The Dark of the Moon

Luke Nelson One night, a couple of months ago, I noticed that we had a full moon that was much larger than usual, so I switched out my usual camera lens for a much larger one. I stood up on a dining table on my back porch and zoomed in as far as I could,Continue reading “The Dark of the Moon”

I wanted my subject to be wearing color that contrasted heavily with the red paint, so a yellow shirt was perfect. By coincidence, the yellow shirt also created a cool reflection off theContinue reading “The Red Collection”
