This morning I was putting this week's yard clippings out to curbside for pickup, and happened to notice these Schefflera berries ripening up. The starlings and mocking birds will be happy. 🐦 #photography #berries #nature #closeup #bokeh
Color close-up of Schefflera berries in varying stages of ripeness, from pale yellow and orange to bright red and deep burgundy. The berries at upper left are in sharp focus, each with a tiny dark star-shaped mark on its tip, while a strand of more berries hangs down through the soft, blurred background. Glossy dark green leaves frame the fruit against a  blend of sage green with yellow and cream highlights.

Coming back from my usual Sunday shoot at the beach this morning, I drove by these power lines. They weren't enough on their own for a picture, so I was glad when some birds came along to add some interest. #photography #blackandwhite #monochrome #birds #powerlines #silhouette #geometry #graphic
Black and white photograph of two wooden utility poles strung with power lines and ceramic insulators against a flat white sky. Three birds interact near the wires on the left — one perched, two others in mid-flight with wings spread, appearing to spar or chase each other. A curly slack loop of wire hangs from the right side of the frame. The image is in silhouette, giving it a graphic feel.

Birdless bath Yesterday I was looking at my bird bath minding my own business, when I noticed the water reflections shifting back and forth ever so quickly... there were breezes passing though. Took several frames, but liked this one. #photography #reflections #birdbath #abstract
Color close-up of a stone birdbath filled with rippling water, its rough-hewn granite rim catching soft light. The water's surface reflects overhanging leaves and dappled sky, with dark blurred foliage in the background due to shallow depth of field. No birds present.

I was stopped at a traffic light on a busy intersection looking over at this gas station wondering if there was a picture there or not. I still don't know, ha. 😆 #photography #shapes #texture #busyness #traffic #streetphotography

Soccer night at the park. #photography #soccer #futbol #twilight #sky
Dusk over a lit soccer field, seen through a tall black mesh fence. Players in neon green, teal, orange, and white jerseys scrimmage near the goals while a few people sit on the sideline. A "Soccer / Get in the Game" banner hangs on the back fence. Bright floodlights glow on tall poles under a moody sky of deep blue clouds.

Sometimes I try to take pictures while I'm driving in the rain. Very few are successful, but I kind of like this one... I tried tossing it into the trash bin, but it kept popping back out. 😏
Color photograph:  An abstract rendition of a night scene taken through a car windshield in heavy rain, showing a portion of a windshield wiper, car trim, and what appears to be blurred lights from a shopping center.

From yesterday morning, 3 girlfriends wade and convo. #photography #sunrise #ocean #beach #clouds #streetphotography
Sunrise breaks through heavy, dark blue storm clouds over the ocean, sending pale golden rays of light down toward the horizon. In the lower center of the frame, three swimmers, visible only as dark silhouettes from the shoulders up, wade side by side in the shimmering, rippled sea. On the right, a long wooden/concrete fishing pier with a small covered pavilion extends into the frame, with the silhouettes of anglers lined up along its railing.

Before sunrise Started the day on a tripod, moved the morning into a cafe where I photographed a willing couple's chess match, and made one good connection in the parking lot. My idea of a fruitful Sunday. 😜📷
Long-exposure color photograph of a beach before sunrise. Dark, wet sand with lines of seaweed curves along the left, leading toward a calm, silky blue ocean. The sea reflects soft pink and lavender light from the sky. Along the horizon, stacked clouds glow pink and white, while darker blue-gray clouds hang overhead against a gradient sky. On the shoreline at left, a few people appear as faint blurred figures from the long exposure.

I charged my EV at a McDonald's charging station today. This touch screen display has seen its share of selecting, pressing and poking over the last few years, but still works great. #photography #design #geometry #streetphotography #EVcharger
Close-up of a public charging station's touchscreen, its surface covered in a dense web of fine cracks that grows thickest and most tangled at the center. Faint menu labels read "Details" and "Price," with a gear icon and a question mark at the edges. Below them, five round buttons in a row each glow with a small red light. At the bottom, a white oval holds the contactless payment symbol beside an outline of a hand holding a card.

A West Palm Beach scene from my car a couple of days ago. I was hoping the thin power lines would complement the detail of the buildings. #photography #blackandwhite #monochrome #cityscape #wpb
Black-and-white photograph of the West Palm Beach, Florida skyline, shown low along the bottom of the frame, beneath a large bank of billowing cumulus clouds. A slender utility pole rises from the bottom edge to the top of the frame just left of center, and six power lines run across the sky, slicing the image into bands. Two construction cranes stand among the buildings on the right, next to a large mid-rise with arched windows and pitched roofs. A palm tree and a few apartment towers anchor the left side. The blurred foreground is a dark, soft-focus strip, suggesting the shot was taken from a moving car.

