Born in the West, I studied photography and painting at the School of Visual Arts in New York City, and retouched the b/w photographs of Robert Mapplethorpe, before the western skies called me home.
Burnt sienna was my favorite color in New York. Now that I live surrounded by copper rich burnt sienna mountains in Bisbee, Arizona, I paint as I retouched in NYC black and white. The photographer is the painter.
My paintings can be seen at http://www.cheyennemacmasters.com.
Please contact if you would like to buy prints of the photographs or use for reproduction. All photographs on this site are copyrighted by me. Occasional guest photographs are copyrighted by the photographer.
Eye of the Camera 
I’ve been getting quite a kick out of your orbs, but I haven’t seen any myself. I must be doing something wrong, or maybe I should pray that at least one with appear soon. Thank you for visiting by blog again.

Thank you. Basic steps for photographing orbs at night: digital flash, helps if your camera has a CCD sensor rather than the CMOS sensor that filters most of the orbs out. Canon PowerShots except for the latest G16? have the CCD. You may be getting them, but they’re too pale. On the computer brighten and then lower the contrast, that will bring forth the pale ones. And, last but not least: intent, intent, intent.

Thank you for finding and following dragonshades. I love orbs whatever they are and am always pleased when they turn up in my photographs. On Sept 4 I posted a photo called Colour Comet. These look like wee Scottish tartan orbs and appear quite often in my garden photos especially around my Scottish dogs!

I’m so glad I found your blog! I have been capturing orbs in photographs beginning about two years ago, and I’ve tried to find information online about them. Most spirit photo experts I’ve come across seem to quickly dismiss orbs as dust or moisture particles reflected by the flash of a camera, with long explanations about aperture and shutter speed and on and on. Despite their beliefs, I have recently started my own blog, where I have begun posting some of my own orb and possible spirit capture photos. Thanks so much!
