    This tree is actually one of three growing on a section of the beach. The photo was taken just before sunrise and the orange and blue colors were an unwanted distraction. Black and white seemed the way to go.

    I took this image because of the colors in the sky, Venus and the reflections in the water. I never noticed the Big Dipper until processing it in Lightroom! Walnut Beach always provides me with great photo opportunities.

    I call this picture The Bob Ross because it was a happy accident. I was dropping off some camera gear and while doing so I saw this beautiful landscape. I parked my car walked to the scenery and literally as I went to snap the picture a couple on a boat appeared in front of me. I said this a reminder to myself and other photographers, you don?t need to wait for the perfect shot, just go out and take it.

    Right after a terrific storm, we went outside to see if any damage had been done to the waterfront and were amazed to see the clear lights of the city with a bright moon shining overhead. The peaceful, calm water made it look like not a drop of rain had fallen.

    This cheetah is one of two brothers we sighted roaming Vuyani Reserve during a game ride in 2018. The handheld image is from a Canon 5D4 with a 150-600 telephoto lense and was taken from the back seat of an open top range vehicle. The intense stare from those orange eyes os captivating.
