Here is my first attempt at photographing an insect. I have to admit, it’s not an easy task. Learning how to accomplish this should be fun. Look for more in future posts.

Here is a photo of Watson Park Pond on a beautiful sunny day. I tried to focus mainly on the reflection of the sky and trees in the rippling water.

Look at that, I didn’t crack my iPhone lens when taking my self portrait. There will be others in the future, but don’t let that discourage you to look at my pictures everyday.

Here is another shadow of yours truly.

Today was my son’s last day at Cub Scout Summer Camp at Treasure Valley Scout Reservation. The closing ceremony included a campfire. I gave it a little artsy look. I hope you like it. 🙂

I was at Watson Park in Marlborough MA today during my lunch break to try to capture some wildlife. This was the only one around and he was on the other side of the pond. Luckily I had my 300mm lens with me.

Yet another hiking photo. I liked the way the trees hug the path further down almost creating a tunnel.

Here is another photo from hike I went on the other day. I took this with three exposures. Unfortunately there were no clouds in the sky to enhance the photo.

Today I went on a hike at Moore State Park in Paxton MA hoping to find some areas to capture. I found a few. Here is a bridge over the pond. If you look closely you will see a guy reading a book. This park is a great place to go and just get away from it all. You can find more information at www.mass.gov/dcr/parks/central/more.htm.

I was practicing my HDR skills. (High Dynamic Range) photography. I couldn’t decide which picture to post so I posted both. They are the same composition, however, one is a realistic view and the other is a cool looking vintage shot. Let me know what you like/dislike about each photo. Together we can make me an exceptional photographer!

Clouds are neat to photograph, because they’re like snowflakes. No two are alike, but are much easier to capture while they’re airborne.
