This blog is for us to share our interest in photography. It is a great way to share what we are learning, or already know, with one another. By including the details about each photo (camera settings, etc.)and the why of each capture we all benefit. It also allows us to 'show off' what we are up to.

This is a bronze sculpture of a pigeon. I shot it well after dark in a wonderful sculpture garden called Columbine Sculpture Garden in Loveland, CO. We were allowed to come back after hours and shoot some of the works. It was great. This one was lit by a LED flashlight while I shot the thing. Steve and Bruce were with me and shooting and helping.

This ducks feather caught my attention so I shot it. I had to spend a lot of time on it in Photoshop the water had a lot of glare on it in. I had to use a B&W_ layer at 80% to get rid of the glare. I noticed a little monster next to the feather so I cut it out and pasted it at full color. I had a lot of fun with this one. F9 1/25 ISO1000 Macro Bruce
While shooting the ducks things got a little squirrelly! I just happened to turnaround to move and this squirrel was watching me so I put my lens in Macro and made a few exposures of him. He sure wasn't afraid of me, once he was through posing for me he got drink of water. Both exposures Manual f9 1/25 ISO1000 135MM Macro BRUCE
In lieu of going to Hawaii to shoot this I went to my library and pulled this one out. It was the 0 step of a five shot HDR but I didn't like the way the tonemapping changed the way it looked. I did mess with it a bit to get it to look like I remembered it. I am hanging a beautiful wave panorama (12x36) on the wall with this one and another one like it (8x12) but opposite hand on either side. They will be above our bed. LYLE
I had to see if I could see what a dog sees in this, stopped short of sniffing and raising my leg on it. I didn' want to cause a disturbance. F18 2sec ISO 250 35mm Bruce
I went to Michigan last week to help Leigh move there this beautiful bridge is about a mile from her place. I knew when I saw it I had to photograph it. I crosses the Okinos River just North of Lansing Michigan in the town of Okinos. Bruce 70mm f6.3 1/8sec ISO 1250
I was shooting the Bridge and caught this Mustang crossing it and I had to get a Photo of it, I knew You wouldn't be able to ID it so I had to go ahead and label it before I forgot what it was. f18 .4 sec Iso250 70mm Bruce
