white limo.....for littleny

This helped to hold up traffic in The French Quarter in New Orleans. I particularly like the orton glow, the way it looks on black and the guys reflection on the passenger side rear door.

I really liked the dof (bokeh) in this. This piece was in a shop in New Orleans. The light was hitting just right.

Another view of the bridge at blue hour

biloxi bridge lit up. I was thrilled this eve from the golden hour to blue hour to dark

It was so cool that after a few days of no really good shooting I got great lighting in the bay to Biloxi MS.
The blues, the golden tones, the quiet water all lined up for some great shots.

Night photography can be fun. It's usually very quiet.

Looking forward to getting some time off around Christmas and going to visit my stepdaughter and her boyfriend.
Should get some good shots around the MS coast.

This was in San Diego last Feb. Thing that's nice about shooting around the coast is that it is always good!

Leaves....EXPLORED Oct. 13th #68 Thank you!

This is one of my favs...Took it on a nice fall morning but these are quickly disappearing to winter.
Looking forward to taking some trips in the RV that we just traded the 'batcave' for. People that new the trailer well were familiar with the nickname LOL.
Hope you are staying dry and warm.
