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 [...]

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.

A flower photoshoot

June 8, 2008

I decided to stop at the flower shop and pick up some test subjects.  We picked up a few flowers and a couple of vases for a photo shoot. 
I set up with a black backdrop on a table, pointed a couple of shop lights using “daylight” bulbs at the flowers and shot from various angles [...]

Colorful Old Barn

June 2, 2008

This is a barn that I drive by frequently.  I hadn’t noticed the colors and general look of it until I passed by in the early morning just after the sun came up.
I shot this with my standard Tamron 28-75 F/2.8 lens with a circular polarizer (which explains the deep blue sky).
I just love this [...]

Woody Woodpecker

May 27, 2008

First off, I promise not all of my pictures will be of birds! 
I saw this big guy fly right over my head, very close to my head, actually.  Luckily, he decided to have lunch on a tree close to our house.  I was able to get inside and get the camera while he [...]

Bald Eagle – Part II

May 12, 2008

Here is another picture of one of the eagles mentioned yesterday.  I have several very good pictures but they are all variations on these.  I have to go back and see if I can get a picture of them sitting in the tree.  That was beautiful.

Bald Eagle

May 11, 2008

As we were driving home today from some running, we saw a pair of bald eagles sitting in a tree.  HUGE eagles sitting in a tree.  I got turned around, stopped, got on the Canon 75-200 F/2.8 L lens.  As I was walking towards them, they took off.  I’m not sure if they were hungry [...]

Daytime moon

April 25, 2008

There is something about the moon during the day. We were walking the dog when I saw this one.

A little further on, it got better….
