12.26.2020 Stillness on Saturday

I hope everyone enjoyed the holiday yesterday.  We had a quiet day at home staying dry while we received about 2″ of rain.  If it had been snow we would have been blizzarded. Should be some nice waterflow out there … Continue reading

After shooting the ice coated tree yesterday, I waited as the sun broke the horizon behind the trees hoping for a nice starburst.  Rather than the 16-35 I usually use for that, I mounted the 50mm Zeiss and got a … Continue reading

08.06.2018 Sunrise Surprise

Pretty thick fog in the neighborhood and all the way to New Salem I could see the fog rolling up the windshield as the aerodynamics of a moving vehicle carried it over my car. Really wasn’t expecting much as I … Continue reading

09.08.2016 Quabbin Birch Clump and Star

08.10.2016 Another spectacular New Salem sunrise

I made several exposures (times three for HDR) of sunrise from this well-visited spot.  I had posted one on Facebook which had required a fair amount of flare removal and I can see a few artifacts so will probably cast … Continue reading
