Hong Kong Junk
from $143.50
This photographs show one of the few remaining junk boats left in Hong Kong Harbor. This one is used for tourist rides. The thick, humid atmosphere separates the modern Hong Kong skyline from the traditional design of the junk. I feel that this image looks especially nice in the floating frame options but feel free to choose the full frame options if you prefer.

Macro Beauty
I have written before that I love our garden. Its beauty is amplified every year as plants mature and its natural canvas becomes more complex and vibrant. We have been very lucky this year to have had an early start to the growing season. We live at 7300ft above sea level where the conditions are [...]
The Zeiss Distagon 21mm Prime vs Canon’s 17-40mm Zoom
I admit that taking a close up of our first spring flowers is not quite the broad sweeping landscapes I usually like to shoot with my wide angle lens but it proves an important point. It proves that the extra $1,000 I spent on my new Carl Zeiss Distagon 21mm f/2.8 wide angle lens was [...]
Oregon Part 4: Taming Cape Arago
After making photographs of eagles in Klamath Falls, we made a four and a half hour trek by car to the beautiful Oregon coast. We had originally planned to drive to Crater Lake but found out that the area was already inundated with snow, which made access to the lake impractical without proper planning. So, [...]
Oregon Part 3: AI Servo Mode for Photographing Eagles in Flight
For the third installment on my trip to Oregon, I will discuss my attempt to capture eagles in flight. The shot above, which was the best action shot of the trip, took some practice including visiting a local high school basketball game to hone some skills.

How to take a portrait of a Christmas tree
I thought I would spread a little holiday cheer today by sharing a portrait of our Christmas tree and giving some detail on how I took the picture. Donna loves decorating for Christmas so I decided to honor her by taking a photo of her work. My goal for the photo was to capture the [...]
Little French World – Chinon, France
I thought I would have a bit of fun with today’s images of Chinon, France by processing a few of them in a way that makes the town look miniature. These photographs were taken while Donna and I toured the Forteresse Royale du Chinon last September. The images overlooking the town are particularly well suited [...]
Loire Valley Boathouse – Stressing the Focal Point in Photography
What could be more perfect than a boat tied to a quaint little boathouse with flowers everywhere and no swing set in the back yard? The beautiful scene above is one we ran across while visiting Chateau Azay-le-Rideau in the Loire Valley. As I crossed the bridge, I was instantly drawn to the near perfect [...]
Creating Panoramas: 180 Degrees of Monaco
