Rusty parts

Something about this small part of a large tractor caught my eye. I like the shadows and the fact that it looks like the thing has not been run in years. It cannot be that old but Minnesota winters will do that.

Minneapolis at night

This one does not really count since it was taken over a year ago but I like it and wanted to share.

Daytime moon

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….

Washing the car

I don’t know why I decided to do this. I was getting ready to wash the car and decided to pull out the camera. In retrospect, it would have been better with the top down.

What do you think of this one? I need to be more careful with background items or at least fix the depth of field so the background blurs.

A start in earnest

OK, I haven’t done so well. Now, I’m starting in earnest. Digital-photography-school.com has a weekly contest. This week was “spring.” Spring in Minnesota is a bit cold so I wanted to convey the icy nature of the lakes here. Enjoy!

By the way, this is not my dog. We do have a dog but not this one. This particular little pooch was playing with his people when he noticed the lake, noticed there were no people between him and the lake and decided to make a break for it. He thought it was a great game to run from his people as he went in and out of the still-frozen lake.

Introduction

I’m a recent addict to photography. I’ve been playing around but have not yet fully committed myself. This photo blog will help me to do just that. I will strive to post at least one photo per week for as long as I can. I have not yet chosen a specialty (nature, wildlife, wedding, merchandising, abstract, etc) so expect so see a wide variety of photos.

Your comments are very welcome. I need the feedback to help me grow as a photographer. What do you like in my photos, what don’t you like, subject ideas…

I am shooting with a Canon Digital Rebel XTi, kit lens, cheap telephoto 100mm-300mm, 50mm prime, some various filters, a SpeedLite 580EX and some other minor toys.
