Lake Placid Murals

 

Casual Ports

Good light comes in all forms. I wasn't planning on taking a picture at this moment and then I realized the lighting was perfect on Wendy's mother as she was casually talking and laughing with Wendy. An incandescent lamp lit her up from the front right and great back light coming from the left behind her. With a wider f- stop 2.8 to blur the background made this a wonderful casual portrait. 
 

Outside the Box

 This is a mural on the wall outside a bank in Lake Placid. It's probably photographed a million times a year. For a slight twist I leaned across the hood of a black SUV to get this reflection in my image.

No Swimming Allowed

 Alligator named Ben lurking in the canals of Port Charlotte, Fl. The rippled water gives the image a watercolor painting effect.  I am almost sure he's harmless.

Low Key Portraits

One light portrait with home made slotted cardboard hand held in front of light to get the desired effect.

 

Food Photography

 

Wendy baked a loaf of home made bread today. It is an oatmeal, flax seed, chia seed concoction that she made up in her mind and it tasted fantastic. Probably healthy for me too. Anyway it looked so nice I thought I'd photograph it in my studio for a little practice.  I used two LED lights with an added frosted light dome modifier mounted over each lens.  Also and over head fluorescent light from the ceiling provided a small amount of ambient light.  The counter top in the background was added later in Photoshop 2025.
