No Lifeguard on Duty   1 comment

Our local beach at the end of the day, after everyone has left. I love it when we have it all to ourselves!

This bench overlooks our local beach and is my favorite spot to spend time alone.

Night on Clinton Beach   4 comments

It was such a beautiful night after a day of 90 degrees that I went to the beach at midnight, only to finally look at my watch and realize I had spent 2 hours taking pictures and playing around with my flashlight.

Amsterdam at Night   9 comments

I had the pleasure of having a professional photographer named Tom show me around Amsterdam at night, and teach me about night photography. I arranged it through Photo tours of Amsterdam, and was extremely happy with the tour, which lasted from 10:15pm (when it was still light out) until 1:45am. I can highly recommend it. Here are some samples from that night’s work. Click on any one picture to see them in slideshow format.

Magical Sunset   Leave a comment

I love how the clouds disperse the sun’s rays late in the afternoon on overcast days:

Winter be damned!   Leave a comment

After so many posts of frozen flowers, icy ponds, snowy trees and wind-swept beaches, I decided I HAD to post something sunny and warm. Here’s our beach in the summer – a far cry from the empty and icy beach it is now. Can’t wait for summer!

Goodbye, Lovely Vermont   1 comment

Tomorrow ends my last winter visit to Stowe, VT. Haven’t taken too many pictures lately because I feel like I’ve exhausted the possibilities, and because skiing has taken precedence. But here are a few that I liked from this week:

Storm over Devils Tower   3 comments

I shot these pictures as a storm was developing near Devils Tower in Wyoming. I had to rush to get into a position where the storm clouds and the sunset converged, and made it just in the nick of time:

This is what you see when you approach the National Monument from the south:

These windmills look pretty indestructible to me, and are about 20 times bigger than an old-fashioned windmill.

I’ve started using Nik Color Efex to enhance some of my photos. This is a good example what that software can do for a mediocre picture (original below):

It’s now so cold that the saltwater is freezing, leaving interesting ice formations on the beach at low tide.
