It’s October, which means you can shoot wonderful sunset pictures and work on these to get some nice color in the sunset through post processing. Here are just two of my last shots which I made on Friday October 1st, bottom picture, and today October 2nd, the top picture. The top one is made with […]
Grasshopper Macro Close Ups

Winnie The Pooh Burning Candle
