This deer was munching on the apple trees across from my house.  Connecticut has seen an abundance of deers throughout the past several years to the point of becoming problematic.  They do, however, make for nice photographs.  

This still life was kind of fun to put together.  I simply purchased these inexpensive fruit drinks at the local grocery store and tore off the labels.  The bottles were made of plastic not glass.  Only advantage with the plastic was that they reflected light less than glass would have. I […]

This was simply my attempt at creating “bokeh” through the use of small lights.  The right shutter speed and aperture is fairly critical.
