Moth-er.
Walking around downtown Asheboro today and I saw this incredible moth. I am a huge moth and butterfly fan so any chance I get to photograph cool ones on the spurt of the moment is good for me! I have recently purchased a pretty cheap and sort of handcrafted lens that I made with some…

Looking at my Lumens.
Revisiting some older stuff that I’ve done and doing something different to them. These are Lumen Prints that we did in school. They are always so beautiful and colorful, so I wanted to see what the texture, contrast, luminosity, and tonality that you get from black and white prints. I really enjoy this image as…

Retouching Demo.
I pride myself with my Photoshop abilities and I just wanted to show how retouching an image can really take all of those little distractions away. It takes it from a good photo to a great photo. I mainly retouched all of the extra tags and cords and even a whole electrical box with lots…

The Cube: Depth of Field.
There were a few “cube” assignments during my time at school. This cube is used for measuring D.O.F. (Depth of Field). Depth of field is the area of focus within a photograph that is sharp. The aperture size is the specific factor in determining how big or small that area is. The larger the aperture,…

Not a Case of Deja Vu.
Last year at this time, we had ice on our trees and it was freezing cold! Thankfully, it has been a little mild this winter so far…hopefully it will continue because I’m not sure if I can handle it again! This is a 30-second exposure at f/16. The moon is lighting…

Oldie, but a Goodie.
Taken by the wonderful Natalie Lowdermilk some years ago, I stumbled upon this during a Facebook clean-out. I’ve always loved this image because it is such a haunted gaze.

Mid-Century Moment: 1955 Chevy Bel Air
I have never taken pictures of cars before because I was intimidated by the elaborate setups and traditional ways to photograph cars. You have to control shadow detail, highlight tonality, reflections, and color cast. This is a 1:24 scale model of a 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air. My partner inherited a huge collection of cars from…

Focus Stacking: Hemerocallis fulva ‘Flore Pleno’
I am having success overall with my focus stacking I believe and I photographed one of my orange lilies that are blooming right now. This is a stack of 6 images that were shot at 1:3 at f/45 and merged in Photoshop. I cut out just the flower in the image and then put it…

Miss Ruby Redd.
I have taken pictures of Amy many times, and I think this time by far has been my most favorite. She is stunningly gorgeous and has the most porcelain skin around. I did edit this picture, but only subtle things (i.e. color cast, minor blemishes, vignetting). She has now become a burlesque performer, you can…
