A favorite from my archives, this was taken while walking with a Canon PowerShot past a large
shrub covered with lights. I swung the camera up, down and around. Exposure was 1.6 seconds.

luminaria
A nice surprise at a Luminaria celebration last night. A small skating rink with professionals giving quite a show.
Another surprise was looking at my photos last night and finding a photographer friend of mine in most of them.
I was so entranced by the skaters that I didn’t notice him standing directly opposite me on the other side of the rink 🙂
Shooting handheld at ISO 6400, the images are noisy but Topaz’ noise software did a great job of minimizing it.
Hope they have the rink again next year. I’ll be ready with a faster lens!
chihuly abstracts
A shot created by moving my camera during exposure.
If you squint, you might be able to make out Chihuly’s work 🙂
These “scorpion tails” are all over the garden but I have yet
to get a shot I’m happy with so I usually end up experimenting
with filters. Here I played with Framing Pear’s Mr. Contrast.
shaken and stirred
A sequence of shots showing the fun you can have photographing in low light. The first image was a straight shot holding the camera as steady as I could. The rest are a result of shaking and slightly moving the camera in multiple directions. I wouldn’t say I never use a tripod but photography is so much more fun without it 🙂
liquid sand
I had a very early errand this morning so I grabbed this shot from my car window.
What you’re looking at is a sandy wash with some debris and small shrubs.
(ISO 100, 1/4th sec at f/27, 200mm)
drive-bys
Drive-bys are much easier to capture if you’re a passenger. This was taken just as the sun went below the horizon.
