Birds Flying on Outer Banks new art

A new photo / work of art has been added to the online gallery.  It is of a flock of birds taking a break from their morning commute, flying and sitting on the pilings of an old pier.  The original fine art photograph was taken shortly after sunrise on a cold February morning on Ocracoke Island of the Outer Banks in North Carolina.

There is always lots of bird activity on the Outer Banks before and during sunrise.  The original fine art photo was painted to give it the style of a painting and texture was added to give it a surreal, abstract style.  The image produced is original and can never be exactly duplicated again.  This is a good generic image and would look good hanging on a wall in almost any room or location.

Outer Banks Beach Monster in black and white

I recently added a new fine art black & white infrared photograph to the gallery of an old, weathered tree stump on a beach on the Outer Banks of North Carolina.  I've taken numerous pictures of this old stump at various times of the day in various seasons.  It has been weathered, ground down by the surf, and pushed around by storms.  But even so, it always remained on the beach and I was able to find it.

Some people like black & white photos, some do not.  Additionally, some people like the abstract, surreal qualities of infrared, some don't.  I personally like this picture, the surreal qualities, and the way the infrared darkened the sky and created surreal sand dunes in the background.  This is true infrared photography, not faked as other photographers often do in photoshop.

The texture and grain in the wood is beautiful and can be seen in other (color) photos of it that will be added to the galleries in the future.  I included this black & white fine art infrared photo of it because here it almost looks like some hairy monster crawling across the sand.  The picture would definitely be a conversation starter when hanging framed on a wall.

The location of the picture was on Pea Island on the Outer Banks of North Carolina.  The photo was taken on a warm August morning shortly after sunrise.

Outer Banks Beach at Night Before Sunrise

A new fine art photograph has been added to the online galleries. It is a night photography photo taken on an Outer Banks beach in North Carolina in the early morning before the first light of the sunrise.

I have found that people either love or hate night photography. I personally like this picture because of the beautiful, deep blue night sky. In addition, the way the photo was lighted isloates the driftwood bush and the sand dune it is on, creating a simple uncluttered scene.

The picture was taken by placing the camera on a tripod, using the self time, then manually lighting the scene from a position just a little left of the camera. The image was captured on a cold winter morning on the Outer Banks. The location was Hatteras Island.
