I was all excited the other day because it was sunny and I was finally going to get to go out and shoot. Then the fog rolled in. So I decided to just do a camera walk around the neighborhood and see what I could do with the fog. The first thing I saw where… Continue reading Birds
Fog on Mountains
It wasn’t much of a week for photography and I fear next week will be worse but I did get fascinated by the play of light and fog on the hills outside my window and ran outside with camera in hand for a few minutes. I did a little cropping and added some luminence and… Continue reading Fog on Mountains
Wood Duck
I have wanted to see and photograph these beautiful birds ever since I knew of their existence. So, when I read that wood ducks like to hang out in Lithia Park in the winter I could hardly believe it. But I packed up the new camera anyway and headed right down there. I got out… Continue reading Wood Duck
Pine Siskins
I have been threatening for some time to trade my Canon EOS-M in for a Fujifilm XT-1. Well Black Friday finally pushed me over the edge and it arrived on Thursday complete with 18-135mm lens (that’s 27 to 206 in 35mm terms). I decided to go for the single zoom lens because the whole point… Continue reading Pine Siskins
Summer Flowers
It’s that time of year when it is hard to find a good weather window to go out and shoot and the over 5000 images I have in my files from this year are nagging at me. So, this week I started the process of sifting through and deleting those with no redeeming value and… Continue reading Summer Flowers
Mount McLoughlin
One of the things I’ve missed most in being away from Oregon is the beauty of the snow capped Cascade volcanoes. Southern Oregon’s own Mount McLoughlin has been looking pretty sad and bare all summer but now the snow has returned to the higher elevations and the Mountain is looking quite glorious on this rare… Continue reading Mount McLoughlin
Autumn Leaves
I had to take another trip to Lithia Park this week and it was still stunning though perhaps past peak. I wanted to share a macro image in contrast to last week’s landscape though I again had many beautiful images of both genres to choose from. Beautiful as these leaves were they were a little… Continue reading Autumn Leaves
Van Gough meets Lithia Park
I thought that being in the throes of moving I had completely missed fall color this year but a post from a fellow photographer alerted me to the fact that Lithia Park in Ashland was still putting on a pretty good show. It was hard to pick an image of the week there was so… Continue reading Van Gough meets Lithia Park
Acorn
I have been up to my ears in unpacking and feathering my new nest this week. So, I came up empty on the image of the week front. So, this morning I decided to put everything else on hold and go for a camera walk. I had in mind an old barn I had seen… Continue reading Acorn
Autumn Leaf
Another week of moving with little time for photography. I did pause for a few minutes to photograph this beautiful leaf. I like the color of the moss it was sitting on but the detail was just too distracting so I ended up adding a texture to soften the background. I think I could have… Continue reading Autumn Leaf
