Birds are wonderful animals to photograph. When you capture them in flight I can’t explain how that feels as a photographer, but it’s a great accomplishment. Look at this photo a let me know what you think of when you see it.

Finally a sunny day at the beach. I was able to bring out the color of the sky and the sand using HDR photography. Let me know what you think.

Today went left for a couple days at the beach and guess what. It’s raining. But the hotel had an outdoor heated pool which was very very warm. This was my first time swimming in an outdoor pool in the rain.

This photo is a photo right outside our room. You walk out and there is the pool. How cool is that? Unfortunately the WiFi sucks in this place, but the pool makes up for it.

While I was at a local pond, I saw a family of three canoeing together. So as they were floating by, I snapped a bunch of photo’s of them with the continuous mode on. That takes about 6 frames per second. I think the lady on the canoe was looking right at me in this one, it’s hard to tell with the sun glasses. Keep in mind, I do not know these people, but I thought the shot said a lot so I took it. Then I ran to my car and drove off. As I was driving, I saw the family in my rear view mirror bringing the canoe up to the ramp. I wonder if they were trying to stop me. Oh well. I call that move ‘The Snap and Screw’.

I am learning a lot about aperture and shutter speed in photography. Last night was a great opportunity for a moon shot. Let me know what you think.

As I was taking some nature shots, this nice couple brought their dog along and allowed me to take some photo’s of it while it was fishing. I can’t remember the name of the dog, but I did send a copy of all the photo’s I took to them via email.

The iPhone sure does take a good photo. I like photographing clouds, because they are always unique.

This is the closest I could get with out using a macro lens. I think that will be on my wish list for Christmas. Anyone have any suggestions for a decent lens? I have NIkon D7000.

I have always seen this water tower in the far distance when driving on Interstate 290 Eastbound. I’m not sure if it’s actually used anymore. It is located in Marlborough MA right next to Stevens Park. About 1/2 mile from where I used to work back in the late 90’s. I experimented with several different angles, but I liked this one the most.

I went for a photo walk during lunch today. There was a long path running through Stevens Park in Marlborough, MA. I thought the path was interesting looking because it didn’t seem to end and I liked the curvature of it.
