Old Laudermilk Mill

This is an old grist mill just outside of Cornelia Georgia. It dates back to about 1890. If you are interested in a second home it sits on 16 acres with a separate three bedroom two bath home. It has been for sale for over a year so I suppose they will work with you…

After The Freeze

I brought this hydrangea bloom into the bench after looking at it for days after the hard freeze to see if I could pull a couple of shots out of it. Both images are very close to 1:1 macro. The black and white is 24 stacked frames and the color 42 frames. Developing was done in…

The Green Is Gone

I noticed this leaf laying under the holly tree in the back yard and couldn’t pass up shooting it. This is actually eight frames stacked to get the sharpness I wanted using the macro lens. (Clicking on the image will give you a large version.)

Spring in black and white

I have been told that it is sacrilegious to convert a daffodil to black and white because of the great yellows representing Spring. Oh well ~ Click for the large image.

Cascades Air Show

I had the chance to attend the Cascades Air Show in Madras, Oregon a few weeks ago. It was my first time at this type of event and it was a ball. I went out with the intention of getting some images that I could convert to black and white so the images would more match the era of the aircraft.

I had the pleasure of meeting David Baxter of Biplanes Northwest and getting the chance to shoot his two beautiful Starduster biplanes. I’d like to say thank you to him for bringing them out. They were a joy to see and shoot.

Here are a hand full of my favorites from the show. Be sure to click on the thumbnails to see the full size image.

Photo Art

After looking at all of the “photography” that I keep seeing on different sites and in our club competitions I have come to the conclusion and I may be being a bit of a purest on images that I am shooting. I try to shoot what I see and process it the same way. With…
