Friday Night Lights – Flag girl

Untitled (Ella, San Clemente, October 2015) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale This is the third in my series discussing my Friday Night Lights photographic adventures.

Friday Night Lights

Untitled (Zachary, San Clemente, October 2015) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale Earlier I had posted about using my Canon XTi camera in conjunction the 70-200L f/4 lens for photographs of Zach playing flag football at night.

Bourbon Street – NoLa

Untitled (Bourbon Street, New Orleans, October 2015) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale We attended a destination wedding in New Orleans, aka NoLa or The Big Easy, this past weekend.

Somewhere over Oz

Untitled (Michigan, September 2015) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale I was surprised at the end of my photographic tweaking as to how this photograph is pulling me in. To be honest, it was one of series of grab shots that I made on approach while landing at Detroit Metro airport. Having made this landing recently, I... Continue Reading →

Starting line

Paris – the party Seine

Untitled (the party Seine, Paris, 2010) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale In 2010 I had an opportunity to be in Paris during the summer and found a rite of summer (or anytime that is warm enough) that is frequently celebrated in this city; partying along the banks of the river Seine, thus the punster title of...

Flying by the seat of my pants

Untitled (Over Oz, Michigan, 2015) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale I keep getting asked how I am able to create my interesting aerial landscapes that I share here, such as this one and the one I posted yesterday. So here is the story about how I photograph landscapes while flying by the seat of my pants,... Continue Reading →

Serious fun

Untitled (Dallas, TX 2015) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale I think that for me it helps from time to time to just have fun. Sometimes messing around leads to an interesting project, as it allows my right brain to do what it does best; lurk, watch, listen, dream, free associate, and allow creativity to creep into...

OCMA update

Untitled (OCMA administration office, Newport Beach, CA 2015) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale Last weekend was interesting time for me at the Orange County Museum of Art (OCMA).
