PLACES WHERE WE CAN, OR USED TO, SIT

Hey members! 
      I just took some time to finally do this on Sunday afternoon.  Sorry for being late. It turned out to be a lot of fun. I never left my yard.  There are more than one of the same subject but I couldn't decide so I put them both up.  I just couldn't put a picture of my toilet up in here so I put the SKETCH effect on it.

LOOK UP

I've been remodeling and not much time for photos.  One I took at the dentist office, and the others I  took in October. Sorry for being late today.

After looking at this for an hour I thought about "Looking up" so they let me take a picture.

PATTERNS AND REPETITION

What a great day I had last Sunday. I got all my equipment and went for a drive down Jefferson Ave. heading into Detroit to see if I could find patterns for this new assignment focusing on structures or buildings.    I had like 300 shots to whittle down to these. Sorry for so many. I could do a few more sets with what is left.

Mmmmmm Food!!

     For the last few weeks I've been bachin' it so there is no food in the house, therefore no setup.  I have my phone with me when I eat out, so here are some photos of yummy stuff I'm eating lately. I added the peppers I picked from my garden.

Yummy old school sliders at Hunter House on Woodward Ave. in Birmingham.  Mark and Lynn probably know of this place.

MOVING WATER STUDY

Greetings,
   I had fun with this yesterday afternoon.  I have been couch ridden with a cold so I went out to enjoy the beautiful afternoon.  I took the garden hose and let it run while I took some pics.  Some with a tripod and some without.  Different shutter speeds and iso. This is the way to learn about shutter speeds.  After 155 pictures I was getting the hang of it.  The difference in 1/1500 and 1/2000 is noticeable, not to mention 1/30 to 1/3000.
The first 4 -- no tripod--small stream from nozzel
The next 3 --tripod and large deluge from hose

Here's the setup with water splashing on light (solid stream)  1/45sec f11 iso100

1/1000 f5.6  iso400 This looks like a solid stream until  it's stopped at 1/1000sec

Water pouring off light at 1/1000 f5.6 iso400

Similar to above--I like the drops

Open hose stream-tripod-1/2000 f4 iso100

1/3000sec f4.5 iso400  Compare to next shot at 1/10sec These two pictures were taken set at shutter priority 1/3000 and 1/10.  Notice how the camera went to f4.5 for the 1/3000 shot(wide open) and then went to f32(tiny opening) for the 1/10 shot to let enough light in for each.

This is what we see--- 1/10sec f32 iso400

ORANGE STUFF

Hi folks,  Here's some orange stuff--perfect time of year for it.
I read the email from Joanne about something orange and I looked out the window and saw the orange moon just after sunset low in the west.  

#1  This is how it looked in the sky but the picture came out a lot whiter (any ideas) so I tweaked in a little orange to make it look the way I saw it.   1/60 f5.6 iso400 400mm

#2  Garden harvest 1/3 sec f22 iso100  13mm wide angle I wanted everything in focus so-- f22 aperture-but look at shutter speed--hard to hand hold still enough. I gotta start using the tripod

Action Photos

Hi everyone,

     This was fun and makes you think about shutter speed and aperture. I did some moving cars with blurred background at the Gratiot cruise and a couple stop action of moving objects.
   The moving cars was hard to do without the tripod.  I took a lot of pictures to get these few sharp shots. Most were done at 1/30sec.  At 1/30 it's hard to do a still subject handheld. I basically tried to get the background and wheels blurred with the subject sharp
