These are all done with a small handheld digital, not bad but I'd like to do better. Been looking at digital SLRs for awhile but they're just not in the budget for now. Especially for a mere hobby that I dabble in. Someday...
I see something and I can see in my head the image I want to capture, but it's beyond the capabilites of my current camera. A close up in detail, low light conditions, or something in motion. Even better, something in black and white. The effects of light and shadow can be amazing as I've seen in the work of friends who are far better than I am.
But for now, I leave you with these images that captured my imagination. Hope you get something from them as I did.
