1st Keeper from my new Z8. daybreak on June 4, Unusual glow on the front porch this morning. grabbed my Z8 and 24-120 and got this shot. Love the light. Later I found out it was due to the Canadian forrest fires, all the way south to PA. The light turned bad over the next few days, but on the 4th, just beautiful 5:54am June 4, 2023, z 24-120mm f4 s, ISO 1250, 1/160, F4 June 4, 5:54 AM First Light by Michael Spinelli, on Flickr
Caught this by surprise waking up this morning to a passing storm and the wonderful rainbow left. I haven't seen one in a very long time and never got to photograph one.
One of my favorite things to do in studio which helps me to get better as a photographer is to create an image in my mind and then create it.
When I first saw this watch, the image I created quickly came to my mind's eye. It is only a 5 dollar watch but I thought it would make for a really cool image. I headed to the hobby store and bought black river rocks. The whole shoot took me about 30 minutes as I knew exactly what I needed to do.
I used the Z9 with the 24-120 S lens. 2 strip boxes on the sides feathering the light and a long exposure so the smoke would resemble running water.
sjms, lots of beautiful roses there. My father still grows roses every year white, yellow, pink, and burgundy and has given clippings to start new bushes to most of our family.
Caught a long (~9500') fast mover with 21000HP up front northbound and went to meet it at one of the rock cuts that drops the line into a river valley. The trees have grown in the way since the tracks were laid in the 1881-1882 timeframe and block a perfect shot that captures the whole side of the locomotives, but it will make due for today: AKH_3697 by Alan Hudson, on Flickr
