Portrait of Noia — Canon 6D Mark II with 85mm. The 85mm focal length at portrait distances gives natural compression that is flattering without distorting, and the rendering at a wide aperture separates the subject cleanly from the background. Monochrome reduces the portrait to light, form, and expression: the most direct form of a portrait. See the full article: Noia on IJM Photography.

An angel hovers over the grave of Marie Taliaferro, who died at the age of 45, buried at Bonaventure Cemetery in Savannah, GA. Her husband, Charles Champe Taliaferro, was a sergeant in the Confederate Army. He is buried in Graham Cemetery in Orange, Va.

Stormy Weather

Black And White Photography, David Jensen, Photography

One of the best parts of living by the inland sea of Lake Superior is the effect of wind on the lake. When the wind blows strong out of the east/northeast, you get big waves along the shore in Duluth, MN. Although the waves are exciting to watch, they can also be very destructive. The city is still repairing damage from storms that took place over five years ago.
