For days I walked by this flower patch observing an amazing flurry of bee business around the cone flowers. Today I felt the need to document these hard working determined pollinators.

Title or Location: West Des Moines, Iowa
This is a photo that I took with a new DJI Mini 3 Pro drone that I just purchased. This is actually the first photo I've taken with it. I flew it from my backyard over to the west side of West Des Moines. I knew I wanted to test it out in low light conditions with a sunset.

Title or Location: Front yard garden patch of home in Des Moines, Iowa. August 2023.
The flower patch is located a short distance from the front door of our home. Everyday I walk by this area and observe the bees busy doing their bee work. On this day I felt it was a good day to capture the splendor and elegance of their activity in the flower patch. This picture was taken in Des Moines, Iowa with the Nikon D500 and Sigma 150mm Macro Lens.

Title or Location: The pond between Jamie Hurd Amphitheater and the West Des Moines Public Library, 4100 Mills Civic Pkwy, West Des Moines, IA 50265
As I was taking my usual evening stroll around the pond that separates the Jamie Hurd Amphitheater from the West Des Moines Public Library, the sky began to turn a brilliant shade of gold. It was 8:07 pm and the sun was setting into the thick blanket of Canadian wildfire smoke that had wafted for days above the Great Plains. As the fireball dipped into the fountain, its rays filtered through the mist with a startling prismatic effect that coaxed brilliant shades of red and green into view. At t

The resulting standing water gives a great reflection in reverse.45mm 1/30 f4

Title or Location: Christmas Boxer
I was testing out a new backdrop that I purchased for a family mini Christmas shoot that I have coming up. I used to make my children be my models but since they are grown Zeus, my boxer, was such a good boy and was my model. This was shot on a Canon EOS 6D with the EF 24-105mm f/4L at 24mm, ISO 320, 1/160. I used two Alien B800 strobes with white umbrellas.
