Winter Night at the Milwaukee Art Museum
It is always a treat to find the wings open on the Milwaukee Art Museum. Especially on a cold December night under a full moon.
Self Portrait
Even though I’d never been there, I felt a sense of familiarity when looking out over the Pacific Ocean in Big Sur. I felt like I was finally at home.
Being Prepared In Case of Emergency
An accident while out photographing nature can happen to anyone. Here’s what I learned after I had a hard fall recently and what I did to help prevent further mishaps.
First Blue Ridge Parkway Sunrise of 2022
This was my first sunrise from the Blue Ridge Parkway in 2022 and it was beautiful!
Night Photography in Black & White
While it’s exciting to capture the colors in night photography, converting the same image to black and white is just as beautiful.
Miami Beach
The ocean was so great on the day of our visit to Miami Beach. The smell of the air and the sight of the gathering clouds and the green ocean was overwhelmingly beautiful.
Storm Approaching
A storm was approaching when we were visiting the Boerner Botanical Gardens. The light was changing minute by minute, and I was able to capture the moments – part of my best work ever!
Gray Skies after the Storm
Many times, a photograph made from a snow scene will appear as naturally-occurring black and white image. In this shot, there’s a gray tinge thanks to the contrast of the gray clouds, indirect sunlight, and white snow covered trees.
Black and White Snow
Oftentimes when I’m out in nature with my camera, I can tell immediately when a photograph is going to look better in black and white than it does in color. Not every image is better than black and white. It has to do with the significance of the light and shadows and the contrast between them.
Butterfly Flower print
A new print is available on Beautiful Sun Photography! The Butterfly Flower print is available as Wall Art, Home Décor, Lifestyle & Stationery.
A Work of Art – the Milwaukee Art Museum at Night
The Milwaukee Art Museum is a work of art, both inside and out. The Quadracci Paviliion was designed by Santiago Calatrava and is an iconic landmark in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Sunrise Progresses More Slowly in the Mountains
In the mountains, I have even more time to capture magical light of the sun because of the length of time it takes to rise over the mountains.
