Beautiful Formosa

Images of Taiwan.

The Majestic Works of God (aka Niagara Falls)

too beautiful for words....

Summer Picnic Photos

"Tree Face" - taken at a local Putt Putt golf course.

"Raceway Sky"- The sky over a Go-kart track taken by my lovely wife!

Dog in shadow

I just like the way this one looks...

More Beach pictures

Life's a beach!

Fun times at the beach in Japan.

Birds!

A few of my faves from my visit to a bird sanctuary in Japan.

Doggie Dayz

Taken at the People's Park in Taichung. Apparently on nice weekends the place becomes a dog show! Lots of dogs, lots of people with cameras - I felt right at home!

Peacefulness of nature

After enjoying a Resurrection Sunday worship service, I went off to "commune with nature" and took these shots (taken at the Taichung Folklore Park).

Starfish and Statue

More highlights from my recent museum trip. I got a good closeup of a Starfish in a tank (great view of its underside) and then took this shot of a statue in front of this building on the way back to my hotel.

Snake - FULLY shedded

This snake took the whole shedding his skin thing a BIT too far...

Showing off another new lens...

Just picked up my very own "Nifty Fifty" (50mm f1.8 lens). Took it for a spin at the Taiwan National Museum of Natural History. I think I'm going to like this lens a lot...

Rainbow Birds

A statue in front of the Taichung Dept. of Health building.

Horse & Rider

Photographed in front of this beautiful antiques shop in Taichung. I love how the image stands out against the modern city in the background, almost like he's lost in time.

Bull Rider 2 - Fun with Effects

A few samples as I teach myself Paint.NET

Bull Rider

I got this shot at a fair last Saturday in Ithaca. Blur effect (on everyone other than the bull rider) courtesy of Paint.NET.

Don't go chasing waterfalls...

...Especially not in the Winter!

More Trees

A little fun with closeups... testing out the bokeh on my Sigma 18-200 Dc OS. This was was taken at 1/80 f14
I love the visual of the snow falling in the tree shot...

My favorite subject

I love my little dog Pierre... he's the only one in the family that isn't "camera shy"...

Snow Trees

This freshly snowed on tree outside my house gave me the perfect opportunity to try out my new Sigma 18-200 DC OS lens...
