Iris

I haven’t shared a flower in awhile and it IS that time of year.  I was on Mr. Toad’s wild ride this week with pre-moving chores.  But when my artists group headed out to El Rancho de las Golondorinos I had to carve out a few hours to join them.  I was expecting to be… Continue reading Iris

Bicycle

This week’s photo shoot was cancelled due to windy showery weather so I had to revert to last weeks images from the Quaker Garden in Santa Fe.

Colors of New Mexico

When the weather interferes with my plans, as it did this week, I find myself trolling through the files looking for images that I might process differently based on new skills or new software.  This one was shot at Ghost Ranch in Northern New Mexico back in November of 2006.  Out of the camera the… Continue reading Colors of New Mexico

Christmas Lights

This week’s photography consisted of a couple of strolls around the neighborhood to photograph Christmas Lights. Once in awhile you just know as soon as you push the shutter release button that you’ve nailed it.  So it was with this image.  I did adjust the exposure slightly in levels and cropped off some distracting lights… Continue reading Christmas Lights
