Water Droplet

I read an article today, I guess now it was yesterday, about water photography and the techniques to use in photographing a water droplet as it hits the water or shortly thereafter. That's one good thing about digital photography is that you can get an immediate response and can adjust your technique and exposure. It took me several attempts and I really only got the one good splash. I'll keep trying and experimenting - but, for my first one it didn't turn out to bad.

I swear - my new lens can one so close I believe you could count the hairs on a wasps butt!! Try it... clock on the photo for a larger image and see how many hairs you can count.

Sturdy Fellow

This little tree has been coming in through a crack in the cement - I noticed it one day last week and every day I expect to see it "squished" - but it is there every morning.

Amana Colonies

The photo club I belong to went on a photo shoot at the Amana Colonies. I took a lot of photographs (really a lot) so choosing just 1 is impossible - so here are 3.


This little guy was "busy as a bee"...
