This image is one that I stole, well I didn\u2019t steal it, but Chuck Barnes did one like it at a workshop\u00a0in Savannah, turned it in for review and when I saw it I said, I love it and you will tell me where you shot it!\u00a0 He took me to the location and I shot a very similar image, I loved the shot and wanted to capture it myself, but it\u2019s not really my shot! \u00a0So I\u2019m giving myself permission to add an extra shot in the blog entry, and for this one congratulate Chuck!<\/span><\/p>\n

I was speaking at the Florida Bird gathering a few years ago and one of the instructors brought a big selection of reptiles and set them up in a classroom for us to photograph.\u00a0 He had the proper plants to pose them on and all we had to do was move from station to station to photograph them.\u00a0 Most people were using flash, but I wanted to make a less contrasty image so I used the X-T1 with the 55-200 zoom and a Nikon 5T Diopter, I had to shoot at ISO 6400 to get enough shutter speed to handhold, but the noise was very low in the final file!\u00a0 This is much better than fighting mosquitos and snakes to do it in Costa Rico!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This shot made in northern Ohio during one of mine and Jack\u2019s Amish Photography Workshops. \u00a0It was a fantastic morning with great fall color and thick fog, when I look at this image it reminds me of what a great time I\u2019ve had teaching and shooting with Jack! Sometimes it is better to be lucky than good!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I don’t know what it is about this image that appeals so much to me. \u00a0It was shot at Nelson Ghost Town just south of Las Vegas. \u00a0i love the texture differences between the gleaming chrome on the bicycle, and the rough texture of the wood and rusty signs.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When jack and I teach workshops on either coast we love to knock around the fishing docks, this dingy was a great pale blue color and someone had left a orange life jacket on the seat, it was a perfect set-up for the kind of imaI love to make, design and color of color sake!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Shot very recently when Dr. Paul Pedersen and I went up for a flight in his Gruman American airplane, on our final approach I got the shot with my iPhone and I love the red cowling of \u00a0his plane and the beautiful sight of the runway stretched out right in from of us on final approach. \u00a0This is my home airport and I’ve flown out of here a number of times!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Number of years ago I was attending an ISAP Meeting (International Association of Aerial Photographers) and we got the chance to see and photograph the brand new “First” F-35. \u00a0They set up a metal stairs so we could get a unique angle on the plane, and i chose to concentrate my shot on just the canopy! \u00a0Not many people outside the hard core aviation community even new about this plane then, it is now in full service!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hope you enjoyed these and as a final thing I have two mages to share with you, the one I made and the one I created, not sure how I feel bout the one with an added sky, I love it, but I can’t bring my self to do it! \u00a0You can fire off for thoughts!<\/span><\/p>\n
