Practice, practice… I’ve been very frustrated lately because I haven’t been able to get out of the office and up to Yosemite for waterfalls, reflections in the meadow, corn lilies in the high country. Fortunately, my water lilies are in… Continue Reading →
Last week, I was in the Toronto area with my family for a wedding. I brought along my camera and a few lenses in case I found inspiration. Staying at our family’s home, I took a short walk about their… Continue Reading →
Here is my favorite image from Saturday May 7th in Yosemite. The dogwood were beautiful, and I had a blast! More to come! I posted this image on FB earlier but loaded the wrong jpg. Enjoy, and please give me… Continue Reading →
I have lived in the Sierra for 33 years, and I have always been thrilled when seeing the first buckeyes popping out in early spring. The leaves come out so fast that I have never caught that moment I have… Continue Reading →
For the past couple of months, I have been watching this calla plant growing in my living/dining room area. The light comes through two different windows to light the leaves to various effect. This past Sunday, I finally saw a… Continue Reading →
New photo from Thursday morning. I think that this image will make a strong addition to my Morning Light portfolio. Enjoy! Bill William Neill’s eBooks
I have been watching my crop of sunflowers carefully now for several weeks, observing the flowers closely. They say timing is everything, and yesterday morning I “harvested” this flower bringing it into my “studio” which in this case was the… Continue Reading →
I have a small pond adjacent to my backyard patio, and the lilies are in bloom! I made this image on Sunday, using two frames stitched together in Photoshop CS5. To fulfill my concept, I cut the flower, then placed… Continue Reading →
Here is another image in my new Cally Lily series, this one from the third day of this setup. As with the previous image, this photograph was made with Photomatix, this time with seven exposures. The morning sun is coming… Continue Reading →
Earlier this week, I received three calla lilies to photograph. For three days, I left them in a corner of my dining room where I have found magic light in the past (see blog post from October 2009). I hung… Continue Reading →
This last weekend, I was mowing my grass (electric mower, not gas!). I noticed a mushroom and picked it. Then I plucked out the stem so I could photograph the radiating pattern. I tried various framing options including full mushroom… Continue Reading →
On Sunday morning, I discovered these great ice patterns in my bucket of landscape pebbles. The “bucket” is a rectangular cement mixing bucket which I bought when I was building my waterfall feature on my back patio 9 years ago. … Continue Reading →
John and I have been working on more scans from my 4×5 film archive. It has been rewarding to finally make use of these images, but also frustrating to see how many good images are languishing in my filing cabinets. … Continue Reading →

I made this image yesterday on my patio. The water reflects my ochre-colored wall. I have been watching the light for when the stones and water were in shadow but the wall remained lit. I was trying to find a… Continue Reading →
Last weekend, after we had an icy storm that knocked our power out, I made this macro photo. I had never noticed an “ice drop” of water like this before. Amazing patterns. This drop was on a young oak tree… Continue Reading →
I am posting the color rendition of my Agave, Hawaii photograph. I am very pleased with both versions. Do you prefer one over the other? I am leaning towards the BW version, but still love the rich color and strong… Continue Reading →
Here is a newly scanned 4×5 image of an agave taken on Maui in 1994. We are working on both color and BW versions, and found many compelling directions. Thanks to John O’Connor for the great scanning and PS work. … Continue Reading →
Here is a new image, taken on Thursday in my backyard. I make my own ice pond by leaving out a large, rectangular bucket and checking the results for potential photos in the morning. This was my favorite of the… Continue Reading →
Wishing you a Happy New Year! A few weeks ago, I gave these roses to my wife for our 21st wedding anniversary. Then, as I have done many years previously, I borrowed them for a photo session! This photo was… Continue Reading →
