One thing I've always liked about Dale Chihuly's work, and I've heard him say this before too, is just how unique the medium of glass is. The that these pieces all glow differently in different light is astounding. The detail and thought that goes into each individual piece and then into the whole installation is a testament to how great his team really is. Plus they are always very photogenic, which of course is great for me. :) Please let me know what you all think as any suggestions are welcomed and appreciated. Enjoy!

POTD - Bell Chimes
Something I don't really do a lot of is Black and White. Not that I think it's over done or anything, I just think like a lot of things, moderation is the key. The texture in the Bell Chimes that can be found at Missouri Botanical Garden are bronze. The texture from that was perfect in the early light for this to be B&W. Since I don't do a whole lot of B&W, any suggestions or comments are welcomed and appreciated. Enjoy!

POTD - Can't Win Them All
Last night some coworkers and I drove out to Wellsville Missouri to shoot new moon and some starry skies. Everything looked great for a good night, all until we got there and got set up. That's when the clouds moved in, and moved in to stay. This was an early shot in the night where we still had a few stars. If we get a good sky next month, this spot could prove very useful. Please let me know what you all think as any suggestions are welcomed and appreciated. Enjoy!

POTD - Fourth Of July Fireworks Friday
Here's one of the better shots I grabbed last night while taking in the ever awesome St. Charles County fireworks display. I don't go to the downtown St. Louis display just because it's a sea of humanity that I'd rather not deal with. :) Please let me know what you all think as any suggestions are welcomed and appreciated. Enjoy!

POTD - Nature's Harrier
Shooting with my new 70-300mm VR at Missouri Botanical Garden, I tried my hand at some of these little dragonflies. The perfect backdrop with the Dale Chihuly pieces in the water, these little dragonfly was quite settled on this flower bud which gave me a chance to snap a few frames. Really makes me want to get a macro into the park... :) Please let me know what you all think as any suggestions are welcomed and appreciated. Enjoy!

POTD - Devil's Rope Star Trail
While we were down at my friend Pat's property, the Devil's Rope Ranch, we had a new moon for star shooting. I didn't notice, as my shots clicked away, that it was in fact getting slightly cooler outside. So from two hours of shooting, I only got shots for about 40 minutes of it because my lens fogged up. For my first try at star trails, I learned a valuable lesson as well as getting some shots to create this. Please let me know what you all think as any suggestions are welcomed and appreciated. Enjoy!
