I really like this one. I was able to get a good, distant background and multiplication darkened it easily.

A bit more colorful than some of the others. I really like how my 50mm can focus in pretty close without needing to use extension rings.

I think this was one of the better desktop pictures, I think.

This “short walk” turned into a mini photo-safari. When I got back to camp, I had to pack everything up.

This is one of about a dozen pleasant images of bark. I was having fun with my shallow depth of field. Razar State Park was pleasant, except for the droves of mosquitoes.

This was mostly an experiment in depth of field. In fact, after I got my 50mm F1.4, I went around snapping lots of pictures on the camping trips, trying to exercise my curiosity for detailed highlights. I’m posting this one because it’s…morbid. This is actually the most morbid picture of a flower I’ve ever seen. I don’t usually go there. You prolly don’t like it. I look at this picture and mutter, “that’s like a clinically depressed image of a very pleasant blossom.”

I don’t even think I really like it. However, I’m fascinated by how I’ve twisted it. Does it earn me devil horns? Please suggest a snappy caption :-)

Caruther’s Canyon

This was a fun trip this Thanksgiving, to Caruther’s Canyon. It was cold and windy, and Liam didn’t like that. But Liam loved climbing on the rocks and exploring. I’m so glad I could get him there again.
