Saxophone Musician in Market Square Knoxville Tennessee

I actually turned this black and white photo into a drawing using the filter in photoshop Find Edges. This does not work with most of my images but this image had the right amount of simplified lines to pull it off.

Red Out of focus Christmas Lights

Any time you put a light source out of focus it will ballon up in size. This works well when doing close up work with the sun in the background. Remember that you have to take the camera off auto focus in order to do this trick.

Stink Bug Painted With a Small Flash Light

It was late in the evening just starting to get dark when I noticed a stink bug on a bright red dogwood leave.  There was not much light to really see detail.  I thought maybe a flash light could help. I painted the bug with my  small flash light with the camera set on f-18 at 5 seconds and ISO 100. Check out the antennae the only thing that shows any movement in the long exposure. Of course I used a very sturdy tripod and hoped for no wind.

I matched the warm existing light with a studio strobe  with a warming filter  to reveal more detail of the piano.

I alway say you do not need to go far to find subjects worthy of photographing. Jut get off the couch and go outside with your camera.

Milky Way Foothills Parkway Tennessee

The Milky Way from Foothills Parkway  is one of the best places to star gaze in Blount County because of the absents of street lights.
