Summer Flying
Summer flying has returned with hot, humid and hazy air. There were also thunder storms popping up along the Catoctin Mountains. The photo was taken on about a 3 mile final to the airport in York, PA. Funky things happen when one shoots through an old Plexiglas window and then a propeller spinning at 2300 rpm, but I like the photo.

Heirloom Tomatoes
These were at the farmer's market in Rockville today. They were about the only vegetables on display that were not in harsh noonish light.

Banana Bread
My good wife made it tonight and of course I had to take a picture. And that of course required slicing the warm bread. And of course, I just couldn't let that piece just sit there.

Strawberries
I dropped the strawberries into a small fish tank this time. I need to work on this kind of shot more.

I tried the technique on some what I believe is "Depression Glass" that came from a set my mother had.

Wine Glass Experiment #3
So now I tried a real wine glass with some real wine, good wine, I might add. The top of the glass and bottle are too dark for my taste, and lighting the top with a Speedlite through an umbrella resulted in too many nasty reflections. I need a softbox.

Glass Experiment #2
Ok, I am on a photographing glass kick. The top of the buffet in our kitchen is smokey glass and is perfect to put a Speedlite under it to light the glass on top.

Strawberries in a Glass Experiment #1
I have seen this type of shot many times, and tried to replicate it. I need a lot more practice.
