Anything Goes

This gallery contains images that have been combined or had filters applied. Some are more than one image. Others, have multiple exposures combined to enhance the photo (HDR High Dynamic Range). One of the yellow flower images in this gallery employs focus stacking using Helicon Focus. This software was originally developed for microscope slide photography. Maybe a better title would be photography art.

Birds

Birds have a special place in my soul. I enjoy watching, banding and photographing them. I have never found a bird I didn’t like! They are the main reason I got back into photography after a long absence.

Butterflies

Butterflies seem to get in the way when I’m photographing birds. Besides, who doesn’t like butterflies? Many of these images were taken at the Cockrell Butterfly Center at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. You should visit!

Dragonflies

Not sure why I capture images of dragonflies. Perhaps because they fly and are just another challenge for the photographer. (I get to use my macro lens)

Flowers

Flowers are beautiful and usually stand still for the photographer. Windy days are the exception.

Landscape

A collection of some of the landscape images I’ve taken. You’ll find many coastal sunrises in this gallery. Whenever I’m at a coastline that faces east, I have to get up early and take advantage of the light.

Special Places

These are images from places that we’ve visited. The list includes: Alaska, New Mexico (Bosque Del Apache), Texas (Coast Bend and West), Florida (Ft. Meyers, Cape Coral, and Everglades NP), Tennessee (Great Smoky Mountains NP), Kentucky (Lexington), Washington (Olympic NP), Oregon (Portland, Coast, and Columbia River Gorge), Utah (Arches, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, Canyonlands, and Zion NP, Grand Staircase Escalante NM), Colorado (Rocky Mountain and Mesa Verde NP), Wyoming (Yellowstone NP)

The Eyes have it

Ok, I have to be honest, this is an idea that I borrowed from my sister Janet. It is a focus on bird eyes and there color.

Wildlife

You’ll find a little bit of everything in this gallery. From alligators to white-tailed deer.

Video

I’m beginning to experiment with video.
