Lake Tishomingo 0008, 11/06/2016
Location: Jefferson County, MO, USA Date/Time Captured:11/06/2016 @ 07:29 A wonderful foggy morning on the lake that seemed to last forever, and provided me more than ample time to shoot a large variety of compositions. This one, looking down the lake's dam to the other side I found somewhat reminiscent of a knife cutting it's way through the fog to the other side.

"He was the proverbial Gloomy Gus. Even when basking in the light with oodles of rays of hope and windows of opportunity swirling about him, he could only see the dark underbelly of life."

Clouds were fairly thick...though not totally overcast. Even as I found my way out to the beach and began shooting things were a little blah. I'd all but given up on color shots and had been concentrating on long exposure black & white images....looking directly opposite of the sun's direction. And after starting a 4 minute exposure, I turned around, looked back in the sun's direction.....and Holy Cimoli, sunrise color had put on it's Sunday-Go-To-Meeting clothes and was strutting it's stuff. It turned out to be a wonderful color event that lasted approx 15-20 minutes. Turned out to be a very productive session for both color and long exposure b*w images!

Ravenel Bridge 0063, 08/08/2016
Location: Charleston, SC, USA Date/Time Captured: 08/08/2016 20:22 The Ravenel Bridge was one of the locations we shot as part of a 'Long Exposure Workshop' in the summer of 2016. We had spent one session here during the workshop, and I returned solo a couple days later. The first session....though I captured some images I like well enough...wasn't exactly conducive to long exposures as the clouds present were SO slow moving that it was almost impossible to see they'd moved at all in a 30 second exposure. This evening's session started out pretty much the same. But just as I was beginning to consider wrapping the session up, these 'scud' clouds, as I call them, appeared and were just scooting across the sky. With the very last vestige's of sunset color present, and accented by the city lighting that had come on, all the waiting proved worthwhile.

Location: Folly Beach, SC, USA Date/Time Captured: 08/07/2016 I had spotted this sort of malformed S curve the previous morning. But by the time I did, the 'good light' was gone for the day. So, I made plans right then to come back again on this day specifically to capture this image. Fortunately, the clouds were moving along just spiffy and it all combined for somewhat of an abstract long exposure. Though a fan of pretty much any 'abstract' opportunities, I'm always most intrigued when Mother Nature provides these 'live and in living color' opportunities.

"Whenver she spoke, crowds swarmed to listen."
The war of words had subsided, but it was evident from their back-to-back posture neither had go of the hostility.
"The quicksand of life had been hard on the entire family. Some had succumbed completely. Others seemed destined to do the same. Even the patriarch, the strongest of the clan, seemed to straddle the edge between finding solid ground and slipping into the darkness of despair."
