(1/40 sec @ f/7.1; ISO 800; +2/3 EV; AWB; FL 66mm) … my new Canon 5D Mark II and me. The new camera arrived yesterday (purchased from Adorama – see affiliate ad on left). I won’t bore you with the details but it was a long and winding road that brought me to this point. But as they [...] I think I will end this series of images made during our recent trip to Longwood Gardens (PA) with one that continues to bring a smile to my face every time I look at it. Yes, the kids did appear. And yes, they had mom and dad in tow. It was time to break out [...] I was lamenting about today’s snowfall (the second big storm in four days) over on Facebook and then decided I needed to think Spring. So I went back into my wildflower images from early last Spring and came up with one of my favorites, the simple Trout Lily, to reprise. I did rework it a [...] If you’ve come via the home page or wandered through the galleries, you may have seen these images before even though they are barely 24 hours old. I took some time yesterday and worked on making images of the Gerbera that were different from what I often see and interesting to me from a compositional [...] What can I say? That title pretty much sums up my yesterday. We had decided earlier in the week that, weather permitting, we would head down to the Jersey shore and visit some of our favorite lakes and ponds in search of wintering ducks and such. Yesterday’s forecast was the better of the two days, so [...] Sunday was a strange day to say the least. I was up well before dawn and drove 40 minutes to greet sunrise at Peace Valley Park. The good news was that the sun came up. The bad news was it was very boring… even in that 30 minute period between civil twilight and actual sunrise. [...] Last winter I was working on a series of rose images in which I tried to capture the emotions/feelings connoted by different color roses. A red rose connotes passion/love while a white rose connotes innocence/purity. Last year’s image were, for the most part, macro/close-up images of single roses. While I was at the market yesterday (remember [...] (1/80 sec @ f/20; ISO 800; -1/3 EV; FEC -1) Another Aster from my early Sunday morning walk along my local creek. In amongst the many Calico Asters along the path, I would spot a Heath Aster every now and then. I decided that with the Heath Asters I would focus in on a single flower [...] (1/13 sec @f/22; ISO 800; 0 EV; FEC -1) It doesn’t happen often but I am bumping one Calico Asters image off the bottom of page 1 on to page 2 by adding another new Calico Asters image to the top of page 1. Oh well, such is life. Not a whole lot to say here with [...] (1/10 sec @ f/22; ISO 640; +1 EV; Sunny WB; FEC -1) A week or so ago, when I was shooting the Smartweed and Aster, I came across a plant that we have always called euphemistically “Fuzzy Bunny Ears”. The shape and texture of the leaf looks almost the same as Common Mullein but this particular [...] |
