Yep, this is winter, too. Rows and rows of corn stalks that haven't been plowed in yet, standing in a water drenched field that is slowly overgrowing with moss. It's part of #FourSeasonsFriday , curated by +Stephonie Ogden and myself. What does your season look like right now?? Let's find out!

Not Today

No one will come today.
The sky is grey, the ground cold.
There will be no picnics beneath the trees.
No sounds of children playing.
All will be quiet, except for the wind, chilling the air.
Even though no one will come today.
The beauty still remains.

I am so ecstatic that I had to tell someone, and I felt my friends here on G+ are the best crowd to understand. Last night was the announcement of the winners of the "Samuel S. & Celia G. Reinglass Northeast Ohio Photography Show". I ended up with a "Best in Show - Color", "Best in Show - Black & White" and a "Best in Category - Creative Technique, Color". This was the first time that someone received both Best in Show awards. I have to leave this ...more...

It sucks being a loser

Life is not fair. Even the greatest people have been losers on some days, and for some, it happens more frequently. Yeah, yeah...losers say it just to make themselves feel better, right? The cards are dealt, and we have to live with it. I like to be realistic, and I try to be as honest and forthcoming with all of you.

I do love Google+ for all the opportunities, all the wonderful things I’ve learned, and, most of all, the people I’ve met. T ...more...

#ThirstyThursdayPics

Another photo from New Zealand today which I think fits many photo themes.

It is a long exposure of the incoming tide along the kaikoura Peninsula in New Zealand at sunset. I found the rock formations especially attractive because of the layers they showed.

I needed a neutral grad to bring down the sky a bit and to make sure I got enough details in the rocks. I know many like to have super contrasty pictures, I prefer to show more of the deta ...more...

Just a butterfly
Something simple, bright and cheerful! Had posted another shot of the same guy many months ago.

I have two versions of the same leaf seen while walking through the woods (frozen in a puddle of water). I call this "Frozen in Time" for lack of anything more fitting. The one version is the photo-realistic detailed version and the other is a soft-glow painterly effect. Any preference? #leafonthursdays narrated by +...more...

Stony Man, Shenandoah National Park

I'm still working on the interactive version of this panorama I shot in Virginia last summer. I have two other in the works also.

"Sky High Intensity"

Late one summer afternoon, a storm front pushed through with an ominous intensity. The cloud formations were foreboding enough, but it was their eerie color that made the hair stand up on the back of your neck.

Turned out, it’s bark was worse than it’s bite.

I also created a wide-view panorama of this event: http://popsdigital.com/?p=522
