One photo a day challenge: Day 140. Today I took my macro lens with me and sat in a field. I looked around at a field of grass and selected a spot that looked like it had potential for photographs. This area had some small flowers blooming and some sticks and other random bits of nature lying about. I sat down with my camera and a book. Alternating between reading and taking… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 139. Today I had no real plan for my photography. I just wanted to get outside. Wander around. Look at nature. See what looks interesting to photograph. I didn’t know what I would be photographing. To give myself the most opportunities for creating images it made sense to use my most versatile lens. I took my 60mm f2.8 macro lens. I started off photographing some of… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 138. Today I decided to do something a little different. Most days I get up early before work. Usually I am getting up early sol I have time to exercise before work. Today was a day I am supposed to take off to rest. I looked outside and saw the birds in the morning sun. Then it occurred to me that today is my rest day…. Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 136. It has been a parade of flowers at our house now that it has finally warmed up and stayed warm. I love flowers. They really brighten up the environment.

And flowers also attract great photography subjects. That… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 135. Today I taught a wildlife photography workshop at 171 Cedar Arts. We spent the first half of the day talking about wildlife photography. Then we went outside to see if we could find some wildlife to photograph. Hoping for some opportunities to practice what we had talked about. The plan was to walk across town and over the walking bridge. A great place to stop… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 134: A little bit of night time. A little bit of lighting. A little bit of blue flowers. A little bit close up. A little bitty f-stop.

One photo a day challenge: Day 133. Today I was able to get outside for a little bird watching at home. Some birds are so bold. They will fly right by me or land right up close to me. Other birds are more standoffish. They watch from a distance and mostly wait for me to leave before appearing anyplace close to where I am. The Northern Cardinals in my yard always seem… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 132. I continue to surprise myself as I have found inspiration to try new things with my photography during this challenge. I have always considered myself a natural light photographer. Not a lot of my photography uses light sources other than the available light outdoors or in a room if I am indoors. Three things have led me to trying new things in my photography: Having… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 130: I went out for a short bird watching walk today. I was hoping to have a nice bird photo to share today. I did see some of the White-Crowned Sparrows again. No really nice photos were achieved and no other birds I was hoping for made an appearance. So for todays photo sessions it goes like this: There is a frost warning tonight. I had… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 129. Today I wanted to focus my one photo a day project on one single subject. I decided to choose one of the flowers we had brought home recently and photograph just that one plant. I selected one that I hadn’t photographed yet. I brought the flower in and set it on our counter. I turned the lights off in the room I was working in… Read More
