High Noon

Perfect example of why shooting at high noon is HARD! I couldn't get this photo metered right to save my life. I'll be going back at a different time of day for sure. If I remember, I'll post the result.

Susan Lutz 'Looking to Heaven'

I took this picture with an ISO 400, f/5.6, 1/40s. I was drawn to this angle standing all alone and looking up to the heavens.

Susan Lutz 'Earth's Beauty'

I loved the dew drops on the flower. This was taken with an ISO 400, 1/30s, f13.0

Susan Lutz 'Rooster Guarding the Garden'

This was taken with an ISO 400, 1/160s, f/9.0

Susan Lutz 'The Hand'

I love the way the hand is offering to open the door for you to come in.

I took this with an ISO 800, 1/15s, f/13.0

Water in Motion

This picture was taken with an ISO 400, f/22.0, 1/25s.

Lower Falls Robbi Houser

This was taken at F16 1/15th of a second and i have no idea what the ISO was, i was playing with it so much that day. I was standing on the bridge looking straight down at the falls, and it turned out to be a pretty cool... if moody, photo.

Barn at early evening

I really love old Barns. It was early evening and the light on this barn was incredible! I took this photo with center metering, ISO 200, aperture priority, 1/80 at F11, 105 mm. Diana Delgado

Falls Fieldtrip

I like the water crashing over the rocks in this photo. It was a wonderful field trip! Shot at f4.5, shutter 1/500, ISo 200. Shutter priority with spot metering, 105 mm. I shot 3 photos with different metering & I like this one best. Diana Delgado

Jessica Simon - "Mother's Day Blue Flowers"

Found these blue flowers on a Mother's Day outing. Canon 40D, TV, 1/60, f9, ISO 200, evaluative metering. I absolutely love the colors. Next time I would have tried a different metering, such as spot metering (I forgot!). Additionally, it looks a little dark to me and therefore not as clear a focus as I'd like.

Jessica Simon - "Field Trip, Last Shot of the Day"

This was my last shot taken for the day at Tumwater Falls. I like the blur/flow of the water and the contrast of the green moss on the rocks. I wasn't using a tripod, therefore the rocks aren't as clear as I'd like them. Canon 40D, TV, 1/15, f13, ISO 200, evaluative metering.

Heather Olsen - Flowers

This picture was taken at shutter speed 1/20, ISO 400, partial metering, with the flash on. The histogram shows fairly dark. If I had to do it again, I would have played with different settings to try to make the picture a little lighter. I liked the way the flowers looked in the water and smashed in the glass.

Unexpected

This was taken at f/5.6; 1/400, ISO 200, matrix metering. I wish I had taken a tighter shot so that there was more focus and detail on this unexpected "flower." Since I didn't get what I wanted in the camera, I cropped it, but still couldn't get the balance quite right.

Kathryn Kramer - Water flowing over rock

This was taken at almost ground level of a small amount of water flowing over a small rock. Camera was set at 800 ISO because of the shaded area with Shutter 1/4 and F13. What a fun field trip!

Terri Perkins -- Self Portrait in a Puddle

This was taken in aperture priority, f/11, 1/10 sec, ISO 200, 18 mm, Nikon D90, Center Weighted Metering, EV: +1

I was standing under the trees with bright sunlight shining through and liked the way my shadow was reflecting in the puddle. If you squint your eyes it looks like I'm wearing a pair of bell bottomed jeans!

Lindie "Seagull"

I was shooting this seagull on the log and it flew off to get a fish. I hadn't realized I had this shot until I reviewed it later. It turned out to be my favorite picture! Taken at F5.6 ISO 80, 1/500 shutter speed.

Mike "Dog Prints"

I really liked how these dog prints looked in the sand, taken F4.5 ISO 80, 1/100 shutter speed.

We went to a beach on Mothers Day and I took this shot low to the ground next to the surf. The sun is overexposed, but without a filter I could not get the coloring in the sky and water if I metered for the sun. Shot at F4.5 ISO-80 1/1250 shutter speed. I noticed I was not level, but I could fix that in Photoshop.

Mike "Seagull"

I caught this gull flying while shooting the falls. Shot at F8, ISO 250, 1/1244 sec shutter speed.

Mike "Hidden Falls"

I found this little series of falls and really liked how green and natural everything looked, but in contrast there was a bolt coming out of the wall. It looked like a small bit of industry left over from years past being grown over. I shot it at F8, ISO 80, .59 sec shutter speed.

The shadow cast by the railing created this pattern. I probably would not have taken this picture if the scavenger hunt hadn't given me the idea. If I copied it end to end, I think it would look like a page border from the Microsoft files.

I took this laying on the grass. It reminded me of being a kid, schools out for the summer, the dog and I are down by the creek playing... I'm glad I now know what the Aperture setting is for.

Monique - Goosed

I was walking back to the truck to go home when geese starting flying in & landing on this stump, one would land & then another showed up & pushed him/her off. I was at my favorite haunt for picture taking, down at the Nisqually refuge. It was quite late in the day so I was using ISO 500 & found the spot metering was working best. My exposure mode was in Aperture priority. F/5.6 & shutter speed was at 1/125 of a second. I like that you can see the underside of the wings even on the darker side. I wish I would have had my zoom all the way at 300 to get a little closer and have less trees all around.

Bath Time - April Karreci

1/160, FS 5.6, ISO 1600, Spot Metering. We have a pond in our backyard and this little guy likes to come take baths. I would have like to have been at a different angle, but they move so quickly, I was lucky to get this.
