(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 [...] Not a whole lot to say here. Most of the morning, I carried two cameras ready to go. One was the 50D with the 24-70 and the other was the 30D with the Lensbaby. I added the soft focus optic for this image. Processing was done with Nik filters – Viveza 2 to adjust brightness, [...] My wife and I stopped by one of our favorite local city parks this morning in search of some birds. We know this park well and know that it is not at all unusual for Chickadees, Titmice, and Nuthatches to come eat out of your hand and other birds (White Throat Sparrows, Cardinals and Jays) [...] 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 [...] I really like Teasel throughout all the seasons. This is an image I shot on the fly this past weekend and had/has a background that I really don’t like. Actually, I can say that I hated the background on the original image. So with nothing else to do when I got back home, I started [...] 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 [...] 1/80 sec @ f/5.6; ISO 400; 0 EV) The title pretty much says it all. My wife and I went for a short walk along our local creek this afternoon. I was looking for an opportunity to play with the Lensbaby Composer and hopefully let the creative juices flow a bit. Other than the creek itself, [...] 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. [...] |
