Odds and Ends

From Photo of the day 2012

A collection of random photos from the few I have taken over the past six months. I always say I will take lots of photos with my students when we start up Photography class in January and it never seems to last very long. Perhaps because I am surrounded by some great photos from them, perhaps because processing them takes time and I already spend lots of time in front of screen at work. Anyways. This first one I took in February when we got some cold weather and I got ice feathers on the inside of my single pane windows. Hard to find the right light to get these well, but made use of my macro stuff and this one came out pretty good. A little unseasonable, but not bad. Sharpened a bit in Picasa, nothing else.

This one was found by one of my students at school, we had it as a mystery and I thought it cool enough to try grab a decent shot. Its made out of snow - we found out later it was from the bottom of one of my student's shoes. For those that are intensely curious, I think the letter that "Many good things begin with" was A. I straightened this and cropped in Picasa.

Taken a week or so ago - much more seasonable. A snazzy red columbine out in the cow pasture. I was using my wide-angle zoom lens, and was pretty well lying on the ground to isolate it out against the sky. I used aperture of f 8 to make sure it was all in focus and sharp. I liked how the dandelion seeds had gotten stuck on various parts of the flower. Cropped in Picasa, nothing else.
