Sparrows

What a fun afternoon! Hours of amusement photographing sparrows. They are so sweet with a variety of personalities.

Night Shots--Set Two

Had wanted to drive into town for a night shot, but that didn't happen. Decided to paint a setup with light after dark.

This is an example of painting with light (used for instruction only).

Last night this sunset appeared framed in our living room window. Finally, I couldn't stand it and grabbed my camera. The Hudson River School of painters, came to mind. This sunset would be perfect glazed in layers as part of a misty landscape.

About a week ago, this sunset splashed across the sky--a once in a lifetime spectacular!!!

From the Hip

From the Hip Assignment: This is the original, straight from the camera. Resizing occurred when inserting in email to send from iphone.

For Tuesday--From the Hip

This week's images were intuitively taken holding iphone camera at hip level, not arranging for composition and without looking at the LCD screen. I did play with a couple of in-camera (Plastique app) techniques--adding those choices prior to shooting.
