This color photograph features a thick forest of tall, thin bamboo trees. Two other trees with black trunks break the visual symmetry of the glowing green colors of the bamboo trees.

Horizontally across the bottom of the photograph, golden-colored grasses contrast with the vertical green lines of the bamboo trees.

Standing amid these soaring stalks of bamboo is like being in another world.

"The Stare" 2023 “Photographs capture a split second in time that would otherwise be lost forever. It’s magic, really.” 👀 New leitzinger.photography 🏷️ #HumansOfBlueSky #photography #ClassicMono #Monochrome #BlackAndWhite #UrbanGaze #HighContrast #BNW #B&W #BlackAndWhitePhotography #portrait

In this black and white photograph, a young girl sits in a kitchen staring directly at the camera as late afternoon sunshine streams through a window. Half her face is hidden by deep shadows, which focuses on one captivating eye that engages the viewer with its intensity. The harsh lighting creates a mysterious atmosphere.

Split lighting is a photography lighting technique that lights the subject from the side to achieve a dramatic look for portraits where half of the subject’s face is lit and the other half is in shadow.

A split light pattern is perfect for dramatic, dark and moody portraits. Since you can see only half the face, it creates a sense of mystery, of something hidden, even a little intimidating.

I took this photograph of an historic steam locomotive getting ready to embark at Strasburg Rail Road. The photograph is taken looking at the front of the train as the train tracks recede into the distance. This creates a three dimensional perspective for the viewer.

The Strasburg Rail Road traverses a storied 9-mile round trip through 2,500 acres of the picturesque Lancaster County Amish countryside, powered by the raw strength of a historic steam locomotive.

Perhaps one of the most delightful insect visitors to your garden is the hummingbird moth. They fly and move just like hummingbirds.

Like them, they can remain suspended in the air in front of a flower while they unfurl their long tongues and insert them in flowers to sip their nectar. They even emit an audible hum like hummingbirds.

GREAT BLUE HERONS can fly at speeds up to 30 miles per hour while holding their large necks curved into an S-shape.

Hollow bones: Standing over 4 feet tall with a wingspan up to 6.5 feet, these giant birds surprisingly weigh only 5 to 6 pounds.

Largest in North America: They are the biggest heron species found on the continent.

Feathered ninjas: They hunt by standing completely still in shallow water before launching their specialized S-shaped neck forward like a spring.

Not just fish: While fish are a favorite, their diet includes frogs, snakes, rodents, insects, and even small birds.

Swallowed whole: They gulp their meals down entirely whole and can sometimes bite off more than they can chew.

Built-in washcloth: They have special "powder down" chest feathers that continuously grow and fray; they use a special claw to groom themselves and remove fish slime.

Massive nests: Their stick nests can measure up to 4 feet across and are often reused and added to year after year.

Rookeries: They gather in noisy breeding colonies in the tops of trees called heronries, sometimes holding up to 500 nests.
