Well, here we go into another week. This time, I have dug into my Scotland folder and came out with this image of a lone boat on Kinlochlevin . This was made as we were leaving the village to continue our travels. This image has actually had a couple of incarnations over the years, but I like this one the best. I have softened the scene considerably and I absolutely love the water. Minimalistic images have a way of grabbing you for some reason. I hope you like it.

This is an image I have always loved. Abstracts are a lot of fun to work with sometimes, I love being creative with light and shadow. I hear people talking about recovering shadow and I often wonder why as the shadow can also be part of the story. Maybe my tastes are just a little darker than some, not sure.

“The Tree” has lived in this field for a very long time. It shows signs of distress but that’s character, right? I’ve observed it for my whole life and noticed all it’s different looks depending on light or weather. I find it interesting how things change when it’s environment changes. Different people see different things of course, but when I look at this tree, I see a character. This was made during a freak snowstorm in April when everything became white for a brief time again. I love the feel and the textures and with the soft processing, it is a pleasing portrait that I was very pleased to be there to capture.

This is yet another long forgotten photo from my archives. In these complicated times, a lot of people have been looking through some older folders and re-working some older stuff that didn’t get used for one reason or another. I look at it as a chance to learn new techniques.

I was playing around with a studio strobe and found a good little model, one of my granddaughters. This is a one light shot, using a small umbrella. I definitely need to get some other modifiers to use but I still like this shot. I think it captures her personality which was the intent.
