photoshop.  sparks from a fire on a black background, overlay it, set it to blend mode screen and mask out the subject.  another option i see used a lot are fireworks.  cherry bombs and other small incendiaries.

the creative possibilities are endless.  generally with landscape images i can imagine the scene and explore it in streetview or photos and decide how i want to shoot it.  with toys, there’s no limitations.  anything i can imagine can be created.

another great b&w image.  the starburst through the trees is a good touch.

great b&w tones!

thanks federico.

have fun reading.  practical photography always seemed like a good magazine to me.  it had some technical content to learn from and not just articles about what was the latest gizmo from one of the top two brands for the month.

thanks rob.  this shot was a lot of fun to do and it’s one of my favorites to date.

thanks dahlia.  i was pretty happy with this one.  just ordered it as 4×6″ greeting cards for the shop.

thanks dahlia

great use of minimalism and negative space.

beautiful little flower.  can’t say i’ve ever seen it where i live, but we do have it’s bigger brother, the geranium.

nicely done dave.  good 3/4 view on the bee.
