Here's a shot of the Pennybacker Bridge in Austin, Texas. I took this after midnight under a full moon on a warm Friday night late last summer. I had to wait a while to claim a good spot amongst all the young couples having a late-night "picnic." I shot this at f/8, ISO 200 for 30 seconds on a sturdy Manfrotto tripod. The wind was blowing harder than the photo suggests, so I had to hold down the tripod for the duration of the exposure to keep it steady, and it's a fairly heavy tripod. I wasn't planning on working out the old guns that night! I think by the time I took this particular shot my arms were shaking from all the work, so I do notice a bit more softness than I'd like in the image. Hopefully someone out there enjoys it...

This was taken for the photography club at my school. It is green Palmolive dish soap on a cup. The color is natural and comes from the soap refracting the light from the SB-600 flash.

A sunny day this winter in Nevada. Would love to return when the desert flowers are in bloom.

Taken outdoors on a winter's night in the hills. The fog was created using an outdoor smoke machine. The light source on the other side was a spotlight.

Trying out a new lens in the backyard. I liked how the lines and color turned out.
