Photo of the Month Archive

Some of you may have noticed that I have not posted any images for a few months. As you may know I have moved to Fort Collins, Colorado, and I have been busy doing web development for a company out there. I am in the process of setting up a studio and getting clients, so I have not had a lot of extra time to take photos for the site as well as post them. Please check back soon because I will be updating the site with more great photos.
Thanks.

Sunrise Snow January 3, 2008

I'm moving to Colorado next month, so how fitting that this month's photo is of snow. Snow, Snow, Snow...I love snow. The only thing better than waking up to find a foot of snow outside is waking up to find two feet of snow outside. I will hopefully have a lot more photos of snow from Colorado. However, those images will probably also have mountains too.

Smokey November 19, 2007

Smoke, strobe light, colored gels, camera. That's about it. Enjoy.

Shotgun Shell October 14, 2007

Who wouldn't have fun shooting guns at the farm? I shot some clay pigeons and some great photos last weekend. The shooter's face has been cropped out to protect the innocent.

Lake Mountain Stars September 23, 2007

I've been out of town for a little while, and I brought everyone back a photo. I spent the last week in Fort Collins, Colorado working and I was able to get up to Rocky Mountain National Park for a day. It's impossible to relate what it's like to actually being there, but I think this photo helps.

F-15 Afterburners September 1, 2007

I was: a) Riding in on F-15 while taking a photo of the other one. b) In a passenger jet over the wrong airspace. c) At the Cleveland Air Show with a big lens.

Red Drop August 23, 2007

I tried blue, green, yellow and red. I think red looks the best.

Shop is Open August 7, 2007

I was driving down in the flats in Cleveland, and I came accross this shop. There's nothing like an overload of signage. Does anyone know what a Torpedo Heater is?

Window and Stars July 30, 2007

I just wanted to see what it looks like from the outside when I'm working on the computer late at night. Now we all know.

Water Drops July 19, 2007

We went about 3 weeks without rain in Cleveland, then we finally had a couple days in a row of rain. I got the macro out in the evening to get a few shots. This is an HDR (High Dynamic Range) shot composed in Photoshop. HDR images are compiled from a few bracketed images of the same subject. The result is an image that offers a wider range of intensity levels from highlights to shadows.

HDR Rock July 7, 2007

This photograph was originally taken in the spring, but I combined the images into a High Dynamic Range (HDR) image just now. By bracketing a few photographs, then combining them in Photoshop you are able to create an almost surrealistic image.

Champ Car Helmet June 24, 2007

I didn't get a press pass for the Cleveland Grand Prix this year, but I did get into the pits for the race. When you're a spectator, there are only so many good shots you can get without fence or a photographer (who has a press pass) in front of you. I was able to wedge between some people to get this shot during a pit stop.

International Space Station June 19, 2007

The news reported that the International Space Station (ISS) was going to fly right over Cleveland, Ohio tonight. They mentioned it would take a few minutes to cross the sky. I had no idea it was going to shoot through the sky as fast as a jet would fly overhead. There are two light trails: one is the ISS, the other is the Space Shuttle which had just undocked earlier in the day.
