I continue to edit my Cally Lily images. I made a few new Impressions of Light images. Here is one of them. Would love to hear your comments!
Cheers, Bill
I haven’t had time to fully edit my Yosemite images from last weekend. Soon, I hope!

Here is another image in my new Cally Lily series, this one from the third day of this setup. As with the previous image, this photograph was made with Photomatix, this time with seven exposures. The morning sun is coming through my window from the upper left hand corner. I first saw this lighting effect on the previous morning, unplanned and unexpected, but I was so revved up I blew the composition. So I noted the time in the EXIF data and returned to try again the next morning. I didn’t move the large blossom, but needed to create better spacing between it and the small flower.
John and I have been using Adobe Photoshop CS5 for about one week, including HDR Pro. I think it has great potential but we haven’t fully explored it yet. More on that later…
I look forward to your comments. Let me know which one you prefer!
Cheers,
Bill

This last weekend, I was mowing my grass (electric mower, not gas!). I noticed a mushroom and picked it. Then I plucked out the stem so I could photograph the radiating pattern. I tried various framing options including full mushroom and black background, partial mushroom in the frame, and filling the frame with the pattern with no black background. As I photographed, it occurred to me that the composition would work well in B&W. It also occurred to me that I might print this very large someday, and that I wanted a square format. So made two frames, one with top half filling my frame, and one with the bottom half, then used photomerge in PS4 to create a higher res, square framed image. The lighting is from my office window. The file size with adjustment layers is 334 MB. Here it is! Let me know your thoughts.
Cheers, Bill

Here is another pier photograph from La Jolla. This was my first session photographing the pier, and my previous post was taken at sunset on the same day. For this image, I used my Singh Ray Vari-ND filter to extend the length of the exposure. I waited for a wave to wash up near my tripod, and then watched for the reflection to develop as the surf pulled back.
Let me know your thoughts on this image, and which Scripts Pier image you like the best. I prefer the sunset image, but still love them both!
Cheers, Bill

Last week, my family and I enjoyed a vacation at the beach. We stayed in La Jolla, a place I’ve been visiting since I was a small kid. Spent one day at Seaworld, and another day at the beach.
I’ve noticed the Scripps Pier for years, and I’ve enjoyed other photographer’s images of piers. But I’d never photographed one before, so this was my main focus on this trip. I photographed at sunrise and sunset. Here is one image I made, when it was nearly dark. I got to the point where my meter would not give me a reading at my desired aperture of f/22 or f/32. I could shoot with a wider aperture, but I would have lost good sharpness on the pier posts. I quickly extrapolated a good exposure, took out my iphone to use its timer. Started the exposure (with a cable release of course) and started the stop watch. f/22 at 76 secs. Focal length was 70mm.
I hope you enjoy this image! Let me know your thoughts…
