Girl at Fountain, Savannah - D700, 24-70mm

 This image was shot in one of the squares in Savannah, don’t remember which one. It is a composite of two images, one of the fountain and one of the top of a trash can in the square, inverted and blended in CS5. Just seemed like those two objects wanted to go together in one image. Don’t you just love the live oaks, so majestic.

Ansie at Tybee - D700, 24-70mm

One morning during the workshop in Savannah we went to Tybee Island to shoot. It was pretty windy that day. Here are two shots from the morning. First one is of Ansie, a lovely lady from South Africa who was gracious enough to do some posing for me under the pier. Thanks again, Ansie… Second shot is a composite self portrait using a RF remote.

And for something totally different…ironwork and colors from Savannah. Sometimes out of focus works just fine…or even better.

Relaxing Read in Forsyth Park - Lensbaby, Sweet 35

On the last day of the workshop in Savannah we went to Forsyth Park to shoot. I was traveling light with one camera and one lens, a Lensbaby sweet 35. This image is a composite of two images, one focused on the foreground and one on the guy reading the book. Yes, I did ask him if he minded if I put him in my photo, he said no problem…

Sunrise at the Beach - D700, 24-70mm

I have been going down to the beach the last few mornings around 6:15am for sunrise and there are people sitting in beach chairs waiting for the sun. Not many clouds the last few days but still a great way to start the day.

Here’s a more impressionistic version of sunrise at the beach…some texture added and run through the pixel-bender plug-in.
