Using a diorama I created last year and recently repainted. Flooded it with a Cync light in a red hue and splashed the exhausted trooper with a pinch of direct light from my Small Rig RM03.

A recent wind storm deposited some leaves in our front courtyard, so I collected a few for some B&W photography.

Another still life setup. I like the textures that pop in black and white with the dead plants.

Windy distortion”. Having a little fun with filters today. Winds today off the lake are hitting 30-35mph and moving trees. I love the movement in the upper trees.

Some ICM today in the backyard. As the trees lose all the leaves they are the perfect subject along with the bed of leaves on the surrounding ground.
