I've been wanting to experiment with longer exposures for a while, and took this picture in southeast Colorado Springs. I'm not completely happy with the images I got, but it was a learning experience and worthwhile. Taken with the 43mm limited.

Project 52: week 1

Inspired by this post, I've decided to make the effort to take and post at least one photo a week this year. I didn't decide this until today, but luckily I have a shot taken on the first. It's just a test shot of a squirrel, taken with a new-to-me 200mm telephoto lens. The depth of field is so thin at ƒ/2.8 that the lower half of the squirrel appears to be in better focus than the top, unless it's the fact that I was shooting at 1/60th of a second, image stabilization or no!

I picked up a used camera for a sort of knock-about second camera the other day - it's a Samsung GX-1L, and so far I'm very happy with it.

Saw this guy (girl?) at a Wal-Mart parking lot the other day - was fairly skittish, but let me get close enough for a couple of shots. Taken with our Pentax k-x & DA 55-300mm lens. Click 'read more' to see the slideshow...

I decided to take my son for a walk yesterday evening so that Mom could have a break. I went ahead and took along the camera with a 50mm lens and had a first go with a circular polarizing filter that I picked up the other day. (click any image to enlarge)

Looks like driftwood, but in reality I found it not far below the top of Blodgett Peak when climbing it last December.

Was in downtown Denton, TX today, and thought this would make a fun photo. Taken with an iPhone 4, cropped in-camera, and ran through the free Filter FX app.
