There is something about sycamore trees that I really love.

A fantastically beautiful and destructive early snow storm hit New England while most of the trees still had leaves and left us without power for 10 days.

I was lucky I took this when I did because the next day the fountain was emptied for cleaning.

Tybee beach in Savannah, GA. I’m not one for crowded beaches in the middle of the day. We used to go here to watch the sunrise and do yoga on the beach.

I’ve wanted to make one of these mini planets for a while but never really sat down and figured out how to do it. Using a full frame sensor with a fisheye lens was key. Instead of having to stitch together 90+ images it was more like thirty. I’m thinking about trying to do one of these at night and or doing one from the top of a mountain peak.

These are from a recent visit to Franconia Notch State Park. The Panoramic was taken from Mount Lafayette (5,249 ft). It is very large. Check out the full size image on flickr.

It had rained for about three days before this and the clouds were still a little crazy so I thought why not go to my favorite local mountain view and see if I could catch the sunset. That turned out to be an excellent idea! There were two thunderstorms in the distance. The large one in the center was headed our way and every thirty seconds or so we would see a bolt of lightening.

Fall seemed to come so quickly this year.

This is my first panoramic HDR. More to come.

It was taken at the end of an excellent weekend trip up Mt. Marcy (which is not visible in this image). The mountain with the rock faces is Mt. Colden.

After cooking a meal and taking a power nap on top of Colden, we arrived at our campsite in a very nice area. Our tent was a short walk from a dam on the end of a lake with a beautiful view.

I was standing behind the dam in water taking pictures and Tank was sitting on the dam. Tank jumped up, pointed behind me, and yelled “A muskrat!”. I assumed it was a squirrel or something.

The next day we summited Mt. Marcy, took some pictures from the top and started heading down when Tank grabs my arm, points down the trail, and says “Muskrats! There’s two of them right there!”. To which I replied
“Those are bear cubs, and there’s three of them!”.
They scurried back into the woods and we proceeded with our hike. We spent the following 1/2 hour or so having a very loud conversation in an attempt to not spook mama bear if she were nearby.

This really needs to be viewed large to be appreciated!

Located east of Forsyth park in Savannah, GA this tree is estimated to be over 280 years old. It’s trunk is over 16 feet in circumference! This is my latest attempt at an HDR panoramic. I’m really happy with it because it actually looks like I imagined it would. So I’m making progress in developing my process for this type of shot.

This is one of many massive oak trees at “The Oaks” apartments in Savannah, GA. Long exposure HDR shot at night with the moon in the background.

This little guy was running around with the big boys and he was smaller than most house cats. You could see all his ribs and the owners told us when he eats his stomach bulges out and he looks pregnant.