A long-exposure experiment from earlier this morning. #photography #blackandwhite #monochrome #longexposure #beach #pier
Black and white long-exposure photo looking out from beneath a weathered concrete pier, showing completely blurred ocean water. A dark, cracked deck spans the top, held up by barnacle-crusted pilings that recede symmetrically into the distance. The water is smoothed into a milky mist, and the sky and left and right sides are blown out to pure white due to the higher light level compared to underneath the pier.

Usually I leave the beach once the sun's up too high. Before leaving though, I noticed this 1st birthday photo session happening. Baby is inside the cute teepee. I exposed for shadows to show faces, letting the background blowout. #photography #beach #streetphotography #family #photosession
Color photograph of a family of 5 at a distance, involved in a beach photo session of their 1yr old baby, who they kept out of the direct sun sitting inside a cute little teepee tent.  The background is completely blown out to white due to intense backlight from a midmorning sun.

The ladder's green rails match the signal pole's green almost exactly, as if deliberately coordinated.

Driving to the beach this morning, still dark, had to wait for TriRail (our commuter rail system) to pass. #nightphotography #streetphotography #design #colorplay #train (Another one shot through my windshield. I really gotta start getting out of my car to avoid shooting though suspect glass.)

Got to the beach way too early this morning, it was still quite dark. So decided to try a long exposure, this one 3 1/2 minutes long, just for fun. #photography #pier #sunrise #ocean #longexposure
Long-exposure color photo of a pier stretching into the ocean at sunrise, under a cloudy pink-and-blue sky. The long exposure smooths the water into a soft, misty surface, contrasting with the pier's sharp lines and weathered pilings.

Got to the beach extra early to try some tripod assisted shots, something I haven't done in decades. Of course I forgot a shutter release, so just held down the release button while on the "bulb" setting. Nikon Zf 40mm at f8 25 seconds #minimalist #photography #ocean #pre-sunrise #long-exposure
A color photograph of the ocean before sunrise, taken with a 40mm lens, at f8, which ended up requiring an exposure time of 25 seconds on a tripod.  The image is soft ocean on the lower third of the frame and sky in the upper two thirds.  The ocean water is deep blue and darkish, jumbled but very blurred, while the sky is thick on the horizon, graduating to sky blue by the top of the frame.

Color photograph of a small breaking wave made with a slow shutter speed, so the water blurs into long streaks of dark blue-black and pale silver. The mini wave's crest forms a diagonal dark ridge running from upper left to lower right, with a smaller cresting wave and faint whitewater visible in the bottom right corner.

Color photograph of an arched doorway in a violet/purple wall, closed by a black mesh security gate with two padlocks.

This early morning I was playing around with a new variable neutral density filter for more leeway with aperture selection and shutter speed. Still getting used to it, but it is kinda fun. #photography #blackandwhite #camerablur #ICM #ocean #sunrise #neutraldensityfilter #slowshutter
Black and white long exposure of the ocean at dusk, camera panned side to side so the water's glinting highlights blur into horizontal streaks of light against dark, with a flat grey sky above a low horizon.

Color photograph of a lone, large man wading in waist deep ocean water, during a murky, moody moment at twilight.  A small wave is breaking nearby, and the horizon line is non-existent in the dark blue light.  Overall, there is an existential feel to the image.

Color photography of a woman wading chest-deep in calm ocean water, silhouetted against a golden sunset. She faces away from the camera toward the horizon, arms relaxed and spread out to the sides, resting on the water's surface. The low sun creates a bright vertical reflection streaking across the water directly behind her, with the rest of the sea rendered in warm gold and bronze tones. Small clouds stretch across the sky above, also tinted gold by the fading light. The whole scene has a meditative feel due to the woman's yoga-like posture.

Black-and-white photo of a woman floating on her back in calm ocean water, feet raised above the surface, with a seagull flying near the horizon under a soft, hazy sky.

(This is my new friend at the beach, doing what she can to take in all the benefits of the ocean's healing properties.  To combat her diagnosis, she hits the beach whenever she can, whenever she feels like getting away from the stresses of the day and focusing on just herself and nothing else.)
