MSU Credit Union

I was wimpy shooting this I stopped the car rolled the window put the camera on program, this building was begging for a picture to be taken but the temperature was 3deg f and the wind was blowing to make it colder. I thought this building looked so pretty  in the snow I couldn't pass it up but couldn't make myself get out sf the car. cropped and edited in Photoshop CC, ISO 250, f8, 1/250sec

Lace and Water

I guess I don't have to tell you how cold it is here, you can see it. This is back up on the trail to Lake Blanch where we shot a few during your trip to Utah. I shot this in manual at f/20, 1/6 sec shutter, ISO 160, and 125 mm with my 70-300 lens. The reason I used f/20 was to close down the aperture so I could keep the shutter open just a bit to smooth out the water. I also really love the high pass sharpening function in Photo shop. I selected selective color and took all of the color including black out of the white to brighten up the water and ice. LYLE

Wind Tunnel

This is a Mayan Ruin that was part of a "wind tunnel". It was constructed so the wind would blow through it and create a sound much like a conch shell does when you blow in it. They used it as a navigation aid to help find the island at night when they were on the sea. I shot this with my Cannon Power Shot D10. LYLE

Michigan Christmas

We survived the freezing rain and snow that hit Michigan the week of Christmas. We arrived at Leigh's on Sunday just as the rain started freezing. I took this photo Thursday evening the temperature didn't let the ice melt until Friday and we had snow every day. We lost one phase of the electricity the first night the fan to the central heat, the fridge and some of the lights worked but the water pump for the well didn't. Linda cooked Christmas dinner on the gas grill outside and a hot plate run by Leigh's generator. We were in good hands, Gods!

Blooming Cactus

I shot this on my hunting trip. These cacti are everywhere and this is as close to a bloom that I have seen.
