The Sorcerer's collection

Canon Rebel, ISO 200, f 9.0, shutter 2 sec, 50mm

Since it's Halloween, I thought I'd share one of my spookier images.  This was taken during a photo shoot illustrating the life of a sorcerer.  A friend of mine had all these wonderful old books and props that we were able to work with, to create the sense of old magicks.  I wanted to play around with candle light, so set the camera on the tripod and experimented with a few different shutter speeds until I had the effect of shadows I envisioned.

Wishing everyone a safe Halloween full of sweets and spooky fun!

Hoof-prints in the Sand

I've kind of been on a hiatus for the last month.  A combination of being busy, then sick, then planning my next vacation (which I am really excited about!).

Since I'm going to be on a beach again soon, I thought this was an appropriate image to get back into the groove of my blog.  This photo was taken in the Dominican Republic, during a quiet walk along the beach.  We'd just been passed by a local man on horseback...probably the same man who took us out the next day on our horse tour...and the tide was slowly erasing the existence that he'd ever been there at all.  I thought of the old "footprints in the sand" image, and felt compelled to show that we're not the only ones who leave marks on this earth.
