I don’t have much to say for today’s post, so I’ll try to keep it short. It was a beautiful weekend, if a little on the cool side, but I didn’t do too much shooting. Instead the focus was on domestic things and actually going out and watching a live band for a change. It was nice. Plus I have…

Toadworks
It was a pleasant surprise to open a container at work and find this little guy sitting on a pipe. At only 2-3″ he didn’t take up much room and certainly wasn’t in the way. I thought the orange background was different enough from the usual toad photos to grab a portrait. He posed for a short while but eventually got nervous…
If it makes you happy
As I was heading out the door on my way to work this morning, I had to stop abruptly when I spotted this baby bunny on the walk in front of me with a watchful parent nearby. I could have easily walked on, they would have hopped away, and I would have continued on to work thinking nothing of it, but I…
Two shots in one
While I was browsing through some older files I came across some shots that I did last year of some berries. Out of about 20 different shots, I chose one I liked at the time and that was the end of it. I didn’t think about the other photos since. But while I was looking at the photos I saw…
Branching out
Not much to say tonight but I wanted to throw this image up and see how it looks. Just playing around with something different. One can only do spring blossom photos so many ways without wanting to experiment!
Out on a limb
That’s the way I like to approach art. I think I do my best work, and sometimes my worst work, when I am either not thinking at all or when I need to think of something, if that makes any sense. By not thinking I mean not preconceiving. Just going out and shooting whatever I come across that interests me. It…
Probably the last of these
As slow as spring was in coming, the blossoms aren’t sticking around too long. I tried some shots the other day but areas that I thought would be good for shooting were disappointing. It didn’t help that it hit below freezing aver the weekend either. So, to not bore you anymore (if I haven’t already), here’s my “greeting card” pic for…
Switch it up a little
Giving everybody a break from the spring theme photos. The fact that this outhouse in the woods is at least 1,000 feet from the nearest house is a little frightening. That would be one long hard walk, especially in the middle of winter! 😉 Looks like it hasn’t been used in a while though. I didn’t dare look inside.
Same place, different look
I mentioned earlier about trying to find compositions while shooting spring blossoms. Looking at a whole tree in bloom you either want to shoot the whole thing or focus on some individual flowers. I do both of those usually but I also like to find some interesting ways to mix it up a little. Trying to find some leading lines…
The pause that refreshes
It took a really slow steady pause to take this photo. With high magnification, a branch swaying in the breeze and a likewise swaying photographer trying to keep something in focus at the right moment that the shutter clicks, it was an exercise in patience. Sure I could have clipped a branch, taken it into a studio, put the camera on…
