The original infrared photo was taken September 2015 with my inexpensive converted pocket camera. I love infrared and oftentimes think I'd love to get a much better IR camera with full spectrum color ( Read more... )

On Tuesday I tripped and fell. I am banged up and sore on my right side, and my head hitting the corner is what stopped me from sliding further, but nothing broken, at least on my body. My camera didn’t fare as well though. Or I’ll say my camera body seems to be in working order except for some scrapes along the side and bottom, but my favorite ( Read more... )

Down to just a few days before my sister gets here on Sunday. I still have my studio tables to clean off, clean bathrooms, wash towels and sheets. I got a few groceries this morning of things I think we would like to eat while she is here. Pete bought two webbed beach chairs for us last night, because I know we’ll be spending time some at the ( Read more... )

I’ve been down for a few days . . . well, since my sister left. She came for a week with her son Jules and two grandkids Sebby & Rossy, for a vacation. Seems she was here and gone in a flash. It had been two long years since we'd seen each other ( Read more... )

First, I didn't think much about it, then I started getting excited and looking forward to it, and now....less than three days away, I am dreading it.

Book Club is here on Wednesday and ( Read more... )

I thought I would leave the actual eclipse shots to the professionals, and so far I have seen some pretty awesome ones! I did have a pair of didymium glasses I used to use for looking inside the glass kiln, but I was more interested in the light effects that were supposed to be seen around you during the eclipse, intensifying more and more as it ( Read more... )

I went on a Shutter Stroll at Emerson Point Preserve in Palmetto on Saturday morning with about 10 other photographers. We started at 8:00 and were done by 10. It was hot despite the heavy clouds, and so humid everything was dripping as if it had just rained, but it hadn't, and as soon as we got off the boardwalks and into the woods, the ( Read more... )

An Infrared Oasis,
a little off the beaten path
and a very special place 2B.

Priscilla and I went to the new Perico Preserve yesterday. Beautiful place, I’ve never seen so many shallow bodies of water before in one place. We set out on foot, no bikes. We found out biking is only allowed in about 2/3s of the place ( Read more... )
