Light Levels (2)

In our light level photography session, we focused on two statues at the Texas Capitol. This statue is on the south lawn of the Capitol, near the entrance to the building.

On the move

All three of these photos were taken with the camera on a tripod. The hazy effect in the last photo was not the intended result. However, looking on the bright side, my statue photograph has “movement.” Looks as if he is actually riding. Maybe. If you squint.

Light Levels (1)

A group of photographers met at the Texas Capitol where we took photos at different light levels. Now that I’m taking more photographs with my new camera, one thing I notice is how hazy the sky is a lot of the time. In my mind, the sky is blue, blue, blue; in my photographs, only sometimes. These two photos were taken just minutes from each other, just before sunset. The sky is ever changing.

Clint The Elder

This is Clint, our 13-year old Labrador Retriever. I never did figure out what he was looking at. I stood right by him looking up and I didn’t see anything. Out of the corner of my eye, I thought I saw his tail wag, maybe as in “Ha! Made you look!”

Silly dog! (Or is that silly me?)

Ooh, now that’s interesting . . .
