One photo a day challenge: Day 360. Having a macro lens is great for exploring small objects. I also love it for exploring textures. I am not sure there are more interesting ways to explore texture than with a macro lens. Especially if you shoot with the macro lens set at an aperture as wide open as it can be. This really sets the focus on the subject of the image and… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 352. I decided to try and take advantage of the rain today. The goal was to actually capture elements of the rain in a photo. I had the idea to photograph the puddles in our driveway. Photograph them in a way that would show the rain drops hitting the water of the puddle. The rain tried not to cooperate. As the raindrops became a fine mist…. Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 346. Finally a clear sky at night so I can experiment with some night sky photography. Had fun trying out some things. Today I used one of my DSLRs and my full size tripod. I struggled to get my setting right and make the adjustments on my camera that I needed. I had a hard time getting the focus correct in the dark. I do like… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 337. I have really become interested in astrophotography and photographing the the night sky. I went through an online video course on astrophotography and I am in the process of completing another online training course on astrophotography. So I have been wanting to go outside and play around with it and see if it is actually anything I enjoy before investing too much more time or… Read More

I always enjoy time spent exploring the Adirondack region. Usually when I visit the Adirondacks that means I am going to spend a lot of time out hiking. Hopefully climbing some mountains. Circling trails around lakes. Or visiting other beautiful scenery on foot. This year out adventures were a little bit different. We went camping as usual. Camping in the Adirondacks is hard to beat. But instead of our campsite being home… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 318. Spent some time exploring the the woods around our house today. I just walked through the woods with no particular intent. Wondering. Looking. Observing. Trying to find anything that looked interesting to train my lens on. Looking for any last bits of autumn colors left on leaves and trees. There wasn’t much color on leave, but I found some. But the most colorful sight in… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 317. During what was mostly a rainy and gloomy day the sun peaked out for just a moment. This was my cue. Time to make the photos. I wanted to get outside and see if any of the few flowers still out there were blooming at all this deep into fall. There were still a few blossoms on one perennial. And there were also a few… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 316. Often when I photograph flowers I try to isolate a single flower blossom. Or even more specific I try to isolate a single part of the flower blossom. This is especially true when I am photographing flowers at home. Today I wanted to try something different. It was the perfect timing so I had to go for it now. I just happen to have a… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 312. There are some new blossoms on the flowers I brought inside. One pink flower. Another plant with a red flower. Setting up my indoor lighting options. Using a white background to help create nice clean look. The white background also helps reflect more light onto the subject. I repositioned the lighting and the background to get the composition that I wanted. I took a variety… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 309. Sometimes trying to find that one image in the woods is a challenge. I didn’t see anything that was jumping out to me. There were no little interesting pieces of nature calling ot to me for photos. But there was this light. And there was this shaggy moss hanging off a tree trunk. The Sunlight was streaming in. Backlighting the moss. No light on the… Read More
