Puerto Rico's El Yunque

Lizard of Puerto Rico

I hope everyone had a nice summer. I love to travel and capture little chaps like this lizard. Puerto Rico has many species of lizards. I photographed this one in San Juan while walking the streets. It's my guess this little fella is looking for dinner, since the digital photo was taken in the early evening. I cropped the image from a wide angle perpective of 28mm. The ISO was, 400, shutter speed, 1/500 sec., and the aperture, 4.5. I used my Fujifilm X10.

FLAG DAY 2012

Hey, follow photographers. Flag Day comes around ever year, so I had this photo ready to go. I love taking photos of flags, especially the flag of the United States of America. The great, red, white, and blue. Flags can be seen everywhere. I captured this one while walking in the P St. corridor in North West Washington, DC. The 28mm wide angle, ISO of 400, 1/800 shutter speed, and aperture of 7.1 contributed to this late afternoon image of Old Glory. So, look up to the sky, you might see a flag blowing in the wind.

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!
