52 Week Project: Week 35
This entrance light to the ore docks at Two Harbors has made an appearance on my blog way back in what seems like the dark ages when I wasn’t paying attention to composition (rule of thirds, anyone?). I was back in Two Harbors in July and had some nasty, harsh noontime sun, which made shooting [...]
52 Week Project: Week 32
While up in Duluth, MN, I spent one evening down at the Leif Erickson Park shooting. Across the street from the park is the Duluth Armory. For this photograph, I took the the exposure the camera came up with and then bracketed it by -2 and +2 and then infused the three images together using [...]
52 Week Project: Week 16
I took in my first game at Target Field last Thursday and it is a rather impressive baseball stadium. My allegiance will always be for the Brewers but I do cheer for the Twins since they are in the American League and it doesn’t interfere with the Brew Crew (except when they play each other [...]
New Glarus Organic Revolution
Spent a little time in Madison last month and was able to enjoy some New Glarus Organic Revolution as well as play with my new wireless flash system, courtesy of the fine folks at AlienBees. The flash is sitting on the table behind and slightly right of the bottle and the flash output was adjusted [...]
Full Moon In Backyard – Part II
One of the other images from my shooting of the full moon through the trees in our backyard. You can see another one here. Exposure: 1/3 sec, Aperture: f/5.6, Focal Length: 300 mm, ISO 200.
Valentine’s Daisies
I got my lovely wife some daisies for Valentine’s Day and had some pretty good natural light coming through our dining room window which gave me an opportunity to take some pictures. I was messing around with some different shutter speeds and at 1/1600 second, this is what happened. You would never know these were [...]
Full Moon in Backyard
This image is one of several I took of the full moon as it appeared through the trees in our backyard (as shot though our great room windows). For this (and for the rest of the images) I used my 75-300 mm lens with hood on a tripod and with the self-timer. Exposure: 0.8 sec, [...]
Glowing Kitchen Candle
I shot this candle previously but for some reason, it was glowing differently several days later. I tried different angles and settings and thought this one turned out pretty cool. Exposure: 1/4 sec, Aperture: f/5.6, Focal Length: 85 mm, ISO 800.
Kitchen Candle Flame
I’ve been trying to get some practice at taking pictures of this candle for a couple of days. I should have cleaned out the burned out potions of wick floating around before shooting. Exposure: 1/100 sec, Aperture: f/5.6, Focal Length: 135 mm, ISO 200.
