Living life in travel, photography and scuba diving.
Coffee. It's how I start the day.

I'm continuing to shoot still lifes while recovering from surgery. While at the store, I saw the Buddha Hand Citron. I decided to buy a nice looking one (had a lot of fingers) and take a photo 😀.

Based on thoughts from a photographer friend of mine, whose opinion I value, these are alternative versions of yesterday's photos. He said "It needs more back light."

The only difference is the time of day. These are from 3:15 PM versus 5:30 PM for the prior shots.

A couple more still life shots. The original shot and the toned version.

A couple shots from my Grand Cayman dive trip in March of 2024.

Chickens run wild there.
Sunsets are beautiful.

Art of the recovery.

On Wednesday, I had a little surgery. It went well and I am recovering now. This gives me a chance to play with still life photography and a couple of DxO tools I haven't used before.

Because I can't drive for a few days, the subjects are items in and around my house.
