Safe distance for now

Today I stopped and took some photos of these beautiful very black cows in a very green pasture. At first they were pretty cautious about this long lens pointing at them but they all came around, and proceeded to the fence and stood so perfectly still, looked right into the camera. More of that shoot to follow. Click on photo to view larger...looks much better!

Bangs

Taken at Providence Farm in Duncan, B.C. this week-end. This is one of the therapeutic riding horses that lives there.
1/250 sec, ISO 200 , f5.6.

Harvesting the grapes

Taken at Gray Monk Winery.

1/500 sec, f 8.0, ISO 200 on a 70-200mm zoom lens @150mm.

Autum Tapestry

More photos from along the Shuswap River. The beauty there is breathtaking. Can't even decide which shot I like better.
F 5.6 ISO 200 1/400sec on a 70-200 zoom @ 200mm.
Be sure to click on the photo to view 'large' as you can really appreciate the details better.

End of the Season

This sunflower looks as though it's saying a prayer of thanks for a life well lived.

Taken along the Shuswap River, near Enderby B.C., in late afternoon on Thanksgiving week-end.

ISO 200, 1/200 sec at F4.5 handheld on a 70-200 zoom lens.

Fog Burning

I'm not a real  big fan of the point and shoot but sometimes it's the ticket...as it was in the fog. I love the mystery in this photo and the hint of violet.

Fall Ferns

ISO 100, f 3.2, 1/50 sec handheld. These ferns are finished but amazing how beautiful they can look all dried up. It almost looks as though there is frost on them.

River in Sepia

Taken on the Shuswap River last week-end from a canoe.

Jazz Club in Roma

This was taken with a tabletop tripod in a jazz club, Alexander Platz, in Rome. I love how the colours work together and that 'jazz club' feel to it.
f 1.8, ISO 1600, 1/20 sec on a 50mm lens.

Astillbe in B&W

An Astillbe out at Butchart Gardens this summer. Love the bokeh and simplicity.


1/200 sec,  F4.0,  ISO 400 on a 70-200mm zoom lens at 189mm. Handheld and taken right before sundown.

Rocks and Waves

Taken during the golden hour out at Witty's Lagoon yesterday.

Shot at f 10.0... ISO 400... 1/800 sec  on a 70-200 zoom lens at 185mm. Handheld.

At first I liked the B&W one better....then my flickr friends like the colour one better......

it's easy to post your opinion even if you don't have a Google account just "comment as" anonymous... very easy!!!
