WonderLand – Aimishboy Photography
Incredible macro photography from Nadav Bagim, of Israel. He sets up miniature scenes on his kitchen table, adds an insect or two, and the results are nothing less than fantastic. The color that he manages to bring out in his photos is amazing in it’s own right, but add that to the nature of each…

Ft. Fisher, NC – Rocks and Sky
Here I stand,Once again,On my tiny speck of dust.Peering out of the blackness,Looking at the lights,With a heart full of wonder.And just for an instant,I perceive the Cosmos,And I blow the stars awayLike dandelion seeds.

Beached Whale on Carolina Beach.
A small whale washed up on the beach here in Wilmington. It apparently is a Minke Whale. There is no cause of death at the moment, but officials from the local aquarium are picking up the carcass at some point to do a necropsy. The whale was torn up quite a bit, with a huge…

A little light, a little luck.
[singlepic id=317 w=320 h=240 float=left]Here’s a shot of a bridge that I took deep in the mountains of Alum Rock in San Jose, CA. I just came across this sitting on my hard drive and realized I’d never really shared it with anyone. Now, this was taken with a Droid X, but it’s a pretty…

Poor Mans Macro 2.0
I wrote a few days ago about a method of using a standard lens for macro photography. I shared only a few photos that day, but there were many shots that turned out well. I thought about going through the whole set and picking and choosing which ones to share with you, but then I…

Poor man’s macro
[singlepic id=232 w=240 h=160 float=left]Macro lenses are hard to come by if you’re on a shoestring budget. Luckily, there is a trick for us DSLR owners. Simply turn your lens around backwards. I experimented this evening with the technique, and got some surprising results while shooting a bouquet of roses that I gave to my…

Dark Sky in the Middle of the Day
Today was such a nice day; the sun came out (it’s been rainy for weeks), the temperature rose (mid 70’s!), and I found myself with some time to do something creative. I haven’t had my camera out since before Christmas, so I came up with a little plan for myself. I’m going to try to…

Chris VenHaus
Hi folks, sorry I haven’t posted anything here lately – the end of the school year brought me the toughest set of exams yet, but I somehow made my way through and now I am an honest to goodness official college graduate, with an AAS degree in Nuclear Technology. So now that school is over…

Captured: America in Color from 1939-1943 – Plog Photo Blog
Thanks to my friend Paul, I came across this set of photographs from the early 40’s. They’re in color! These images show us a time when there was no internet, no television, no X-box or Wii, and definitely no cell phones. And yet, these people manage to get along just fine. You can see a…

Zebra Swallowtail on Zinnia
A few weeks ago I noticed a butterfly at work. It was flapping around on the ground, so I knew it wouldn’t live much longer. So I decided I’d bring him home, show him to the girls so they could get a good close look at a butterfly. I put him between two small paper…

Pond Lilies
I happened across a small drainage pond tucked away behind the Verizon store yesterday. I barely noticed it as I was driving up, and I happened to have my camera in the Jeep. So when I was done at Verizon (ordering my Droid X!) I grabbed the trusty Rebel and walked over to the pond…
