My New Goal this Year is...

I have decided this year I am going to learn to do macro photography and do it well. You probably don't recognize this image but for lack of interesting subjects I shot this poinsettia bud today. Poinsettia's don't have flowers so bud probably isn't the proper term, but its the tip of a branch. You can see where some leaves have broken off and apparently mold is growing. I need to get rid of this thing soon. The subject in question is 2 millimeters across and very small. I used seventeen images focus stacked in photoshop cc to get the entire tip in sharp focus. This was just a quick run thru and I see I need to fine tune my technique a bit. Be patient with me as this is my first attempt, but soon I shall be doing some impressive images.

Bird Kingdom in Niagara Falls, Canada... Workshop

Some images I took of captive wild and exotic birds at a workshop I attended in Canada this week. Bird Kingdom is located right next to the Rainbow Bridge and is an excellent place to learn and practice your photography skills.

Lighthouse Sunrise

We arrived early before opening hours, so I used my time to walk around the outside of Tybee Lighthouse to capture this great sunrise image. Tybee Island Lighthouse, Georgia.
