Project 100: Photograph Six
I was on my way to workout when I stopped for a passing train. Gave me a few minutes to practice some motion blur (image stabilization = greatest invention ever 
)
Project 100: Photograph Three
We have several parks close to our house which affords many different playing opportunities for our kiddos, as well as various interesting items to photograph.
Minnesota Photo Project: Week 15
I’ve been trying to shoot more around the house when I see something interesting. While sitting at the table, I noticed the sun reflecting on our table. Using my Moleskin as a prop, I took a series of photographs shooting wide open just to play with a shallow depth of field. This was my favorite of the group.
Exposure: 1/8000 sec, Aperture: f/1.8, Focal Length: 50mm, ISO 100
Minnesota Photo Project: Week 14
I took this at one of our local parks while the kiddos were running around. You never know what interesting things you will find around you.
Exposure: 1/400 sec, Aperture: f/2.0, Focal Length: 50mm, ISO 100
Minnesota Photo Project: Week 13
I took a 24-hour sabbatical/thinking time at at a local hotel and brought my camera because you never know what you will find. This lamp was in my room and I enjoyed spending time shooting it wide-open. I-94 is in the background out the window.
Exposure: 1/600 sec, Aperture: f/1.8, Focal Length: 50mm, ISO 200
Minnesota Photo Project: Week 8
While taking some pictures of our kids outside on one of the few warmer days we’ve had, I noticed my daughter’s pine cone birdfeeder she had made in preschool. It was a breezy so I had to shoot quick to avoid too much motion blur. Once in Lightroom, I noticed several had some decent blue for the sky but overall, the shot was a bit boring so I mixed things up a bit to give it a much different look.
Exposure: 1/1000 sec, Aperture: f/2.0, Focal Length: 50mm, ISO 100
Minnesota Photo Project: Week 5
A bit delayed on getting this out as a few other projects have kept me busy (and away from my camera.) While walking around the Otsego Regional Park, I noticed how this particular rock was framed by the trees and it seem an interesting composition to experiment a bit with. I was pretty lucky with the birds.
Exposure: 1/640 sec, Aperture: f/2.8, Focal Length: 50mm, ISO 200
Minnesota Photo Project: Week 4
I spent a couple of hours last week hanging out at Otsego Regional Park just walking around and observing. This bit of brush with a drop of snow perched precariously on top caught my attention. I’ll have some further thoughts on the experience later this week.
Exposure: 1/250 sec, Aperture: f/2.8, Focal Length: 50mm, ISO 200
Minnesota Photo Project: Week 3
The temperature bottomed out to -26 the morning I typed this and I needed to see something that reminded me of a time of no snow and obscenely low temperatures. The tree is on the way to our daughter’s preschool and within a week, the leaves were gone.
Exposure: 1/400 sec, Aperture: f/5.6, Focal Length: 35mm, ISO 100
Minnesota Photo Project: Week 1
It’s been a cold January thus far (is it spring yet) and on one of our cold nights, I noticed this bit of frost on one of our windows. I waited until the next morning and used the macro function of my 28-135mm (memo to self: add macro lens to wish list) to capture this photograph. I used the Direct Positive present in LR2 to make the background blue and the frost to stand out a bit more.
Exposure: 1/50 sec, Aperture: f/5.6, Focal Length: 135mm, ISO 400
