I don’t normally get out to the beach but today, I had a couple of hours to kill while waiting for the dogs to get groomed. I looked like an alien with my camera walking amongst half-naked, bemused earthlings. It was scorching hot that day but the light was incredible and made even better by the gray sand which served as a free, giant reflector and diffuser.
kindly look away

Wired Magazine hit this on the head!

Too much flickr? Lately, I have been exploring what the flickerati do. The curious thing is that many don’t post many photos at all. Perhaps they are posting like crazy but limiting how many are publicly shown. The fascinating thing is that their Explored to photo ratio seems quite high, generally speaking.
I feel like I am getting to a point where my torrential stream of flickr photo uploads is calling for some restraint.
Post fewer, more meaningful ones?
Love this concept and execution by Kelly O’neal. If you haven’t already, check out her work at ekovisions.com. Kelly and I went to high school together and shared our own version of Freaks and Geeks. Two decades later, we find ourselves sharing a common creative outlet not apparent to me before now. As usual, Kelly is years ahead of me; I always knew of her work, but never appreciated quite as much until now.
We were hurtling down the CSX tracks through North Carolina at about sixty miles and hour as the sun went down over the horizon.
The night turned electric orange, and as we watched ghost towns melt away in the glow of the night, I clicked away on the camera, hoping to catch the last final frames of our journey home.
Technically, it was all I could do to keep the shutter speed fast enough to get this shot with nearly no light. Did I say how much I love my 35mm f/1.8G?
This is pretty much SOOC though I did apply a touch of the Ken Rockwell effect by punching up the contrast and vibrancy just a hair.
