Series - Celestial

Inspired by Brooke Shaden's art, Promoting Passion.

When we moved to Southern California I was in awe of how visible the solar system is from where we live. We like to go for night rides [motorcycle rides]. When we get up in the mountains the view becomes even more clear. I've always loved the moon and stars. It wasn't until now that I had a good enough camera to capture them.

Below is the start of a series of the celestial view as I see it. The first image is an artistic take on that exact view when I saw it. The second image was made on the same night. The third image is of the Blood Moon with a dot of Mars peering on from above. And the fourth is the August Super Moon.

I'm still working on these. This is where I am with them at present. I'm hoping to come up with more pieces to create a series of 6 or 9 pieces. I started this series in February this year.

The Poppy Concert

The Congregation
The Heart of Poppy
Be Still My Heart
The Entertainer
Last month we made a trip out to the California Poppy Reserve. It was a windy day. The poppies were giving quite a performance. I used a fast shutter speed so that I could grab them in position. I used macro focus on all of them.

They danced for all the spectators. Leaping about and swirling around. They were entertaining.

Photography Visionary-Colby Brown

It's been a while since my last post. Life has been busy around me drawing me this way and that. We moved to a different state. Summer was hot. I got some nice motorcycle riding in. Now, it's time to focus on a new season.

I was invited to watch this video interview live. Colby Brown has some great things to share to anyone interested in doing something more than just capturing moments for memories with photography.

I learned something that I can not just apply to photography, but also apply to business in general.

I love his humbleness.

The video is 51:57 minutes. Take some time when it's convenient and listen in. Even if you're only into photography to capture moments in time for your family album. You'll be glad you did.
