  Spring Magnolia With coffee in one hand and camera remote in the other I took the long trip out to my backyard to grab a few shots of my early blooming Magnolia. Spring has arrived a few weeks earlier here in Ohio but I’m not complaining! Processed with Photoshop CS5, Nik Software Color Efex 4 and Silver Efex Pro 2. Thanks for viewing – Vince  Sunflower at Inniswood This photo was taken last summer at Inniswood Metro Gardens, Ohio. I decided to play around with Photoshop’s radial blur filter, layer masks, and Nik Software’s Color Efex 4 and Viveza 2. I usually don’t use the gimmick tools photoshop has to offer, but when applied in the right manner the results can be quite pleasing. Thanks as always for viewing! - Vince  Darby Macro Fall Color I’m finally getting back out and shooting after taking care of a bulged disc in my lower back. I’m still finding plenty of fall color in the woodlands well beyond what many consider peak season for colors. I found many unique subjects at Battelle Darby Creek Metro Park. I modified the light with a 20″ diffuser and a 12″ soft gold reflector. Thanks for viewing! – Vince Nikon D7000 Sigma 150mm Macro F25 @ .8sec iso 100 I just returned from a couple days at Cuyahoga Valley National Park in Ohio. Here are a few images showcasing the color and detail of the park. Thanks for viewing! – Vince  Blue Hen Falls - CVNP  Cuyahoga Valley Dogwood 
    My search for early morning light was interrupted by a pop up thunderstorm and needless to say I decided to play it safe and avoid being a target with my aluminum alloy tripod! Yes carbon fiber is on the list but it’s just not in the budget right now! – Besides, I don’t even notice the weight anymore! Instead of packing it in and heading home I decided to wait out the weather and work with less than ideal conditions. The air was starting to move my macro subjects around the prairie but the lingering clouds provided the cover I needed for a little diffused light. I decided to focus on the overlooked details as I’m becoming a little bored with summer prairie blooms and anxiously awaiting the colors of autumn. I happened upon this patch of prairie drop seed? and just worked the backgrounds and different angles of light not knowing what I’d come home with from this morning. I opened up my aperture in order to isolate the seed heads and give a fast shutter speed to overcome the slight breeze. This small series was taken all within a 10 square foot area at Battelle Darby Creek Metro Park, Galloway OH. Thanks for viewing! – Vince |
