Week 4.5 - Nate

Jordan mentioned at the beginning that there might be more than 1 per week so that’s my excuse for a second post this week.  Like I said, there were several photos from my afternoon outing that I liked. The flag picture was my favorite, here is my second favorite. If I had it to take over again, I would move forward some to get less of the overhang at the top. How else could I improve it?

Week 04 - Jordan

Shot this on the drive home from work. The days are starting to get longer so it's not completely dark when I head home. It's nice, I like it that way.

Week 4 – Nate

We had some beautiful weather today. I went for a walk downtown and came home with several images that I was happy with but this one really stuck out. I’m especially fond of it because it required no post processing.

Week 3 - Nate

Well I took a picture of the same sun dog as Jordan except I took mine shortly before sunset. I think I like Jordan’s better so it’s tough to post this after his but I don’t have anything else for you this week :P

Week 03 - Jordan

My photo this week is a sun rise with a twist. I'd been waiting most of the winter for sun dogs and had to chase them down when I saw them. Ended up going into the parking lot of Horizon, climbing into the snow, and taking a few photos. Once back in my car, I started putting my camera away, but wanted to check the shots first. When I tried to look, I realized I didn’t have a card in my camera, so I had to do it all over again.

Cold feet, but cool sun. It was like this for the rest of the day.

Week 02 - Jordan

Kirby is the subject this week. I didn’t get out to shoot anything today like I planned thanks to being sick, but I took this earlier in the week with my new lens.

Week 1 - Nate

I didn’t make it out today to take pictures like I wanted to so instead I’m going to post one I took last Saturday during the snowstorm. This is a from a field just outside my apartment. There were about 15 bunnies running around but I found this one just watching all the fun.

Week 01 - Jordan

My photo this week is a result of last night’s festivities with bacon.

I like the lighting coming from behind the bowl of pork and I’m pleased with the sharpness in the middle.

If I was able to do it again, I’d increase the depth of field so all of it was sharp and I’d move the placemat out of the top right corner. I might even polish up the bowl a bit more and remove the stray sauce on the left.

Reading

I’m glad Nate was able to find where we got the idea – I couldn’t remember!
