From a two-day driving trip to the area around Lake Winnebago, Wisconsin (USA)…
I really liked the warmth of this flower photo…
Gallery here …. I also like the butteryfly shots, taken with my 80-400mm Nikon lens.
Trying my hand last night with my 250mm and a 1.7x teleconverter with my Nikon D300…
It’s a little fuzzy — but I think that was actually the summer evening haze and not my inability to focus the camera successfully. (That’s what I’m telling myself at least).
It’s in a gallery of flowers on SmugMug (I was trying my hand at Macro photography the past few nights with our prairie flowers).
This would have been a better photo without the people, but I really liked how “warm” the colors were in the Wisconsin State capital building yesterday.
It’s a bit dark shrunk down to this size. You can click the image to see a larger version hosted on SmugMug if you’re interested (although it’s not the full size version).
I was using my new Nikon 50mm AF f/1.4 lens with my D300 today. It’s a very sharp lens … although I’m so accustomed to having a zoom lens … I found myself wanting to zoom (and get more wide angles). In some ways, a 50mm is better exercise as it forces me to do the zooming! :)
“You May Encounter Rattlesnakes Avoid and Report”
Some very sound advice. :)
Taken in New Mexico in a National Monument (along a hike).
In the United States, we’re remembering today (Monday, May 26, 2008) those who have fought and died for our country in the armed services. I thought this photo from my recent vacation in New Mexico was fitting….
(And if you’re seeing tiny white specs in the photo — those are actually seeds!)
