Week 16 of 52 - April 2010

This weeks post is a couple of shots of tulips growing at our place. Tulip shooting has been a challenge as we have had an abundace of wind. The first picture is my favorite of the two. The second had the tulip in bright sun so the lighting is a bit challenged!

Week 15 of 52 - April 2010

This week's post is a couple of captures of an orchestra honors concert my youngest auditioned for and was selected to. Seating for the concert was pretty limited so I didn't get any outstanding shots of him performing. The first shot is his section (he is back left in the shot) and the second shot is of the entire orchestra.

Oh and something I learned from the first picture, if you watch orchestra and cross your legs; it is definately right leg over left leg.

Week 14 of 52 - April 2010

Getting caught back up on the posting today. This post is a series of pictures of a couple of wind generators situated behind an old limestone fencepost. When my part of western Kansas was first settled limestone which lies in shallow beds in this area was a primary building material and was also used for fenceposts as trees are few and far apart out here. The posts still line many of the fields and pastures in this area. All three shots were taken with a Canon 70-200 at 70mm, I just varied the aperature. The first is at f2.8(my favorite) the next at f8 and the last at f14.

Week 13 of 52 - March / April 2010

My posts for this week are from Easter Sunday morning. Our great nephew stopped by to see us and the first capture was taken in our house. He spent the morning with us while mom and dad went to church as we had already attended mass. I took him to a neighborhood park for a couple of hours and the last two shots were taken there.
All the captures were taken with a Canon 50mm L prime on a Canon 5D. He is such a cute little guy!
