Welcome

Welcome to my photoblog. I try to keep it updated daily with a new photo from either my personal or professional life. It is not intended to be taken as my professional portfolio (please visit the main website for that), but instead it is more of an informal and fun way for me to share some of my personality and creativity with you. Many of the photos on my blog are available for purchase as fine art prints, please visit the main website and/or contact me if you are interested. Enjoy!

Flower Photo Contest Winner!

Posted by    at
Thanks to everyone that entered the Flower Photo Contest last month! There were some great shots of various different flowers, and flower related subjects. It was hard to pick a winner, but one shot just stood out above the rest. It was submitted by Jeffrey Meyer of Jeffrey Meyer Photography, and is entitled While You Were Asleep...


I decided on this shot as our winner because of the amazing lighting, depth of field, and composition. The only editing done on the photo by Jeffrey was a slight crop to remove a distracting element, the stem of another flower. The lighting was achieved by using a tiny flash light under and to the right of the flower. The exposure is perfect in my opinion, to give it a glowing, dreamy look. The focus on the pestle is nice and sharp and the depth of field drops off very nicely to make the pedals soft. Below is the exif info for the shot. Congrats Jeffrey, and enjoy your prize!

    Thank you Fernando,

    I had a lot of fun taking this photo at 2 in the morning with only the aid of tiny tripod and “Double A” powered flashlight. It took me two shots to achieve this result straight out of the camera. Thanks again for the kind words and contest prize! I like your blog!
