I am planning on updating my DxO software so I went and looked around what I currently have. One thing lead to another, next thing I know I’m trying a few things in Silver Efex.

I struggled for this shot, this is not exactly a huge Mushroom, the bad back kicking in. Ellen came in to the rescue. She just took the camera and climbed down for the perfect angle.

On a vine climbing up the side of a pine tree. It had one single Moon Flower on this night.

I was looking around for some new Snowy Egret shots. I’ve published Great Egrets recently, even have a few in the que, but no little Snowy Egrets. My current active hard drive has thousands of images I just had to go find some Snowy’s.
I found some.
Two Snowy Egrets in some brush preening and getting all fluffy. For something different I finished them in a sepia tone.

From the original 1800’s Charleston Jail.
Best viewed large.
Note;
In 2019 a group of around 8 people were invited to document the old jail for what might have been the last time. The property had been sold to private developers, the interior was set to be demolished. The original interior was intact at this point.
Ellen and I, along with a well known historical photographer who was instrumental in getting us there, were included. The above was one of my favorite, and horrific, images.
Think of being in the dark cell, thick bars and block walls, and seeing the keys hanging across the hall… out of reach. Stedt Bonneau, the Gentleman Pirate, and the crew of Black Beard’s pirates were held here before execution.
During the late 1800’s a section was set aside as an asylum.
I’ll be locking my door tonight.
I’m not really sure why, but the old nondescript headstones I find intrigue me. Most off to the side, on their own, their story long gone.
The least I can do is photograph them, give them some recognition.

This old cemetery has dirt tracks that run along side marshes, woods, and ponds. Sometimes there’s a plan on where to go, most often I just wander. No matter what it’s an incredible place to be with a camera.

As Ellen said this morning, “the gift that just keeps giving”.
This morning was the first time in months we had no Moon Flowers out back. I walked all around, even checked behind the pine it’s been climbing.
The good news is we have gotten warmer again and there are a few buds scattered around. I’ve shot so many flowers that lately I didn’t bother. I’ll check tonight/tomorrow though. Most likely the last (I’ve said that before though).

Even the old plastic fantastic came out to shoot a few.
