Camera-mounted flash gave me mobility in the room and I bounced it off the ceiling. The white card was extended for a little fill and this gave tiny catchlights in the dog's eyes.

Beagle dog-a moment of quiet
This shot of a beagle was taken just before Christmas. I was shooting candids of family while my daughter was holding her dog in her lap. The dog changed positions to rest his head on her shoulder and I was lucky to be behind them at the moment. I got two shots before the dog moved away.

Deer in Snow
I was in the woods after a significant snowstorm hoping to get some more shots of bucks before they dropped their antlers. I didn't see any bucks at all but did come across some does. The sky was quite overcast and some light snow was falling. I was expecting more dramatic lighting because the sky was supposed to start clearing. Nonetheless, the snow accumulating on the doe's back and on the top of her head adds a nice touch to the portrait.

Ducks in Flight-4
Another in the series of composite images of ducks in flight with a simulated mat. The two photos are chosen from my files of flying mallards. The background photo has four ducks descending to a landing with wings set. The foreground photo is a close-up of a drake mallard in a fast banking turn with wings set.

Ducks in Flight-3
Third in the series of composite images of ducks in flight. The close-up photo of the mallard drake was taken from a slightly lower camera angle than the previous images so I placed it at the top of this composite. The background photo is of two drake mallard ducks above a hen as they descend to a landing.

Mallards in Flight Composite-2
This is the second in a series of composite images featuring ducks in flight. Two photographs combined into one image simulating a matted picture. The background photo features 3 drake mallard ducks and a single hen in close formation flight. The foreground photo is a close-up of a drake mallard quacking as he descends with his wings set.
I use Adobe Photoshop to create the simulated mat and to composite the photographs.

Mallards in Flight Composite
This is a composite image of two photographs from my collection of ducks in flight. The background photo is of three drake mallards in a diving descent to a landing. The foreground photo is a drake mallard in crossing flight. This composite is the first in a series to be created and offered at ImageKind; see the link on the right side of this page.

Whitetail deer - 9
I got this shot recently while looking for bucks. I wasn't intending to photograph does but this one struck such a neat pose I couldn't pass it up. She was on a small knoll slightly above me and it appears as if I was on the ground. We were both trying to see each other through the tangle of branches.
