Flying high

Flying high

It’s kinda wierd that I tend to take so many pictures of birds. I really don’t like birds that much. They seem like rats with wings to me most of the time. They can be so annoying, pooping on everything and making noise and such. Yet I keep photographing them. I think I’m just fascinated by their ability to fly and they make it look so easy.

I find the edges a bit distracting in this, but I really like the detail in the center area. This was taken a month or so ago as the leaves were beginning to fall. They have pretty much all fallen now which reminds me, I need to rake my front yard.

And it was good…

And it was good...

Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. And God saw that it was good. Then he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light “day” and the darkness “night.” Together these made up one day. Let their light shine down upon the earth.” And so it was.
For God made two great lights, the sun and the moon, to shine down upon the earth. The greater tne, the sun, presides during the day; the lesser one, the moon, presides through the night. He also made the stars. God set these lights in the heavens to light the earth, to govern the day and the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good.
Genesis 1:3-18

Yet another shot from my nature walk day from a couple of weeks ago. It’s time to get out and do some shooting. I did some snapshot kinda stuff of family over the past couple of days. Nothing I’d really post though. This shot struck me because of the sharpness and colors. I didn’t do anything apart from resize it for the web. I need to learn to slow down and be more aware af settings and such so I don’t have to do much editing. Not that editing is bad, but I tend to shoot away and go to fast. I think it’s probably one of the downfalls to digital photography because there is no worry about wasting money on film. This is a good and bad thing in my opinion. Brandon and I attended a meeting of a local camera club and one of the ladies said something that has stuck in my mind. She said to use your tripod as much as possible because it helps your shots be more sharp and it causes you to slow down.
