Travel Theme: New

The travel theme for this week at Where’s My backpack? is new.  I am posting my response a bit later in the week than I normally do because I was waiting for this photograph to occur:

ISO 100 50mm -0.67ev f/7.1 1/80

ISO 100 50mm -0.67ev f/7.1 1/80

There are a lot of things that qualify as new, but I think a new snowfall is quite beautiful.

Cheers!

Award Winning Frog

This photo got an honorable mention in competition in at my camera club. Yippee!:

ISO 500 135mm f/10 1/50

The grumpy old men (as I call them) who often sit behind me at club meetings, grumbled that this photo was just good because I had a really big lens.  Actually, I do wish I had a really big lens, and I may own one in the future, but this was taken with a 28-135mm kit lens.  I was just lucky enough to sneak up on this frog without it hopping off.

This is a handheld shot.  In Aperture I boosted the greens a bit, cropped and sharpened the image.

This image is also available for purchase on my website.

Cheers!
