Featured Information
Due to my recent move to the Lake of the Ozarks, along with the Covid issues, I am currently not teaching group classes. However, I am available for private individual or very small group, in-the-field teaching, where we can safely learn more about our cameras and our photographic techniques..

From Michigan to Missouri
During my hikes around Snowball Hill Prairie, I ran across a couple of Michigan Lilies (Lilium michiganense) that had just begun blooming! This was a new wildflower for me, one I had not seen before. Quite a lovely find in the middle of a prairie! Here are a couple of images I captured: After capturing […]
Eye Candy
While hiking the nearby prairie meadow the other morning, I came upon a wonderful subject for using the focus-stacking technique, a thistle in full bloom. With all the nooks and crannies of this lovely wildflower, focus-stacking was a good choice to capture most all of the flower in focus, while still keeping the background out-of-focus. […]

Wildflowers were literally everywhere as we jeeped up and over California Pass. I decided to play with focus-stacking with […]

Growing only 4-12″ tall, and with flower heads to 1-inch wide, when you find a nice clump of them growing, it can be a wonderful sight! Here are a few of my favorite images: And here is an 8 image focus-stacked macro I combined: […]

Shades of Red
During my Colorado wildflower road trip, I saw several species of Indian Paintbrush, each being a different color. Today’s post features one of the reddish varieties: I captured 15 images of the last image, varying the focus point and combining them together to get a nice, in-focus image (focus-stacking): I’ll share some of the other […]
