Candid shot. She has beautiful skin.

This is not my dog, but I would consider one just like him. He is extremely smart and faithful. And, surprisingly, he does not shed all over the hou

With a monsoon approaching, my hubby and I drove to a location where we could watch the lightning all around us through the windshield of our truck.

I was challenged to capture a macro image that begins with the letter "P". I try to capture unique images, not current trends. Since I hav

Along the Colorado River near Needles, California.

When I shot this photo, there was no way to know that it would be Sherri's last evening on earth. So the next day when I learned of her passing,

I took several shots while standing on the shore with my Canon 55-250 lens. Timing was perfect for this shutter click.

Beef Sticks

Filamentary

Lightning striking in the distance, about 20 miles away. I used my "nifty 50" lens with a remote shutter release to capture this.

Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken by the Ventura Harbor Marina as the sun was setting.

Time

Sunset

Lighting

I was hoping to achieve a nice silhouette of the sailboat masts against the orange sky.

Equipment

I hand held my Canon EOS T2i (Rebel) and used a polarizing filter at 55mm, f/8.0, 1/200 sec.

Inspiration

I love orange sunsets and silhouettes. Living near the beach, I often get ready with my gear in case there should be an outstanding photo op.

Editing

I cropped some of the foreground, slightly darkened the shadows to enhance the silhouette, and burned down the lamp post so it wasn't as bright.

In my camera bag

That day, I simply brought my camera, lens and filter. No bag or tripod.

Feedback

The sun sets quickly so take several test shots and tweak your manual settings as you click before the sun says goodnight.
