Scarlet and Grey

This image came out pretty good. Grey is the toughest color to image. No doubt some of you may wonder where the grey is in the picture. That means your monitor is calibrated differently than mine. Whatever the colors I love the swirls in the background.


Let me tell ya, at f2.0 the LensBaby is a bear to focus! To get this image I stood on a rickety picnic table and the wind was blowing the leaves.

More leaves - I can't stop

Only another week and one of the best falls for photography will be over. Then I'll stop this craziness with leaf images.


This image was captured on Fields Rd. in Bainbridge Township, OH.

Soon it will be barren and desolate as winter sets in across Northeast Ohio. Anyone willing to pay for me to take a trip to someplace exciting? Tuscany? Morocco? Cabo?

Leaves and camera

*** CLICK ON ANY IMAGE TO ENLARGE ***

Why do fall leaves and digital cameras go so well together? Take a look!


This grove of trees were so spectacular I almost parked in the middle of the road to shoot them. The sky looks great and with my handy polarizer filter the blue sky looks glorious.


A nice contrast of a barren tree in the foreground against a beautiful tree in the background.

Loving those leaves

This may be one of the best fall seasons ever. The leaves won't peak for another week. These images are from Holden Arboretum. Enjoy!

It's Fall Color Time. Yeah!!!

Finally, the leaves are turning color and it looks like it will be a spectacular fall in Northeast Ohio. I've been in a photo drought lately and this is a good time to get the shutters clicking again.

These images were taken at beautiful Holden Arboretum in Lake County. Enjoy!



Ahhh, wet weather, colorful leaves and the LensBaby. The trick with the LensBaby is not to get so focused about the focus (pretty puny aren't I?). It's very tricky to focus anyway. You have only a single plan of focus and if you hit it then you're pretty lucky. If I want sharpness I can use the 50mm but I wouldn't get the unique LensBaby "bokeh" in the background.

The trick is the creation of the overall effect. I love the colors of the main subject but what is even better is the background which wants to jump out and be part of the main subject! Note the light bubbles in the center right of the image. Where did they come from except from a LensBaby?
