Boat from Underneath
The workshop studio is in a small complex of buildings. The other buildings all have to do with boat repair and boat sales. This is the reflection in the hull of one boat that is up on metal jacks outside the studio, shot with the a 21mm lens for the wide angle impact. I stopped the lens all the way down to f/22 to generate the starburst effect from the reflection of the sun.

Flowers on Black
I photographed these flowers just now on black seamless as a demonstration of a bracketed sequence for low-key HDR photography from my Maine Media flower photography workshop.

Mandahlia: Dahlia Mandala
The basis for this image is a photo I made today during a field trip with my Creative Flower Photography workshop here in Rockport, Maine at the Maine Media Workshops. We paid a visit to the wonderful Endless Summer Dahlia Farm, which markets tubers (bulbs) to “dahlia addicts” across the country. What a great privilege to be able to photograph in this stunning and serene place!

Country Corner and Wild Fish Sex
I photographed this image of a bucolic corner here in Rockport, Maine where I am giving a workshop, and processed the image on my iPhone using Waterlogue.

Could this be the same quiet vacation and lobster paradise with all the “wild fish sex”? The capture shown was made in Rockport Harbor this morning early before my class!

Welcome to Maine!
My workshop starts this evening, and I’ve had fun today exploring the mid-coast of Maine. I was lucky to visit the Owl’s Head Lighthouse just now, with a functioning light under the jurisdiction of the US Coastguard.

Schloss Shadow
My bags are packed, I’m ready to go—so its the perfect time to work on some back images on my production machine. This castle shadow is from my recent stay in Heidelberg, Germany, photographed on a street as I wandered around after I gave my workshop.

New Interview with Harold Davis
Check out this great new interview with me by Kathleen McCaffrey on the Picsastock Blog. The interview explores (among other things) my interpretation, style, and process: “Photography is a way of sharing what we see—a very important part of who we are—with others. I like to create images that relate to some kind of order in the chaos of the universe, and at the same time speak to the poetry in nature and humanity that is always around us.” Click here to see the whole interview.
