Cleveland From Terminal Tower

This past weekend the local Cleveland Photo Society had a group shoot high above downtown Cleveland.     It was a pretty sunset and the evening glow of the street and buildings was fun to photograph around dusk.

After the sunset, I started playing with 'light painting'; to create some dynamic energy to the lighting.

You can view all of my images from the sun evening at my photography web site:

Summer Landscapes

With the final days of summer upon us, I thought it would be a good time to share some of the landscapes I've gathered over the last month especially.

The first image I shared about a month ago and it remains one of my favorite summer images.

Here are some black and white images I've been working on lately.

The Chippewa Creek series is an area I've been exploring for almost a year and finally have a feel for when to go and how to process the images.   The ability to return to an area over and over again helps build better images. 

The last two images give a colorful view of summer.   The next image is from a Nature Conservancy protected area that is open to the public - Herrick Fen Nature Preserve.

Finally the latest and is quickly becoming a favorite.   A beautiful sunrise near my home in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park.

Lets hope fall gives us some beautiful color to capture more landscapes.
