mode from white to black.

Enjoy and keep on photographing!

Pumpkin Patch

Every year a local family opens up their beautiful property to the the children in our area for a “pumpkin patch” complete with rides, old fashioned games, animals and really great food. There is every variety of pumpkin, squash, and gourd that one could possibly think of for sale plus other fall fruits. The kids enjoy the fun and the parents enjoy beautiful surroundings. A true pleasure to visit.
