Two Minute Blue Hour, Lake Sam Rayburn TX A view from the new beach we've found at Lake Sam Rayburn. I can't stress enough how cool this beach is. My photos don't really give any sense of what it looks like, just the view. I'll have to take a video the next time we're there. Maybe I'm just really excited because the previous 20 or so lake views we've scouted on two different lakes have mostly been a bust. We're really looking forward to spending the day there sometime in the next few weeks and exploring it further. This is a single two minute exposure taken some 20 minutes after the sun went down. This is one of the last shots of the night and it was getting dark fast. I'm always surprised how much light I can continue to capture long after the sun goes down. I used a 3-stop hard-step graduated neutral density filter to block three stops of light above the horizon. I've always admired the abstract feeling of really long exposures on the water, and it has been a goal of mine to make some really long exposures of my own. I've still got a lot to learn. I'm also trying to break my habit of using 17mm and f/22, but habits are hard to break. QUESTION: I'm interested to hear your thoughts about the color temperature of this photo. What color temperature do you think I used for this photo? What's your best guess? What is the appropriate color temperature for this situation 20 minutes after sundown? Critiques always welcome!

January 7, 2012 This shot was taken just after sundown somewhere along the Mississippi coast of the Gulf of Mexico. We had stopped to walk on the beautiful white-sand beaches and take some photos. Just as we left, we stopped at a nearby marina to put gas in the car and I couldn't resist taking this photo. Frame added in Picnik. I hope you enjoy this tranquil setting captured in this photo - it's going to be one of my favorites from our recent vacation. Check it out in X3 for all the color, reflections and details. Thanks for your comments!!! Have a fabulous weekend!!! Linda

The Wonder of Childhood - Two small children are entranced with the fish in a small pond at the Denver Botanical Garden. There is nice detail if you want to look at it in the largest sizes. We're off this morning to go camping near Crede, Colorado with our kids and their families. It is supposed to be pretty chilly up there. Anyway, I'll miss commenting and posting for a couple of days until we get back. Hope you all have a great weekend!
The Grand Teton National Park, Wy (Mormon Row) THANK YOU When i got hear to shoot this barn there was about 15 to 20 photographers, it was still dark and the weather was bad,when i took this they all left because there was no sunrise, I wanted to wait and see and i am glad i did, So what i learned was to be Patient, wait and enjoy life, You never know what you might see Photo # 76
Fading Pink, Lake Sam Rayburn TX Nini and I were lucky to see a beautiful sunset at Lake Sam Rayburn on Sunday with the dogs. There were a lot of cool cloud formations. I think the low layer of clouds right on the horizon made for some extra-special colors in the sky. The pink swept across the sky from the East to the West. This was the view just before the pink faded away. This is a single two minute exposure taken just after sundown. To make this photo I first found a nice composition, which I really struggled with because most of the cool rocks I've been shooting are now on the beach due to a recent drop in the water level (this area of the lake is pretty shallow so I'm guessing the shoreline fluctuates often). Once I settled on this composition I played around with several graduated filter combinations until I finally decided on using a single 3-stop soft step graduated neutral density filter to bring the exposure of the sky down closer to that of the lake. I fiddled with the filter for a bit, making sure it was exactly where I wanted it to be, and took several test shots to double check. Once the filter was in place and just in time for sunset, I added a 5 stop neutral density filter to increase my exposure time from 4 seconds to 2 minutes. I like the slow shutter effect in the clouds and water and I like the exaggerated colors that come from really long exposures. Of course you don't get to take as many shots when you're using really long exposures and in this case I only took four. After those four shots I removed the 5 stop neutral density filter and took a lot more during the blue hour. During the long exposures I fiddled with another camera on another tripod, and even took a video I think. I've been trying to take more video while I'm shooting, but I'll probably never get around to editing them. Critiques always welcome. Daily photo: September 12, 2012, taken September 09, 2012
'Blowing Bubbles'...03/30/2011... Getting a tiny bit closer to where I would like to be...had about 30-40 minutes yesterday to roam about the yard...found this and a few other things...
This image shows a the water in a water balloon just after it has been punctured by a pin. Best viewed in the larger sizes. This was captured at 1/1000th second shutter speed. My grandson and I had an entire day of photography. We started early in the morning photographing red-wing blackbirds, swallows, and ducks at a little retention pond near his home. Then we shot more birds in his back yard. Then, we came to my house and punctured balloons, water balloons and played with giant bubbles. We had a ball! Spencer is a budding bird photographer and I hope to feature a few of his shots in the next few days. We are having new carpeting installed in part of our upstairs today. Lots of fun moving furniture and books to make way for the carpet layers. Hope you have a fun day, too! Thanks for all the nice comments on my most recent shot of the peony tulip.
