As I’ve been working to prepare for the the The Bethlehem Christmas Project, I started thinking of some of the images I have collected over the years during my time on the ground. Some of them are poignant and some are whimsical like this one. I plan on posting a few here and there as we get closer to December.
The one you see here is of a camel at the Caves of Qumran (the site where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found). At the time, I was shooting with a Rebel XTI and an EF 75-300 lens – that lens died on that trip. This is one of the last images I was able to shoot with it.
By the way, if you can zoom in, you will see flies on the camel and buzzing around him. The downsizing for getting this on the web obscures them to a certain degree, but they are there.
Today’s Photo was shot the same day I shot the Winter Garden Water Tower just as a storm was moving in. It’s a 3 exposure HDR with some tweaks in topaz adjust.By the way, I’m in Jacksonville, FL as I write this and tomorrow will be St. Augustine. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to post, but will definitely try.
Another one from my whirlwind tour around Epcot’s World Showcase
Another one from Epcot’s World Showcase as a storm was rolling in. You can see it had just rained
I shot this while helping a friend during a model shoot.
Another one from Winter Garden Fire Department, Tower 22. This one is Lieutenant Shawn Kelly.
I had the opportunity to spend some time with the team at Winter Garden Fire Department, Tower 22. I captured this image for Fireman Jeff Justice. I did nothing to setup this scene other than to step into the truck and setup up my tripod in the little room I had.
Giant coke bottles at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The park closed at 10 but was in the back around 10:30 and was able to capture this image. It was the last shot of the night before heading home.
This truck can be found on the far right immediately after entering Disney’s Hollywood Studios
