Fire in the Sky and on the Shore

While on vacation on Seneca Lake I took this photo using a slow shutter speed to capture some movement of the flames.

Owego Photo Walk

The Photo-op went on a photo walk of Owego, NY tonight. My camera has been really acting up as of late, but I was fortunate to be able to make a couple decent exposures. Using the monochrome mode seemed to help. The photo above features the row of businesses on Front Street that line the bank of the Susquehanna River. If you look closely, you can see where a new river walk is being constructed. The photo below was taken in monochrome, then as I tinkered around in Picasa I somehow managed to make the red in the flag appear. (Just don’t ask me how…)

Purple Thistle

This thistle was growing by the lakehouse on Seneca Lake where my family stayed. Once again I'm playing with the depth of field. The contrast between the sharp quills in the forground and the fuzzy ones in the background make this one of my favorite shots.

Purple Cone Flowers

This photo was taken while on the Binghamton Photo Walk. I was playing with depth of field.

My favorite picture I have taken with my new camera, the Canon Rebel XS. Taken on the manual setting.
