    Johnnie did a great job guiding us through the park, finding good subject matter, and brought reflectors and lighting so we could try different shots of the same subject and learn about the effects. Great learning event, thank you!

    I rarely delete any of my shots unless there are technical problems that cannot be overcome. When I initially reviewed my shots from this series I wasn't sure what I might do with it but I felt like it was a good capture. This shot was done in studio against a 50 grey backdrop. I used a series of overlays to give it a dreamy background. I hope you enjoy!

    The interesting thing about the background in this photo is how the day unfolded. It had been gray, cold, and sleeting nonstop, with ice steadily accumulating on the branches and power lines, growing heavier by the hour. Remarkably, about an hour before this photo was taken, the sleet stopped, and the clouds began to roll away, almost like a miracle. As the sun set, it cast a warm glow behind the ice-encased trees, creating a stunning glare and lighting effect. The ice on the road added to the s

    This is Craig, a Big Tusker?a term used to describe elephants with exceptionally long tusks. Craig is believed to be the oldest living Big Tusker in Kenya, boasting the longest tusks in the country. At approximately 52 years old, he is a true giant of Amboseli National Park.I was with a group of photographers exploring Amboseli National Park in Kenya when our driver and guide informed us that Craig and his fellow Tusker, Mike, had ventured outside the park and were now in a nearby game prese

    Title or Location: Photo was taken ar the Will Rogers tower in the cultural district of Fort Worth, TX.
    I wanted to shoot the lunar eclipse but at the same time incorporate some quintessential Fort Worth icons into the image for context. I knew I would need to use a very long telephoto to get a large moon but in doing so knew that the rest of the image would need to be some distance from me due to the tunnel vision of the telephoto. I used Photopills and The Photographer?s Ephemeris to plan the shot which was taken with Fuji X system mirrorless equipment.

    Using light and shade to capture the beauty in the harshness of urban industrial architecture. Rekindling a love of black and white photography, I took this photograph whilst on a Brighton Photography Group 'Urban Architecture in Black & White Photography' study event led by Tobias Slater-Hunt. Having spent a winter of dark clouds, rain and dull skies, it was an opportunity to make the most of the year's new beautiful March sunshine.
