sdscotto – Death Valley #1

May 14, 2009 · 3 Comments

From Ron’s and my trip to Death Valley back in April.  I had originally discounted this photo because of the wind blowing so hard as to make the Palms blurry.  However, in looking at it a week or so ago I decided it added something to the photo.  I really would like to go back (in winter!) on a calm night and try this again.

sdscotto – Alaska ‘Shroom

When Ray, Kim, Kim and I went to Alaska in 2007, we went on an ATV adventure through a forest.  These mushrooms were all over the place and I thought they were really interesting.

I was going through some of my other photos and wanted to share.  Maybe we can continue to share photos here without the pressure of _taking_ the photo daily? 

I really miss all of your photos.

No Sun for you

No Sun for you

In less than 60 seconds from the time Diana spotted this amazing sunset, I missed the shot of the orb.  No post processing and the clouds were just as seen here.

This is a pic I took of Lucky Jim on a day when I thought another pic was better.  I took it with the landscape view on my camera and I didn’t think it looked like much until I saw it on my computer.  I hope what you can see is how brilliantly blue the sky is here.  It makes me aware of how dingy the sky is in SoCal.

I miss everyone’s pics too.  I took the worst pics for this challenge but I bet I learned the most.  Besides the basics of learning to upload to my computer, crop, eliminate red eye, turn off the flash on my camera and use the different settings, I learned something more fundamental.  I’ve never been a person who takes many pictures or even really thinks to use my camera.  After this challenge, I look at the world with different eyes.  I can’t help looking at something and thinking wow, that would make a great pic of the day, something I never would have thought before.  I’ll never come close to the technical capabilities of the rest of you but I’ve become comfortable with my stupid little point-and-shoot, and I hope that translates into using it more and capturing at least some of the significant moments that otherwise would fade into oblivion.
