*CantBuyMeLove*'s photostream  

Title taken from lyrics in the song To Love Somebody by The Bee Gees. Such a great song that's probably more well known for the many cover versions. From Joe Cocker, Janis Joplin, Tom Jones, Leonard Cohen to my favorite, Nina Simone. There's also a great cover out there by my favorite artist Ray LaMontagne.

What do people normally write down here when they're way behind on their Flickr duties? Hmm...

Can't wait to catch up with everyone!!

So color has returned to my photostream...courtesy of the Hasselblad. Tulip season is over, but continues without end throughout the Flickr year.

Enjoy!!

This image is from the Virginia side of Great Falls along the Potomac River. Although only 20 minutes away, I often pass on photographic opportunities here due to an ongoing frustration with compositions in these relatively tight confines. There's about a 15 meter drop from the rest of the park to the water level, so your only two options are either from high above or all the way down...little in between. After seeing some recent images from contacts Jeff and Chris, I brought myself to return during some nice cloud cover knowing that really nice compos are possible...and I had to find one.

With three images in a row I may be on some sort of black and white long-exposure kick. Someone please remind me for some color next time around :)

180 seconds of exposure and indecision...I still don't know if I prefer the b&w or color version (+1). There was about 30 minutes of great light and cloud movement yesterday morning above the Chesapeake Bay that quickly turned to straight sun. I was surprised at being the only photographer at this location as it's usually a busy spot, but maybe the 5:55 sunrise had something to do with that :)

Flickr friend Ed Kreis recently posted a seascape from this location and inspired me to revisit some images I took there a few months ago and quickly cast into the "maybe later" folder. After several processing attempts I finally came to this point where I found it Flickr worthy. Little action in the overcast skies or low tide, but I like the overall smoothness from top to bottom...something I've never been able to purposely capture ;) Will definitely return here during more ideal conditions and try for some more creative compos. The misty drizzle was obnoxiously annoying.

The weekend is within reach...ENJOY!!
