Purple Orange Sunset |
The colors of a sunset are always fleeting. This one lasted no more
than a minute. And the details of the pink highlighted clouds lasted for
only seconds.

Double Daffodils |
I positioned my camera to get the stamens of the flowers to show up and then
set the focus on the stamens. I compromised on the depth-of-field by
using an f/11 aperture rather than f/22. This way there would not be enough DOF to
bring the background into focus but enough to make most of the flower
petals appear sharp. I verified this by using the depth-of-field
preview button on my camera
Since this was taken in the middle of February, it seems that the
daffodils are blooming early this year. |

Green Post |
This fence post was green from the algae growing on it, not from paint.

I found the symmetry of this tree in the pond
to be interesting. Not only is the tree symmetrical because of the
reflection in the water, but it is quite symmetrical left to right as
well.

This spool of barbed wire had been here for a
while. Notice the volunteer saplings growing up through the wire.

I laid down on the ground to get this
perspective of the forest's winter ground cover.

This duck is always alone and hangs out at the
same spot. Perhaps he has been shunned by the others due to his
unusual markings.

Toby makes a great companion on our early
morning photo shoots at Shelby Farms.

Vine Alive |
Just a bit of green amongst all the brown and gray.

Seven Leaves |
The color of these leaves attracted me. In the winter, as a
photographer, you get sort of starved for color. Well not just as a
photographer, but I'm sure everyone does. As a photographer, you
really look for color, even in the smallest places.
