Over the past few weeks I've been very distracted, and away from Dreamstime. But I'm back, and uploading away once more! This is just so much fun, and it helps to drive me to remember my camera at all times!!! Too bad I keep missing the bobcat that's been within 20 feet of my place.

Something I've always wanted to learn more about is Macro Photography. So, I've started experimenting. I'm still waiting for a few more photos to be key worded (my favorite is still in process), but in the meantime thought I would share one of the latest uploads.

I'll be learning more over the next few weeks about macros as I experiment with my new 50mm Canon macro lens, and my little desktop studio! And I'll be looking at other people's portfolios to see what inspires them to create ...

Wow, already made it to 200. And I just haven't been shooting too much lately. Pesky job I keep going to has kept me inside too often.

Next week I'll be traveling to Anza-Borrego in California. What does Anza-Borrego promise? How about desert palms, rare desert wild flowers, and big horn sheep. And I completely forgot, an area of Badlands in the high desert as well.

So, a 5 day trip in a beautiful area with so many photographic opportunities. Hopefully I'll produce some worthwhile shots that will work well for Dreamstime. Maybe I'll get to 300!

I'll be looking forward to taking my recent practice with macro photography and extending it outside to the wild flowers of the high desert and the humming birds that visit them. I'm looking forward ...

For more than a decade I've been a collector of rare coins and bullion coins. It's a fun hobby, and over the past few years it's also become a profitable hobby.

Recently as I started toying with macro photography I decided to take a few shots of several coins. Silver & Gold eagles to be exact. But there are many more types of bullion coins out there, and I thought it would be fun to see other coins offered up by photographers from Dreamstime.

So, I just created a new collection called Bullion Coins. I'm hoping that folks will submit their favorites to the collection, along with the photos I already started picking out this morning.
