Description

The last huge arm of Tropical Storm Bill sweeps across Bell County, Texas, bringing more flooding and breaking more tree limbs before heading north. After massive flooding througout the month of May 2015, we had a few weeks of normal scorching weather before this storm blew in from the Gulf of Mexico, stretching our already full lakes to the max. Considering that we had been in a three-year drought, with some city reservoirs running dry, very few Texans are complaining. Photograph modified with Topaz Simplify.

Gary Holmes, photographer: I have always loved to photograph nature, landscapes, abstract, and other found objects of interest. I prefer the challenge of trying to capture the unpredictable spontaneity of things and events as they are occurring. I started with a Kodak Brownie as a child, but entered the world of real photography with a Canon AE-1 in the late 1970's. I have successfully sold a number of my photographs on Fine Art America, and have been recognized in international photography venues. My photo, "Blue Norther," was selected by the nonprofit Texas Bluebird Society for its 2010 membership announcements. My most requested photo, "Rowers' Arc," was selected as an Editors' Choice on 500px, as well as a 5-star Editor's Choice designation in Camerapixo's Hot Shots photo magazine, Volume 4 (http://issuu.com/camerapixo/docs/hotshots-camerapixo-04/1). It has now been published on page 121 in a new book, Camerapixo Photography Awards, Volume 01 (http://camerapixo.com/publications/photography-awards-01).
