Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III__TS-E90mm f/2.8__1/30 sec at f / 22__ISO 200
Practice, practice…
I’ve been very frustrated lately because I haven’t been able to get out of the office and up to Yosemite for waterfalls, reflections in the meadow, corn lilies in the high country. Fortunately, my water lilies are in bloom and I check them out every day. We had an amazing rain storm Tuesday night and the next morning, and so I took a lunch break on my patio. My water lilies had been washed clean and were gleaming with water drops. I used my trusty 90mm Tilt Shift lens, making two frames to merge into this square composition using Photo Merge in Photoshop CS5. The storm was starting to clear, with the sun on the edge of a cloud which gives this image a fresh and sparkling mood.
So when I finally get up to Yosemite Valley next week, I’ll have had recent practice. Practice seeing every day, get your camera out whenever and wherever you get inspired, and be ready for the next opportunity. Oh yes, and it might just happen in your back yard!
Enjoy, Bill

Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III__EF70-200mm f/2.8L USM__2.0 sec at f / 19__ISO 100
I have been very overwhelmed with work and thus have a large backlog of images to process. I made this image last month at Happy Isle in Yosemite, which is an amazing place anytime but especially during high water. This subtle image is part of my ongoing efforts to reveal the Inner Yosemite! I hope you enjoy it and also hope to post more new work soon.

Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III__EF70-200mm f/2.8L USM__1.5 sec at f / 22__ISO 100
For the past couple of months, I have been watching this calla plant growing in my living/dining room area. The light comes through two different windows to light the leaves to various effect. This past Sunday, I finally saw a composition worth setting up for. I hung up my black piece of velvet on the wall behind these leaves. I left my camera set up and made frames when I saw interesting light. I downloaded the images, looked at the new images, and was not particularly inspired by the results.
Yesterday, four days later, I looked at the images again with Lightroom. Then it hit me that there was real potential here, made several adjustments to this image, including converting the image to BW. Bingo! I polished up the file this morning in Photoshop this morning. Here is the result!
Enjoy, Bill

Aspen in late afternoon light, Conway Summit, California 2010
I have been neglecting my blog lately due being too darn busy! To see my most recent posts and images, also check here: William Neill Photography
Here is a new image, made last Friday afternoon. It was simply gorgeous, with amazing clouds over the Sierra peaks freshly counted with a fall snow.
I was working against windy conditions, and the aspen were moving most the whole session. I turned up my ISO so I could use a shutter speed to spot the leaf action. This was the reason I took a few hundred frames here, which also included 7 frame brackets when including the very bright clouds. Started using Nik’s HDR Effect today, which looks great so far. I will post images soon.
Enjoy! Bill
