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. Remember please, these images are copyrighted, please do not copy, reproduce or use for any commercial purpose. Thank you, LYLE, Bruce and Steve. You may contact us at shenemanboys@gmail.com
This is the result of the fountains shooting spouts of water up into the air and lighting them up with colored lights from below. I noticed they formed these splashes and was able to capture them. Lots of fun. LYLE
This is a small tree at the shopping center that was decorated with white lights like a Christmas tree. I set the camera in shutter priority and dialed in a 5 second exposure time. It took a couple of tries but as the camera was taking the picture I zoomed in on the base of the tree. My friend Philippe, who was shooting with me, has challenged me to duplicate it. He does not think I can do it. A dinner for two is on the line. I can't wait to cash in on it. LYLE
This little bronze sculpture was part of the fountain at that same shopping center. I shot 4 different photos of it using a small flashlight to light it up. I then used exposure fusion to combine them and get the effects I wanted with Photomatix. LYLE
This waterfall is in a fountain at a shopping center in Farmington, UT. Some friends went with us to eat at Johnnie Rockets and we took our cameras to shoot the fountain. There are colored lights all over it that light up the sprays of water that shoot up. I shot this in shutter priority, f/5.6, ISO 800, 100mm, for 1 sec. I have not processed the photo at all, just the way it came out of the camera. LYLE
This is something I don't see very often this was on the ground when I got to Leighs. If you look you can see the ice sparkling on the snow that has formed as it is melting and refreezing. Brrrr, it was COLD!!! ISO 800 f14 1/1000 70mm

I was out shooting with Leighs D90 W' 70-3OOIS lens and heard a Woodpecker,it took me awhile to find it. When I was going through my photos I spotted that it went in the hole (bottom photo) that is above the bird in the top photo. I had to crop both photos and adjust the exposure because I was bracketing my shots. top photo 1/400 f10 bottom photo 1/640 f10 both manual exposure hand held at 300mm Bruce
