Slow Shutter speed and move the camera
Try it, you may like it? This was taken of a college football game on TV. "Talk about a mess of bodies hitting each other just to stop or move a ball". Bright colored uniforms, beautiful turf and action in your own living room.

It's Just a Rock
Rocks always give me wonder. How old is it? Where was it found? How did it get to it's present location. How can I use it as a background texture in my photography? Can I use it in many ways.

Matthew's Flying Chicken
My grandson said this is his best flying chicken. He throws it up in the air and sure enough the chicken (hen) does a great landing. Even with this activity the hen lays an egg a day.

Back on line after a weekend with no internet
This is a Christian Band called "Zero". I put them coming out of a rock because I thought that they were rock solid. Four of the members are my grandchildren.

More Colors

On my photo a day quest, I am pushing color ideas. I photographed these large spools of thread and then took a second photograph while moving the camera. Both images were combined and using blending modes and layer opacity, I came up with this image of bright cheerful colors.

Morning Walk
In my morning walk today I decided to continue to photograph daily. My emphasis today was "Color". I shot the first good color object that I saw which was part of this fire plug. My 2 mile walk was not in vain. I got the aerobic exercise and did some street photography.

A Walk in the Garden
A very cold windy day to walk in the Chicago Botanical Garden. Set the ISO at 1600 and shot three hand held images with a P&S camera for HDR. It worked fine for my use.
