Took this while walking the dog at one of the local parks. There are numerous trees in this open space and I liked the way this one was lit on one side. It is still winter here and the grass has not yet turned green, but the trees in the background and the clouds in the sky add to the feeling on a cool winter day.
Another photograph taken the same day as my last post. Heard this guy first and then was surprised to see him in a tree near the path I was on. I was able to get three photographs of him with this being the one I liked best.
Finally got out to take some photographs this past week. Saw this scene and thought it may be an okay shot. I’ve taken others of the same area during fall and summer and from a different position. Wish I had taken the time to move about and try another perspective. Well there is still some winter left, might get another shot.
It’s been a while since I posted, a new year and already I’m off to a slow start. As previously mentioned in this blog I have a few film cameras and hope to take more photographs with them. The photograph above was taken with one of them. It is the first roll of color film that I have shot with this camera. The scene is of a building in the development where I live and I had previously photographed the same building in B&W film.
Sometimes it pays to go back and look at your photographs again. This is another photograph from my recent hike at the local watershed. When I took the photograph I was drawn to the bright yellow leaves and the contrast from the dark path to the bright opening. At first, I was not pleased with what I had gotten, but after looking at it a second time and making some adjustments I had second thoughts.
Got a chance to take a hike in one of our local watersheds this past week. I took our new dog with me to see how well he would behave and if I could actually take pictures with him along. He behaved well and looks like I have a new hiking partner. Too bad I couldn’t find much to photograph though. I did like this scene though. The group of trees in the center and the last remnants of fall clinging to the trees.
Taken last spring on one of my hikes. I was drawn to the two ducks swimming in the water and the bright green reflections from the trees.
While out walking the dog two weeks ago, I happened upon these five trees and thought it would make a nice composition. What I saw was the contrast between the whitebark and the dark background. I also noted that these trees had already shed their leaves, while the ones in the background had barely begun to change color. While I do like this, it was taken in the morning and I think that it may look better in the evening when the light would be coming from the right and the tone would probably be a little warmer. I may also want to walk to the right and possibly choose a different angle.
The detail in the neck feathers and that he appears to be posing just for this shot.
Something different. I saw this when I was out for a walk a few months ago and was drawn to the fact that these vines completely hid the tree. While the initial shot was in color. I thought that a black and white image brought out the pattern, but did hide the tree more.
