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 →
I have been very overwhelmed with work and thus have a large backlog of images to process. I made this image last month at Happy Isle in Yosemite, which is an amazing place anytime but especially during high water. This… 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 →
This morning, I photographed a wonderful spreading oak tree with brilliant morning sunlight. Since the contrast was strong and I was aiming into the sun, I made seven exposures with .5 stops between frames. After importing the files in Lightroom,… Continue Reading →
Happy Earth Day! Today is a day to honor the beauty of our Earth, and reflect upon how we can live our lives that will best preserve this sacred creation we live on. In 1976, I received a BA in… Continue Reading →
Here is a newly processed image, made in March, from the same Coarsegold, CA location I’ve earlier posted on my blog: http://bit.ly/fJHRRw. I made the image above with low-angle sunlight on the first morning, then returned the next morning when… Continue Reading →
Last Friday, I drove my daughter to school in a spring snowstorm. On my way home, I stopped at a favorite pond. The flakes fell furiously, with that silent energy of falling snow. The meadow and oaks were white, the… Continue Reading →
I am trying to catch up with processing all the images I’ve made in the last few months. It has been a very productive time for me! Here is one taken on February 2o. I have already posted another image… 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 →
Life is full of lessons. When I went to Yosemite Valley a few weeks ago, as with every spring for 33 years, I tried to create a new dogwood images. I always gravitate to the same tree where I have… Continue Reading →
I am posting one of the waterfall photographs that I took on Mother’s Day in Yosemite. It was raining as I photographed. Using my Tilt Shift lens, I exposed three frames that I later stitched together using Photoshop CS5. You… Continue Reading →
I continue to edit my Cally Lily images. I made a few new Impressions of Light images. Here is one of them. Would love to hear your comments! Cheers, Bill I haven’t had time to fully edit my Yosemite images… 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 →
