Galway is a City in the North part of Ireland. It is a city with rich traditions in food, art and architecture. One of the many things it is known for is that most sailboats have red sails.

We don't see many dime store rides outdoors anymore. Most are horses. I observed an elephant ride bathed in orange outside a corner grocery story.

The Detroit area has not had horse racing for a number of years now. Chances are it is because there are so many other ways to gamble. Few of the other ways to gamble offer the excitetment of watching a thoughoubred run. This photo was shot at Hazel Park in 2014. Sure, there were races during the daytime with plenty of light, but shooting with high shutter speeds at night is a special challenge.

For Photographers that live in the lower peninsula and don't want the long drive to the upper peninsula, go south to Milton Ohio. Very near the roadside is an attractive couple of waterfalls. I used a long or slow shutter speed to allow the water to move and blur. I used a Tilt/Shift lens to reduce distortion. It was a rainy overcast day, which is perfect for shooting waterfalls.

Monument Valley is located in Utah on the sovereign soil of the Navajo Indian Nation. A dozen or more miles in the back of the valley are some sand dunes and rock formations known as the Totem Poles. Even though the Navajo indians are not the ones to make totem poles, they honor the Klinket Indians and others in the Pacific northwest who do make totem poles by nameing this rock formation after them. To visit, you must hire a Navajoe guide who will put your group in the back of his pickup truck to sit upon a picnic table and he will drive you to this spot. No one walks upon this view of the sand dunes because the footprints will ruin the photo for the next visitor. Plan to go there just before sunset so you can see the ripples in the sand's texture.

This is a photo that "Breaks the Rules". Beginning photographers routinely stand too far away and include too much background in thier image. Here is a photo that was intentionally designed to have the environment dominate the subject (The relationship of postive space compared to negative space.). The dilapidated barn sitting in the middle of the wheat field stands out dramatically because of the dark tones of the barn compared to the light tones of the wheat.

Linda and I recently visited Mission Point Lighthouse just north of Traverse City, MI. It was a beautiful day and a short walk from the parking lot. Entrance is free. I just had to wait a few minutes until the other tourists left the scene. I put my camera on a tripod and shot.

This is Carolyn Harp modeling for me at Midwest Photography Workshops. We were colleges at the Detroit Fire Department. In designing this photograph, I desired to crete a three Demensional separation of her from the background. Red is such an emotionally powerful color, so I photographed her in soft lighting wearing the red shirt against a dark and greenish background. It get even more separation, I stood farther than normal away from her so I could use a pretty strong telephoto lens and blur out the background leaving her as the only sharp part of the photo. The supremely confident stance makes this photo even better.

If a tree falls in a forest, is it still dead? The circle of Life is alive and well in most forests. Trees get old, they fall down and return to the earth. Part of the life cycle process is; once a tree falls down, is that shelf fungus or some other form of fungus grows upon the tree (now log) and helps it decompose. By decomposing, the tree returns it nutrients back to the earth so more trees can grow in it's place in the future. It will likely take many years for the process to complete, but it has been going on like this for millions of years and so it will continue. So with this way of thinking, the tree is not really dead, just helping continuing its life in the life of other trees. This log was photographed at Hartwick Pines State Park in northern Michigan.

As a photography instructor, I spend a lot of time emphasizing three-dementional depth in photographs. This is often done by including foreground subject matter and background. Here at the Pyramids of Giza we have those elements. The camel is up close as foreground, the pyramids are framed inside the legs of the camel and we have the City of Cairo way in the background.
