And launching a new smugmug powered web site at www.ejpphoto.com
I’m still blogging though - you can still follow me at Musings of the Great Eric, which I’ll be folding a lot more photography related discussion (you can bookmark or subscribe to just the photography category if you don’t want the other junk).
The main reason is that I’m trying to consolidate and cut down on the number of projects I have going. One blog is easier to stay on top of than two.
Just a little footnote, this blog is on temporary hiatus while I build out a few more projects I’m working on. I’ll have more details in a couple of days, just be aware that I’m not dead or anything. 
Absolutely the cool Flickr visualization ever. Don’t click if you want to get anything else accomplished today.

Title: Without Color by Me
|
Flowers are so wonderfully colorful that a photographer’s instinct (mine, at least) is to simply shoot the color. Bright, beautiful color.
But I think flowers in black and white have their charm as well - it takes the focus off of color and lets us appreciate the other aspects that might otherwise be missed - the shape, the form, the patterns, etc. Plus, the black and white tones have a beauty in their own right, don’t you think?

Bloody hell, it got hot today, in the 80’s and humid. Bleh.

Title: Lego Porn by Me
|
Sometimes a macro lens and a splash of color is all you need for a photo. Of course, it also helps if you’re an adult that never really grew out of his Lego fixation…

Title: The Edge of Darkness
|
One easy way to get silhouettes is to shoot into the late day sun, which is what I did here.
I missed the last couple of days worth of posts here. No excuses really… it’s just that blogging is a labor of love, and I don’t always love it. Anyway, I’ve put up posts for Monday and Tuesday, and I’m back to my regular posting schedule.

Title: Defying Gravity by Me
|
Ducks are my favorite animal to shoot. Mostly, that’s because they’re among the few wild animals I can find around where I live and they let me get relatively close to them, but I also happen to think they’re cute (which puts me in some sort of minority).
Anyway, I think this shot illustrates that timing is everything. A fraction of a second after the shutter went, he was in the air, jumping into the water. But in this thin slice of time, he was maintaining an impossible pose over the edge.
