Week 50 – Dec 8 to Dec 14

G7X Mk II – 1/125, f/2.8, ISO 800, Eval Meter Well it’s Christmas time again. I took this photo of Christmas tree lights at my granddaughters Holiday Dance Recital. I actually had the camera in shutter priority mode. This pic came out blurry but after looking at it, and adjusting the colors, I felt it helped to emphasize the specialness of this time of year.

Week 49 – Dec 1 to Dec 7

DJI Mavic Pro – 1/320, f/2.2, ISO 100, CWA On December 7, we went to see our longtime friends from our early Air Force days. While there, I took my trusty, 7 year old Mavic Pro drone up for a spin.

We used to use big tarps and rakes – that was fun (not). Then we got a leaf vacuum – that thing was so loud we probably have permanent hearing loss. However, three years ago we got a new mower and this […]

Week 46 – Nov 10 to Nov 16

5D Mk IV – EF 24-70 f/2.8L – Various Shutter Speeds, f/16, ISO 100, CWA This panorama was actually taken in October. It’s our backyard. What’s unique about it is that it is an HDR pano consisting of 45 separate photos. I used my Acratech Panoramic tripod head with the nodal rail. The focal length of the lens was set to 70mm and I had identified the nodal point previously, and then set it accordingly. The pic is actually 5 […]
