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
Dogwood blooming, Yosemite National Park, California 2005
I have been busy with the “day to day” of running my business, including making new images. I hope to post soon, so stay tuned!
This month’s Featured Print is “Dogwood blooming, Yosemite National Park, California 2005″ shown to the left. I created this image five years ago. My EXIF date shows that I was at 370mm. It took a great deal of patience, and many frames, to get a sharp exposure since the branch was suspended over a very tumultuous Merced River! I’ve printed and sold 20×30″ prints and the quality holds up very well.

This Special Edition image is an archival inkjet print, sized to 9″ x 6″ on Ilford Galerie Gold Fibre Silk Paper, matted and mounted to 11″x14″ on archival museum board. The print will be initialed by me, not signed. The series will be unlimited in quantity andnumbered sequentially on the label.
With each collectible Special Edition released, you can build a fine art portfolio of my photographs at a very reasonable cost. And the best part…it’s only $40!
KInd regards, 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
