This little green fellow stayed around long enough
for a few photos and the on his way he went. We still hear him and his family.
I took this using 3X zoom - 2ft away, f2.8 and 1/150 shutter. |
Beautiful Lake Horicon is a wonderful place to capture
ducks and geese and also pack a lunch. This was tricky, but the detail in
the trees show a very good exposure. 1X zoom, f4.0 1/125 shutter. |
You'll see many rose-o-sharons in my photo gallery.
They are fun to shoot and are always challenging with shadows. Here, I wanted
the illusion of depth and got it with an f2.8 stop. 3X f2.8 1/250 shutter. |
I have many fond memories fishing from this old
abandoned railroad bridge. Today, there is nothing much left to film, but
the memories are clear as ever. 1X f2.8 1/125 shutter.

Here I wanted pin-point focus. I wanted the rows of
cells to fade evenly and smoothly to a border. It was important to center
this subject. 5X zoom f2.8 1/125 shutter. |
I've always called these poppers. You grab one at the
base, trapping air inside and then smack them against your wrist making a
loud popping sound This was evening light.. 3X f2.8 1/125 shutter. |
Same abandoned bridge as above, this time underneath
and a good study of shade and motion. The bridge and water tell two stories
here. 1X f4.0 1/125 shutter. |
I offer this simple flower from a bouquet I captured
in great detail. This was interesting to me, because it was ordinary, yet
detailed. 1X f4.0 1/500 shutter. |
Fluffy, who was our kitten "Not to long ago" is now
Fluffy the Hut, a feline version of the Starwars character Java. Why the big
smile??? Gonna have to ask Fluffy. 1X f4 1/250 shutter - flash. |
At Allaire State Park you will find this blacksmith.
He pounds away all day making souvenir horseshoes and coat hooks. 1X f5.6
1/60 shutter - flash. |
Allaire State Park has a wonderful restored village,
shops, picnic areas and long rugged trails. These trees were amazing, hundreds
leaning every which way. 2X f2.8 1/250 shutter. |
Patches again, this time doing a flop after a kitten
energized workout. He is great to shoot because he plays and hunts all the
time. 3X f8 1/60 shutter. |
