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 [...]

Front Yard Leaf

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, [...]

Ducks in Flight
This picture was pure luck. This group of ducks was sitting in this little pond that was about half water and half ice/snow. When I tried to move in to take their picture, they took off, which is what you see in this image. I cropped out a few of the ducks as well as [...]
Bird Nest
We have this neat looking bird nest in our backyard that I shot last year that could have been a better picture, if I would have used the 75-300 mm to get in closer. Or shot it with some birds in or around it. Live and learn. Exposure: 1/2000 sec, Aperture: f/5.6, Focal Length: 135 [...]
Windy American Flag
I was shooting out our front window on yet again another frigid day and was taking some more clouds/sunset pictures (the clouds are at least more in focus this time ). By looking at my neighbor’s American flag, it was pretty blustery that evening. Exposure: 1/20 sec, Aperture: f/5.6, Focal Length: 135 mm, ISO 200.
Moon in the Morning
I took this picture of the moon at 9:09 AM out of our formal dining room (now playroom) window that faces west. I need a bigger lens. Exposure: 1/60 sec, Aperture: f/11, Focal Length: 300 mm, ISO 200.
Ice Rocks on Lake Superior
I was in Duluth, MN last month for work and was able to get some pictures of the ice build-up on some rocks along the shores of Lake Superior. Exposure: 1/400 sec, Aperture: f/11, Focal Length: 28 mm, ISO 400.
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.

Colorful Sky
I took this the same day and about the same time asyesterday’spost. I liked the colors but I could use a bit more practice on the focusing aspect on clouds. Exposure: 1/10 sec, Aperture: f/11, Focal Length: 44 mm, ISO 200.
