William's Sky


This image reminds me a little bit of William  Mallord Turner's painting Crossing the Alps, which I think is in the Tate Gallery, London. The painting consists mostly of sky, and is a depiction of Hannibal crossing the Alps in a snowstorm. This photo was take on my Nikon D200 with a 18-70mm lens. 

Southern Clouds


The last few days in Southern California have been wonderful for viewing clouds. Snow fell in the nearby mountains, and sleet fell in Redlands, with some thunderstorms, so great variety of cloud formations. Nikon D200 with 18-70mm lens.

Linda Vista


Linda Vista is the road seen in the photo. The leveled land was once populated with orange trees, but now awaits better financial times, when houses will be built. The infrared photo took 30 seconds to expose, and was taken on a Fuji FinePix S2 Pro with a Tokina SD 12-24 DX lens, on my rusty trusty tripod.

The Hydrologic Cycle.


Here is a painting I produced for the Water Works exhibit at the Children's Museum in Carson City, Nevada, depicting the Hydrologic Cycle. This was another great opportunity to paint clouds. The medium was acrylic paint on a 60 x 70 inch panel.

Awakening


There has always been experimental photography, but digital photography allows greater freedom for creative play. Nikon D2x camera, with 18-70mm lens.

Cumberland Landscape.


A timeless image of an area in England that has changed little over the centuries. Olympus OM1 camera, with 21mm lens. The sepia effect was added in Photoshop.

Bay Bridge, San Francisco.


The Bay area around San Francisco is a great place to view and photograph clouds, with many interesting vantage points. This photo was taken on Treasure Island with my Olympus OM1, and a 21mm lens.
