Favorites: Summer Scenes 2012

From the garden here at Windermere Studios, to abandoned mines in Utah, and back, my favorites from June, July and August.

Flowers, at least those that I grow myself, are regular subjects. Always striving for just the right light, angle, background bokeh. This is pretty close.

I'm a bit troubled by the shallow dof on this, but wasn't able to get perfect dof and the bee in the right location.

Favorites: May 2012

My favorite photo selection from May is from a visit to the Bay area, and a short road trip incorporating photography on the way to dinner one evening. I honestly don't know where we were! But, it was very pretty.

We stopped at a small park with some old buildings and I played around with detail and depth of field.

We stopped for a gorgeous view of the Bay, from the top of a ridge (possibly Honeymoon Bay) through some very interesting rolling hills and mist.

Love when I can work a bit of photography into business travel. Is one of these a contender for WS top photo 2012?

Favorites: April 2012, Maui

After a stressful and photographically barren March, we traveled to Maui for a wonderful week of sun, surf and sand in April. I've shown many of these photos in my travelogue posts  already. I am pretty find of the whole set, and used many of them in a calendar that I have for sale.

I think that my favorites of the bunch are the sunset from La Perouse Bay:

and the lacy surf at Baldwin Park, near Paia town. 

I've printed them both on aluminum, and they are very nice.
