Fine Art Friday

Sioux Falls at twilight with Star Trails, Falls Park, Sioux Falls, SD — Several years ago I traveled to Sioux Falls and created a few photos of Sioux Falls I really liked. That makes getting more photos that are different a real challenge. I was waiting for the right lighting to get a nice, long exposure for that silky, smooth water and colorful evening sky when the the light […]

Famous Hollywood Sign in Hollywood, California at night with blue sky and clouds in the background — Did you know that the famous Hollywood sign doesn’t light up? This was a surprise to me, but the reason why is apparently because it would draw too much traffic to the neighborhood where you can view the sign. Getting to this spot requires navigating narrow, winding residential roads and quite understandably, too much traffic […]

Black and White close-up fine art photograph of pine needles. — While it is something that can be found nearly anywhere, I came across this pine tree (I’m sure somewhere out there is someone who could correct me on exactly what type of tree this is) while on a trip to North Carolina. I was simply wandering around a park with my camera and was interested […]

This is a photo that had been sitting on the computer for a couple years. I wasn’t happy with the immediate results I saw from this photo when it was in color. The bare trees that you see in white were not as distinguished as I saw in real life. Finally, I had the idea to try […]

Warning sign outside the old Stapleton Airport control Tower in Denver, Colorado. — If you saw yesterday’s post about Groupon, you may be thinking we were a little hard on those deal sites. So, I (Kevin) decided to give you a 2 for 1 deal of our own – no purchase required… Two photos for Fine Art Friday instead of one! I really couldn’t decided on these two […]

Bird soaring against the background of a deep blue sky — Another fine art photograph from our recent trip to Sarasota, FL. I created this image on Bradenton Beach about 45 minutes before sunset. Extra points for whoever can identify this bird (I know it isn’t “Bob the Bird”).

Recently we took a vacation down to Sarasota, Florida. We were just driving around exploring the town when we came upon a beach. We stopped and played some with our son. Our son loves the ocean and was trying to kick the waves as they came to him, which was really cute. There were a […]
