Started a 365

January 4, 2009

I’ve started a 365 blog. I’ll keep this photo-a-week up since I have some pictures I really like but the new photos will be posted at: http://www.mulcahy-photo.net/pixel

I started using PixelPost as opposed to WordPress. I’m now using a blog app specifically for photoblogs. Much easier!

Back from the Netherlands and Switzerland

October 26, 2008

I had to get something posted.  I’m going through the pictures sequentially.   This is the first one I liked.  This was taken in Amsterdam.  I like the feel of the family interaction and had to keep the people in the background in the picture.

Another visit to Bush Lake Park

October 9, 2008

I stopped by Bush Lake Park on the way home yesterday.  Had to get some practice in.  We’re heading off to the Netherlands and Switzerland tomorrow.  Should be fun.  I hope to bring back several really good pictures from that trip.  I plan on focusing on photography quite a bit.  Taking all the gear and plan to use the tripod as often as possible.

Park Lawn Care Equipment

September 29, 2008

Taken at Lake Minnetonka park.  Took the dog there.  It’s been a long time since we have been there.

This was sitting there in the sun on a mostly overcast day.  I liked the lines, the shadows and the contrast.

Another trip to Northfield, MN

September 21, 2008

Another trip to Northfield, MN, this time with the new camera.  I thoroughly enjoyed the 5D.  There is quite a bit of difference between the 5D and the Rebel XTi.  I really need to get used to it.  My fingers seem trained to go for the buttons and settings in the configuration of the XTi.  Both are very intuitive but I’m used to the old way.

Playing with a new camera!

September 19, 2008

I recently acquired a Canon EOS 5D!  It’s a camera I’ve been watching for a long time.  I am still practicing with it (OK, taking random shots of my dog) trying to get a hang of the wider selection of ISO settings, better focus options and general FUN of it.  It is a much bigger camera physically.  It seems to fit my hand better than the XTi.

I will get a new picture posted asap.

Thanks

Chris

Prior Lake Flag

August 31, 2008

Another trip to the park.  This is our favorite park.  The wind and clouds were just right for this flag.

1/1600 at F/8.0 ISO 2000.  I cropped and applied some vignetting to it.  Is vignetting a word?

Butterfly

August 31, 2008

A colorful picture of a butterfly.  Taken in very bright sunlight with a Canon 28-75mm lens all the way in to 75mm.  1/4000 second at F2.8 ISO 100.

Pleased about a good putt

August 25, 2008

She was happy with the putt she had just sunk.  This pretty much sums her up when she’s in a good mood.
