Happy Thursday!
Found this amazing tree while I was wondering through the countryside.
I was photographing it from various angles and when a young woman pulled up in a white SUV and asked me if I was photography that amazing tree. I told her I was and that I was very impressed with it.
She shared that it was her favorite tree and that I should come back in the Spring to photograph it again. Very nice lady.
Enjoy your day and be careful.
Happy Tuesday!
This past Sunday our Grand Daughter Gabby had her Gymnastics performance. I got some images of her but the place was packed with parents and grand parents with cell phones so it was difficult to catch an image of her routines.
However one of my favorite subjects was practicing her routines for PaPa and I was fortunate enough to capture some of them.
I couldn’t use a flash so I had to bump the ISO up to 1000 and shoot at f4.0 to get any decent shots. There not perfect but when it’s your favorite model you take what you can get. 🙂
Enjoy your day and be careful.
Happy Wednesday!
Monday I had some errands to run and while I was going to be out and about I decided to take my camera along.
I was out for about three hours, mostly visiting the places where I have found good subjects before. Nothing going on there so I ended up at the river.
I love the way the sunlight enhances the rocks on the side of this cliff. This image was taken at Mud Lake. I’ve had some good luck at Mud Lake before but it was very quite on this day.
I also stopped at A. Y. McDonald park and saw this barge headed South. It was nice to see there was still barge traffic on the river.
Finally I stopped at the River Walk and saw the same barge going through the railroad bridge. The current must have been pretty strong as he needed this small tug boat to help stabilize the barges going through this tight space.
It was an enjoyable morning and I enjoyed looking for photography opportunities.
Enjoy your day and be careful.
Happy First Day of December.
I have not touched a camera for almost five months. It really shows with these two images. I never gave any thought to my ISO settings or shutter speed. As a result many of my images taken at this year’s annual Turkey Trot were of poor quality and many of them were blurred due to the low shutter speed trying to capture people running.
Ben, Angie, Joshua, and Gabby participated in the 2.5 mile run. Both Gabby and Josh ran the entire run without stopping, which includes a pretty substantial hill. We were all very proud of them.
I missed Josh’s finish as he ran ahead of them the last couple of hundred yards so I wasn’t able to photograph him.
I also found in processing these photos that my Photoshop and finishing skills have suffered as well. Time to get back involved my my camera.
Enjoy your day and be careful.
