Yellow Lemons

When life gives you lemons...
I had a lucky draw on color and have green for my project. It seems like there is a little green everywhere I look.

Tried panning at the skate park. It is a lot harder than I thought it would be. Out of 100 shots, only one was really what I wanted.
Shutter priority, 1/50 sec, F18, ISO 100 (Very sunny day)

My First Sale


This is my first official sale. It was to an acquaintance, so I guess my next goal is to sell something to a total stranger.

Pearl Street

From our mall shoot on Wednesday, though not the greatest of shots, I accomplished what I wanted in this photo as Molly was still and the motion of those around her was caught.   Thanks Molly for staying so still! ISO 100, 1/15, F22

So bummed that I didn't get to go on the photo walk today because of work. So I played around with the macro lens on the cats instead.

Messin' with Macro

Yesterday I messed with macro and had some interesting results.   You can click on my name to the right and read my blog for additional information and photos.

Northern Flickers in the back yard this AM.   I love the colors they display and that this one stayed long enough for me to get a few shots off!


A bit of a cheat for macros since the images were captured in January but ...  I'm the grandfather so I can brag!
