Simplicity

During our trip to Kansas City, we visited Powell Gardens. This is a wonderful garden with flowers, waterfalls, and butterflies! So much to photograph. It was overcast with rain off and on with made for some wonderful flower photography. Here I focused in on a lily pad flower and the dark background really helped contrast the image and made the flower pop.

Power and Light

This image was taken in Kansas City as well, in the Power and Light District. This particular evening, the lead singer of Boston was performing at the KC Live, which is at the far right of the image. I used a long exposure with the street in the foreground to capture the streaks of the headlights of the cars passing by.

Musical Infinity

Over the weekend, my family and I went to Kansas City for a photo shoot with some members of the BetterPhoto website. We went to several places that I have never been and I had the opportunity to photograph some unique items. This particular photograph was taken of the inside of an old piano that was at the historic Harris-Kearney House in Westport. I used a wide angle lens very close with a large aperature in order to place the focus on a few of the strings.

Floral Patterns

On an overcast day at the arboretum, I focused on the center of this flower and the interesting patterns intentionally throwing the rest of the flower out of focus.

Silent Transition

A storm was rolling through on this particular evening and I headed out to Boyer Chute National Wildlife Refuge to setup a prairie/sky shot. I found this interesting tree stump instead and used it to anchor the scene with the sky.

Someday we'll find it...

This is the last photograph that was taken during the storm near Herman, Nebraska. In this image, I offsetted the rainbow in the distance with the fence in the foreground. I also captured a bit of the reflection of the rainbow in the rain water in the fields.

Unordinary World

This summer Nebraska has had some spectacular boomers. This was an image I actually captured in early June as one rolled through. I drove up to Herman, Nebraska in order to capture what I though was the most intense part of the storm (from a distance) only to find out that it had been pretty intense in Omaha. This image was taken after the "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" photograph previously. I will post one more photo from this evening.
