Mother Nature

f/8.0 ISO 100

It was very bright out, so I thought 100 could handle the light the best. The d.o.f. gave me pause for thought. Although I'm sure the actual depth of these clouds was in the miles, they were so far away from me that they looked very flat - rather like a painting - so I chose f/8. (I did not shoot a series using different f/stops and ISO.)

This was taken on Saturday at about 1:30 p.m. up at Marymoor Park in Redmond. The cloud formations were incredible that day. I have never tried to capture clouds, so I thought I'd give it a shot! I like the color palatte in this photo. It captures what it really looked like. In all honesty...I forgot to look at the histogram before I downloaded this to my computer!

Patterns

I liked the rain drops hitting the pond creating these circular patterns. F stop at 18 iso set at 800 shutter 1/125 sec. The histogram showed most sections being involved with it ending nicely at each side before getting to the edges. What I could do without is the shadow of the trees, I find it distracting and if I were a little taller it would provide a better view of the rings.

Monique C - Simple Focus

I admit it, I'm a BIG mushroom fan. I don't mind lying on the wet ground in the middle of a trail in order to take a picture. Had it set on macro.

This is my great niece actually sitting quietly for a change. She took a moment to take in the scenery (she is usally quite the ham) and I took advantage of it.

How often do you see a dog with a mohawk? I had to take a close up of Jackie, an 11 year old friendly pooch I found, waiting outside a bar in Bellingham for her owner.

Donna Wright emphsis

This shot was taken with landscape. The flash went off and totally changed the picture. Added the dark element which really made the photo stand out from others. I wish there was something in the lefthand dark corner. Kind'a makes you wonder what's in the dark.

Donna Wright sense of scale

I used portrait setting for this pic, this was one of the 30 shots.

Fir needles provide sense of scale.

Donna Wright selective focus

I used macro for this pic, took me about 30 photos to get this one.
