The weather has gotten nicer in the midwest, with highs in the 50s, and lows in the 40s. What does that mean? Spring? Nope. It means it’s time to take the doors off the Jeep!
I made this photo with my Canon G10, and finished it up in Lightroom 2.
I picked up these baoding balls in San Francisco several years ago. The cloisonné finish has always intrigued me, shimmering the way it does. They also chime when you roll them around in your hand, which is pretty dang pleasant.
I made this image with my Canon 7D and Canon 100/2.8 macro lens, putting on some finishing touches in Lightroom 2.
Despite the beautiful weather today, I found myself once again playing with my macro lens. The subject today was a circuit board extracted from an old XM Radio receiver. Specifically, this is the area on the circuit board where the little rubber buttons contact it to signal user selections. To me, this looked like a crop circle dropped in a field of green.
This image was made with my Canon 7D and Canon MP-E 65mm 1x-5x macro lens. I worked over the image in Photoshop CS4E, using the Bleach Bypass filter in Nik Color Efex Pro, with a touch of Nik Viveza thrown in for good measure. Realizing I forgot to whiten the whites, I bleached them in Lightroom using the Adjustment Brush.
With the rain in place, and a VCR to take apart, I started hacking away, with a thought of starting a week or so of macro shots of itty bitty electronics. Tonight’s image comes from the “Really?” category from Captain Obvious. 🙂
This image was captured with my Canon 7D, Canon 100/2.8 macro lens and Canon 580EX II, and whipped into shape in Photoshop CS4E, Nik Viveza and Nik Color Efex Pro.
As the light dwindles, the Colorado River twists and turns across the floor of the Grand Canyon.

I had an opportunity to photograph the grounds of an old farm that was going up for sale. This tractor sat inside an open barn, almost as though it’d been frozen in time. The tractor engine really seemed to speak to me with so many textures and shades. I finished the image with an old-fashioned treatment that seemed to compliment the mood of the piece.
