Sinkhole Sublime

These two images were taken earlier this week at a sinkhole called Gobetween, southeast of the Leon Sinks Geological Area. This is a flowing sink, with the water rising in the foreground of the photo and sinking again in the background, probably to rise and sink again at Riversink.

Between Summer Showers

This photo was taken yesterdau in the late morning, from the shoreline of a small freshwater lake on Mashes Sands island. The 'cloudy bright' lighting provided for rich saturated color.

Sopchoppy River

This high dynamic range (=HDR) image is a combination of 4 bracketed photos taken earlier this month with a Canon 40d on a sturdy tripod. The longest exposure was 4 seconds to blur the moving foam.

Of all the photos that I have taken over the years, this image best communicates what I see and how I feel about the Sopchoppy River: wild-dark-deep channels + fantastic-shaped cypress knees + steep banks with so-green foliage = an invaluable treasure.

Lines in the Sand

I haven't posted photos in a while, because of preparing for and reorganizing after our trip to California. I will soon be posting photos from 2 weeks in northern California.

Here are two photos taken yesterday just before sunset at Mashes Sands.

Butterflyweed in a Minute

I photographed this flower cluster on a walk from my house in bright morning sunlight using a Canon G9. In macro mode, the lens was zoomed to full telephoto to not only narrow the field of view of the background but also by using a small aperture to blur the background. I intentionally moved between the flower and the sun to cast a shadow on the flower; the light reflecting off the light sand of the road combined with the bright overhead sky provided interesting lighting. Including the plant's green leaves adds interest to the the orange flower cluster. Yepper ... it took less than a minute to take several photos. This is my favorite of a Butterflyweed.
