Night time on the Santa Monica Pier and Beach

While at a workshop in Moab, Utah, we drove to Monument Valley and two Navajo brothers demonstrated some of their traditional dances.

This view is as you cross the bridge over the Columbia River, entering Oregon from Washington State.

Delicious Breakfast at French Cafe

Purposely edited to be dreamy looking. From Wooden Shoe Tulip Fields, Oregon

Young active mix breed dog in the park

Strange dog down at the river front, whose owner said I could shoot.

My neighbor's cat came to visit and agreed to a portrait, as long as it was quick.

If you look closely on the right side of the flower, you can see a tiny insect that looks somewhat like a grasshopper

Part of a series I shot of my granddaughter.

Long exposure night shots with bateau going by in the Seine River

This young woman was my barista in a coffee shop, whom I asked to model for me.

Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken on the bottom level of my town home. I'd read a little tutorial on how to set this up and my granddaughter agreed to model for me.

Time

Sometime in the afternoon.

Lighting

Natural window light.

Equipment

Nikon 7000, tripod, macro lens (if I remember correctly). No flash

Inspiration

I'd seen this set up explained in a short tutorial.

Editing

Simple LR post-processing, change to B&W

In my camera bag

Now I use a Sony A7III. I have several lenses.

Feedback

You need a willing model; plate of clean plexiglass (or regular glass but it's heavy) sprayed with Rain-ex ; mini blinds and some way to keep them upright; spray bottle to make the rain drops; good natural light.
