Bold Orchid Macro in color

A bit of a boa showing up here with the white orchid. Fuzzy and a bit of fun of a close up of this wonderful flower.

Orchid as a Black and White

A bit of fluff added to this one when I photographed it in color a couple of years back. The white look was intensional, and it might be fun to do a photo grouping on a wall. We often look for dark blacks and bright whites with black and white images.

Gerbera Black and White 3

Last one of a series of Gerbera flowers from the garden. Black and white for a change of view.
Having fun trying out new color filters in photoshop.

Gerbera 2 Black and White

Another black and white Gerbera. This one is a yellow one and I used a yellow filter with the conversion.

Gerbera Black and White

Gerber blossom reproduced as black and white image. I am not quite sure if the background is Ok or if it is a bit too dark.

Merced River and Lupine

Just into the valley at Yosemite there was a grouping of Lupine inside the walled off area at the side of the road. Tried new Topaz filter called Impression 2 for paint effect.

Another pretty wildflower

Last trip to the Berkeley Botanical Garden in May. Proper name of this flower is Rotundifolia Amairoa. What fun it would be to have one in the garden to watch each day as tiny blossoms open from these pointy spheres.

River Dogwoods Photo Painting

Dogwoods in the breeze, painterly image. It is always very windy by this bridge in Yosemite.
The flowers are delightful, but they don't hold still for photos. Close to where you turn onto the one way road coming into the valley.

Tunnel View Panorama

Handholding panoramas is a bit tricky, and making it a painting is more forgiving of focus issues.
