Black and White

It's been a little while since I last posted any pictures. Here are a few black and white photos that I have taken in the past couple of years. Now that spring is here I will be able to get out and get newer photos.

Experiments With Lighting

I was experimenting with light on this series of photos of a flower from an arrangement I got for my wife. I find it very interesting how the position of the flash can change the photo in some very surprising ways.

In this photo the light is behind the arrangement

This photo the light is directly behind and pointing into the flower

I flooded the flower from all around, in front and behind

I put the lights on both the left and right side

This photo is with the light on the camera

Park Pictures On Occoquan Creek

These are pictures that I took when I first purchased my Nikon D-3000 camera. These structures are in a park across the Occoquan Creek from the quaint little town of Historic Occoquan, Virginia.

Nags Head Early Morning

Last summer while in Nags Head N.C. I got up early one morning and had a very exciting adventure sitting on the beach with my camera ready! These are in order as the sun rose above the horizon.
