Hosta Leaves, Kitchener, Ontario, Canada 2011

Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III__EF24-105mm f/4L IS USM__1/15 sec at f / 16__ISO 400

Last week, I was in the Toronto area with my family for a wedding.  I brought along my camera and a few lenses in case I found inspiration.  Staying at our  family’s home,  I took a short walk about their property on a drizzly day.  I am not sure if these plants are hosta, or maybe veratrum, but I know I loved the patterns.  Does anyone know the common and/or latin name?

New Morning Light Image – Spring Oak, Coarsegold, California 2011

Wednesday, May 4th, 2011

This morning, I photographed a wonderful spreading oak tree with brilliant morning sunlight.  Since the contrast was strong and I was aiming into the sun, I made seven exposures with .5 stops between frames.  After importing the files in Lightroom, I applied the Lens Correction for my Canon 16-35mm zoom, then exported to Nik HDR Efex Pro.  I just started using this software so am slowing learning the many processing options it offers and exploring its potential for me. So far, so good!

Enjoy!  Bill

Happy Earth Day! / Buckeye and Oaks, Foothills of the Sierra Nevada, California 2011

Friday, April 22nd, 2011

Happy Earth Day!  Today is a day to honor the beauty of our Earth, and reflect upon how we can live our lives that will best preserve this sacred creation we live on.  In 1976, I received a BA in Environmental Conservation from the University of Colorado.  I look back and sometimes wish I have done more to protect Nature in my daily lives, but I know I have tried to do my best.  I will try to do more.  As an artist, I hope to create images that reveal the magic and wonder of what I see around me.  Thanks to all who enjoy my photography and sense the passion that I have for my subjects.

Peace,  Bill

Pear Blossoms, Coarsegold, California 2011

Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III__EF70-200mm f/2.8L USM__1/4 sec at f / 4.5__ISO 100__FILTER: Singh Ray Vari-ND

Here is a newly processed image, made in March, from the same Coarsegold, CA location I’ve earlier posted on my blog: http://bit.ly/fJHRRw.  I made the image above with low-angle sunlight on the first morning, then returned the next morning when the light was flatter.  Below is the image from the second morning.  Which one do you like better?
