Some really cool poppin’ landscapes are what you’ll see if you decide to follow this link to Peter Barta’s landscape gallery.

The one thing I could do without is all the dark vignetting, which is a very minor distraction when compared with all the beautiful qualities.

Now that you’ve seen some really cool landscapes, don’t forget to back up your photo library!

Just got a lead on an amazing landscape/wildlife photographer, Kevin Barry.  He shoots in Black and White, color, up close and panoramic.  All with amazing style and grace.

My favorite at this point is a B&W barn:

After you view Kevin’s portfolio, do yourself and your family a favor… back up all your digital pictures.

Now debuting, our family pet, Sissy!  She’s a 7 year old 3 pound Yorkie.  Two Canon speedlights at 45 degree offsets behind umbrellas with a straw grid snoot doing the highlight (trusty 285HV).  All triggered with Cactus v4 wireless triggers.

I feel like doing something big!  Not sure what though.  Thought about shooting a graphic form some of my friends status on FaceBook.  There’s one status that talks about Metrosexuals, if I knew what that really was maybe I could photograph it.  With that thought I’ll leave you with this…

This little girl has it all.  She’s got the look that makes me crumble into a little puddle of goo.  Post processing was done solely in Lightroom – Setting was on cold tone.
