Sand Portrait

Posted by Imagery Photography on

I have been occasionally taking self portraits since I first started photography in the 1960’s. This year the term “selfie” became a word according to The Webster Dictionary. I can’t think of a better word to describe our inward looking, self indulgent, jerk off culture of the modern times in which we live.

I feel kind of sorry for those who feel the need to document their lives by pointing a phone camera at their faces in front of a famous place or building. If nothing else ask another person with a camera to take your picture where your face isn’t terribly distorted by your cheap camera phone lens and you can actually see the beauty of your location. I am happy to do this and am asked frequently to take a souvenir picture for someone when I travel.

This my latest self portrait with my wife at Clearwater Beach.

Sunset Sail

Posted by Imagery Photography on

There is a major reason I like West Florida better than East Florida. On the east coast everyone gets up early to see the sunrise over the beach. I don’t like getting up too early. On the West coast everyone heads for the beach to see the Sunset. A perfect time of day to see nature’s beauty and most days there are beautiful sunsets at Clearwater Beach. The only thing better would be to on one of those sailboats.

Our time in the southland is drawing to a close. Soon we will be winding our way north ending our southern hiatus will end. Like the Robin, hopefully we will be the harbinger of an early Spring. Like this image, golden warm sunsets will be shadows until summer arrives.

Throw Away Sunset

Posted by Imagery Photography on

When we got back from Cancun in December, I published a few sunset pictures. This one never made the cut. I had uploaded the image but never published it.

Last night was a beautiful night in Clearwater, but the sunset was lame. I waited and waited but it just sank, no clouds or haze means a lame sunset. I could have told you this one was from last night, but it was actually the reject from Cancun…sigh, truth is hard.

Perfect Flare

Posted by Imagery Photography on

When shooting directly into the sun you can get an unwanted reflection off the lens elements within the lens. This is known as lens flare. Sometimes you can’t see these in the viewfinder and when shooting sunsets it is best to frequently slightly change your angle to assure you capture an image without flares.

I could have tried for days to create this flare without success. It almost looks as if a spotlight is on this couple watching the sunset.
