Spring Squirrel

Hello everyone! The photos of this squirrel are good examples of bokeh. I used a telephoto zoom. Can you guess the camera settings? They were 1000/ sec. at F2.8, and ISO of 320. I love observing nature. Be ready for the moment as many photo ops appear quickly.

Tulip After the Rain

Hello, fellow photogs. I love photographing flowers every spring. I saw this beauty of a tulip after a rain fall. This is one of the hardest opportunities to find. I try and always carry one of my cameras with me, so as not to miss a moment like this. I set the camera to program function and activated the macro. The shutter speed was 1/8 of a sec. and the aperture was f2.8. The focal length was 24mm and the ISO was set at 400. Happy shooting!

Magenta Manequin

Hey! You night time shooters. I skipped January, but I'm back. I love shooting at night and combined that with my love of reflection photos. The tourist shop here displayed a manequin showing off the shops merchandise. My new Fujifilm X10 has a fast lens, which is what is needed to photograph at night, to get a sharp and highly saturated digital file.

December Dusk

Hello photo geeks! I love to take photographs at dusk. I captured people as ghost images with a slow shutter speed. An Olympus StylusTough-6020 was used. Camera was hand held. ISO was 400, f3.9, and 1/3 sec. were the exposure factors. Watch for future photographs in 2012. Happy New Year!

March of the 99%

Hello, all you point and shooters! I was walking out from a art supply store and happened upon this group of protesters marching toward Key Bridge in Washington, DC.

September Sunset

Hey folks, I hope you all had a great summer. I took this photo in mid September. It was happening so fast that I only had time to grab my Olympus point and shoot, and wow! Talk about a fiery sky. I set the camera at a wide angle setting, and set ISO at 100, held the camera against the window pane, and voila!

SUNFLOWER IN THE RAIN

I enjoy taking pictures in the rain. I cover my camera with a rain cover and start clicking. The sunflower I saw outside a flower shop was just covered with water drops. I used a Nikon D200 with a 50mm f1.8 lens, ISO at 400, 125 of a sec. with lens wide open at f1.8. I love what I got, and plan on printing it large. Go for it! Shoot in the rain!
