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.

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.

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!!!

Model Shoot

A photo from my first model shoot. So much fun!!!! So different taking photos of someone when you're not having to coerce them to pose and/or take direction and they'll just keep posing away happily.

I usually get about 3 photos when shooting my kids before they've had enough.

1/125 sec, F 5.6, ISO 200, and using studio lights. 17-85mm zoom lens at 85mm.

Great Horned Owl

What's up Doc?

This guy is only 6 months old. Taken this week-end when my photo club visited Pacific Northwest Rapture Center in Duncan B.C.

I highly recommend visiting the center and taking in their demonstration shows. So interesting, entertaining, and breathtaking birds.

This was taken with a 70-200mm zoom lens at 200mm. 1/160 sec ISO 200 F 4.0. I usually always shoot on aperture priority. I certainly would have gotten more keepers if I had bumped the ISO up a bit so I was shooting at at at least 1/640 or higher....all my motion shots are blurry.
