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.

While in Florida I was on an upper deck at lunch and liked what I saw.

This shot was taken at the fishing pier on Silver Lake near Brighton, UT at the top of Big Cottonwood Canyon. I had to use a neutral density filter on the sky to get it to look blue during the shot. Camera settings were: f/22, 1/2 sec, ISO 100, 24mm with a 24-120 lens. It took some doing to get the blue out of the walkway, I shot it at 5500 Kelvin, but it was still very blue. LYLE
My granddaughter, Elle, and I took some flowers and put then in a leftover container in about 1/2" of water and froze it. That made them stick to the bottom, we then added enough water to cover them and returned them to the freezer, the next day we poured about another 1 1/2" of water over it and froze that. Then we used gels over flashlights to give it some color and took the pictures. Elle chose blue and green for her shot and I used reds for mine. LYLE
We celebrated the 4th,in part, by going to the park in South Jordan and watching fireworks. This is a 2 1/2 sec exposure, ISO 1000 and 102 mm. LYLE
Linda wanted a small garden so I built a railed garden box out of cedar. We planted tomatoes, peppers and garlic in it. This is in our back yard in front of the living room windows.
