The birth of my infatuation or perhaps I should say my obsession with photography began in the mid nineties. Then my main subjects were my children, since my children have left the nest for many years now my passion for photography has never faded but rather grown in a different direction. I have discovered that beauty is never ending, taking on forms that I could have never imagined. I feel blessed that my world has expanded through photography and hope my passion never weakens.

Still Here

I'm still here. I can't believe it has been nearly 10 days since my last post.  I tried to photograph a storm the other evening, wow it was actually a week ago already, and....well....the photographs were just terrible.
My first mistake was raising my ISO to 800. Way to much noise. I was able to get rid of a bit of the noise in post processing but still very noticeable.  I also set my focus for the distant sky when I really should have tried to focus on the tree, everything in front of the sky is blurry....in every photo. Believe it or not the sky was full of lightning however, it lit only the clouds, no full strikes. The storm season is still early.
