Great Falls, Infrared style
Just realized that I had never posted the shot that I was setting up when I made a friend at Great Falls Park. Terrible oversight… I’m not entirely happy with the result, I have to say. I had read online that my camera wasn’t a great fit for IR, but since I love IR and I don’t want to switch cameras, I… Continue reading

Going in Another Direction

Going in Another Direction
After all the night shots, I think it’s time for a bright, daytime shot. So I’m driving down in the South of the US, looking for a place to eat some local food. Surprisingly, the options are limited to crappy fast food joints, which I don’t really enjoy. Continue reading

Last Night Shot in Rome
Ok, this is the last one. Completing the round trip through Rome, I walked by the river and saw this church. With the light inside, the tree right over me, I couldn’t resist. Continue reading

Another Night Shot in Rome
I guess this starts to give an idea of how much I walked that night. Now at the Fontana di Trevi, I had to fight to get a clear shooting position. With all the tour groups, wedding parties, and the not that polite people around me, it was quite the challenge to find a spot where: Continue reading

Ceasar and Me
You never know what you are going to find during a night walk (which is probably one of the things that attract me so much). In my case, after more than 10 miles, 2 batteries completely drained and a serious calf ache the next morning, what I came home with were some nice shots, like this one. Continue reading

If you have it, all the rest is secondary
This one was taken in Charleston, SC. Charleston is a lovely city, with views of the river, nearby beaches, old buildings, great food, and even better weather. Basically, all you can wish for in a weekend trip. As I walked through the heart of the city, I came across an old cemetery. Continue reading

Moonrise Over the Sculpture Garden

Moonrise Over the Sculpture Garden
As a beautiful day of beer, wine, cheese and jazz at the Sculpture Garden winded down, I noticed that the clouds to the East were nowhere near as thick as the ones to the West. Usually, I will know what phase the Moon is in, but this night was at the end of a rather busy week and I had no idea what our satellite was doing. Little did I know… Continue reading

Hanging On
This leaf apparently didn’t get the memo that it’s Fall. Although all shriveled, it’s still hanging on for a few more days before it joins its siblings on the ground. I don’t think the persistence will pay off, but it’s an admirable quality… 

Made a Friend at Great Falls!

Made a Friend at Great Falls!
So there I am, setting up an Infrared shot by the river at Great Falls Park when I hear a rustling sound. Very faint, but there’s definitely a rustle in the dead leaves that litter the floor. At this point, it’s already close to 1000, so the park is a bit more lively than when I arrived, but I’m a long way up the Heritage Trail and I had seen very… Continue reading

Crocodile Log
I’ve seen crocodiles that look like logs, that’s a pretty standard trick for crocodiles. But this was the first time I saw a log that looked like a crocodile. Guess there’s a first time for everything…
