Focal Length: 5mm

This is a photo of a few of our fireplace tools. I though the tops of them looked like something from the middle ages. I reduced the saturation to give them an older look!

Magic Sunset

Camera: Canon 60D

Focal Length: 18mm
ISO: 100
Aperture: f / 13.0
Shutter Speed: 1/1250 sec

This is another photo from my Florida Trip! I took this while on the ferry leaving Disney’s Magic Kingdom. I really liked how the sun was reflecting off the water and the shape of the castle like hotel was just a silhouette in the background!

Empty Flowers

Camera: Canon 60D
Lens: Canon EF-S 18-135mm
Focal Length: 135mm
ISO: 200
Aperture: f / 8.0
Shutter Speed: 1/200 sec

Saw these old flower “husks” on the tree outside my house covered in snow. Maybe when the flowers come back in I will take another picture of the same branch for comparison!

Framed Sunset

Camera: Canon 60D
Lens: Canon EF-S 18-135mm
Focal Length: 72mm
ISO: 200
Aperture: f / 10.0
Shutter Speed: 1/50 sec

As mentioned in the last post here is the one with the sky in focus instead of the busy. I really got inside the bush for this one to try to find a good spot where the branches framed the shot from all sides!

Day Forty Eight

Hidden Sunset

Camera: Canon 60D
Lens: Canon EF-S 18-135mm
Focal Length: 52mm
ISO: 200
Aperture: f / 10.0
Shutter Speed: 1/50 sec

Just look at the color in that sky, how could I not take a picture. I also took several pictures of just the sky but I really liked the silhouette of the leaves in this shot! Look for a bonus picture with the clouds in focus soon!

Day Forty Seven

Broken Bark

Camera: Canon 60D
Lens: Canon EF-S 18-135mm
Focal Length: 52mm
ISO: 200
Aperture: f / 8.0
Shutter Speed: 1/125 sec

I really liked how much detail there was in this old tree. The part of the tree without bark offered a cool color and texture change from the right side of the photo with the bark!

Day Forty Six

Water Me

Camera: Canon 60D
Lens: Canon EF-S 18-135mm
Focal Length: 135mm
ISO: 200
Aperture: f / 5.6
Shutter Speed: 2.5 sec

I saw this leaf on one of my roommates plants and wanted to capture the detail of the veins and the different colors all fading into one another. I also really liked how rich the wooden table looked so I decided to leave it in the shot!

Day Forty Five

The Path of Power

Camera: Canon 60D
Lens: Canon EF-S 18-135mm
Focal Length: 18mm
ISO: 200
Aperture: f / 8.0
Shutter Speed: 1/200 sec

I liked the way the power lines led off to the horizon in this picture, they lead the eye across the shot. With all the branches in the picture I decided to go with black and white to keep things simple!

Day Forty Four

Warm Color

Camera: Canon 60D
Lens: Canon EF-S 18-135mm
Focal Length: 67mm
ISO: 200
Aperture: f / 5.6
Shutter Speed: 0.3 sec

Took this picture of a candle using a fairly long exposure which resulted in this out of focus shot full of warmth. I like how the colors just flow into one another emanating from the flame at the center!

Day Forty Three

Snow Slope

Camera: Canon 60D
Lens: Canon EF-S 18-135mm
Focal Length: 135 mm
ISO: 200
Aperture: f / 8.0
Shutter Speed: 1/125 sec

The contrast between the wood and the snow and the shapes the shingles made caught my eye and made me take this shot!
