Water Drops

Got an idea from a photographer friend so I thought I would give it a try. I suspended a bag of water over a tray of water. Behind the tray was a sheet of paper with color painted on it. As the water dripped from the bag a flash was remotely triggered. The colors from the paper reflected in the water resulting in various patterns. 



Intimate with a Rose

This orange Rose was captured with a macro lens using two lights illuminating the Rose from the side.

Abstracts with Smoke

I wanted to have some fun with smoke so I used incense to create abstract smoke patterns. I illuminated the smoke by hand holding a flash off to the side. As you can see there are some very unique patterns. To complete the composite images I added pastel colors to complete the abstract.This unique image was created by using one of the images below and creating some crazy patterns with software. Every now and then it is fun just to do some playing with things that are very different than the normal work it do.
The softness of this image is very appealing to me.
These two images below are the same image just colored differently.

Soft Focus fall and Spring Images

Normally I strive for sharp images in my landscape photography. Occasionally, an image lends itself  to other techniques. These images have a digital soft focus filter applied to them give a very unique and artistic affect. Sugar Hill N.H. fall tree’s are a tapestry of colors. Softer focus helps enhance the textures of the unique colors.Tulips in Washington state appear painted with soft focus.
This image from central N. H. captures the essence of the state in the fall.
