Singled Out Series: Color

Singled Out Series: Color

I’ve previously written an entire series about color in nature photography but this time I’m going to concentrate on using color to make your subject stand out. For the most part color in nature isn’t something we can control. As a photographer all you can do is observe it and capture it, which can make [...]

The one I didn’t miss!

The one I didn’t miss!

I was reading all of the comments about fences in our photo’s, and this shot came to mind. Let me explain…I was in downtown Millville, getting ready to load my tools and move to the next job, when I just happened to look over a fence into the yard next to me. There about five [...]

This is the first of a four part series discussing and showing examples of different techniques and methods a photographer can use to “Single Out” a subject in a nature photograph.

The Search for “Close” in My Nature Photo Catalog

Tonight I was sitting in front of my computer kinda bored, and I decided to glance through my photos to come up with something to post here. I typed in a search in my Lightroom catalog “close” just to see what would come up. To my surprise a series of really eye catching photos filled [...]

The cone flower is a summer treat in my gardens. The tiny seed heads remind me of little candles. This flower is a bird magnet to my yard. I love the color and texture of this flower and I hope you enjoy it as well.

Nature’s Colors Series: Yellow

The last and final color in the nature’s colors series, yellow. It can be both subtle and bright, it’s another quite common natural color, at least some hue of yellow. It’s so close to shifting to orange or red in a sunset but it’s there. A yellow bird can easily blend into it’s surroundings or [...]

Passion

Passion

This delicate blossom can only be a vision of Nature at it’s finest. I think the passion flower is a statement that only Nature can bring to the eye. I have been told that it looks like a ballerina or a dancing dervish. I find the pattern and color to be whimsicle and inviting. To [...]
