Dragonflies on Parade

Dragonflies on Parade

Yesterday I went for a personal photowalk at Riverside Park in Roswell Georgia.  I didn’t have a particular plan when I left, really I just went to practice and find something different to shoot…and I found it.  There were dragonflies everywhere!  I love them and I’ve always admired the amazing shots of them that I’ve [...]


VPW – Theme – August – Extreme Close-up

VPW - Theme - August - Extreme Close-up

This guy and three of his closest friends decimated two Banana Pepper and one Jalapeno plants in less than a week.  We knew something was going on because we could see droppings around the container that the plants were in, but we thought it was a “critter” like birds, chipmunks, something like that.  We didn’t [...]

Either way I don’t care, because I love the results – the deep saturation, the chunky edges, the glow, [...]
