Daily Photo Phix: From Nantasket to Minot’s Ledge

One Sunday in April, we took a drive to Nantasket Beach in Hull, Massachusetts. During the summer season, you’re lucky to find a place to park on a Sunday, but in April, it was wide open, although a few brave … Continue reading

Daily Photo Phix: Alone with his thoughts

Recently, Rey and I shared some photos of our visit to a nearby zoo.  As you would expect, those posts featured photos of various animals in their own worlds, keeping to themselves, and most likely, not even aware of us. … Continue reading

Daily Photo Phix: The Artist

Wandering through Maine, near Bar Harbor.  We spotted this artist, who kindly obliged us by letting us feel invisible.  We watched… Had I been bolder, or with a longer lens, I might have had some fun repositioning myself relative to … Continue reading

Daily Photo Phix: James

Meet James. James and I sat for something like eight hours at Big State House Hearing a few months ago.  Industry representatives told the state senators and reps all the good and bad that would come of it.  Predictions of … Continue reading

Daily Photo Phix: Chilled

This photo is an example of color manipulation and post technique designed to emphasize the desired mood and effect of an image.  These water bottles were on ice in a large tub toward the center of a cafeteria I passed … Continue reading

Daily Photo Phix: Sunrise

This was taken early in the morning last summer as we looked across Boston harbor.  Very few, and I mean very few, adjustments made on the computer afterwards.  It was a remarkably brilliant red sky (and one I’d tend to … Continue reading

Daily Photo Phix: Painted only

Post processed much? Obviously, photo realism was not the goal here.  I took this shot with a Nikon D70 back in 2004 as were passing through Amish Country in Pennsylvania.  I thought that the shot stood on its own as … Continue reading

Daily Photo Phix: Suddenly this…

We made our way north, up the coast.  I had read and heard that this would be a most memorable drive.  Stunning vistas at every hairpin turn, they all said.  That’s why so many car commercials are shot there.  It’s … Continue reading

Daily Photo Phix: Yellowstone River

This was taken in Yellowstone National Park in 2002.  I was using my first digital camera (a Canon G2) at f4 and 1/640 second.  I can only surmise that the metadata is completely kerflooey as the ISO is listed in … Continue reading

Daily Photo Phix: What’s with the hat?

I don’t understand the hat… I really don’t.  And the expression.  Seriously? EPL1 at ISO 400, f4 and 1/60 second.  Used the in camera pin hole filter for the effect. Posted by Rey

Sometimes the image tells the mood.  One picture saves a thousand words. Canon 7D at ISO of 800, 15mm, f20 and 4 seconds.  No tripod, obviously.  Black and white conversion right in Aperture.  A bit of vignetting seemed right. Posted … Continue reading

Daily Photo Phix: Frisbee

I was taking a sunset stroll on the bay facing side of the Cape when I spotted a group of young men playing frisbee.  This particular participant was most adept at making the leaping grab or stretching to keep the … Continue reading

Daily Photo Phix: Solitary

The sun was setting in a brilliant, warm tone and I was fortunate enough to be standing right in this spot.  Taken with a Nikon D5100 at f25 and 1/13 second.  ISO was set at a low 125. The image … Continue reading

Daily Photo Phix: Sky, Foreboding

It’s the local Protestant church which borders my favorite daily (ok, nearly daily) walking path.  The sky was foreboding, which is a remarkably cliche but frustratingly perfect descriptor in this instance.  Had to use it.  My apologies. I couldn’t seem … Continue reading

Daily Photo Phix: My escape to the Southwest

Last September, my wife and I toured the American Southwest.  Our first stop was in Sedona AZ, home of iconic red rock mountains and where everyone is a cowboy, even a city slicker from New England.  I took hundreds of … Continue reading
