Drive an hour. Wait for the Wildlife Management Area gate down on Edisto Island to open. Go out to the bone yard. And then hope the for some clouds, just some clouds. We know we have low tide so we should get color sheen in reflections. We have waited all summer for the sun to […]

We have a new tool or perhaps a new gadget or maybe a new toy . We converted an unused camera to a full infrared sensor.  Now we can turn those green leaves white and other oddities with speed and control. Cool tool. And we are more than willing to put our feet where our […]

We know, sorta know, some of Charleston’s streets so going back to check what’s going on has it’s rewards.  Last year one property with a lovely iron gate had a For Sale sign on the gate. This year no sign but when we checked the gate was open and a parked car filled what would […]

Road trip over. Back in the heat and humidity of Charleston. Reminded of the benefits of not being here. Good trip. It had an orderly sequence to it if no cohesive purpose beyond shooting. St Michaels for Dee’s Eastern Shore workshop. Mystic Seaport for a focused shoot. Philadelphia to hang out in a dead museum, […]

So there we are at Mystic Seaport talking with the staff and volunteers who manage the museum’s old motor collection. We talk about the how’s and why’s of seeking out old motors to add to the collection. A WW II Packard V-12 from a PT boat that can be (and has been) restored to working […]

As advertised – Dee’s magnolia triptych. Magnolia blossom time has almost passed on Cumberland Island. We just arrived at our slip in Charleston and maybe magnolia blossom season is a step behind Cumberland. These trees are such handsome specimens with or without blossoms. A good excuse to go exploring. Click on image for larger view.

Still at Cumberland Island. Still messing with infrared. And getting hammered, drilled and bitten by bugs. We got more welts than a paint ball contestant who forgot his protective gear. It might take general anesthesia to get to sleep tonight. But we persist. Tomorrow morning we work the shore line for drift wood and then […]

A wise man once told me that it only takes one image to make a shoot a successful one. I have my one shot for our first morning on Cumberland Island amongst the palmettos and oaks working to see what the new infrared filter will do. Trying to figure out what the filter will and […]

One more stop for our merry chase of the fog: Hyatt Lane with its iconic trees, iconic because the trees have been photographed twenty scazillion times from pretty much the same perspective. So I offer my version with soft background fog in a Black & White conversion with soft coffee color. And as my workshop parting shot an […]

More chasing fog: So there we are chugging down the mountain convinced we are wasting time. The fog will have burned off. What does Tony know? He has been working the area for maybe thirty years. Each of us has been there a couple times. We know. Gonna be no fog. Well there was fog. […]
