Steve Gallow - A Year in Photos

With this blog I have begun a journey to improve my photography skills. My goal is to take photos everyday, and post my favorite photo from that day on this blog. So far, I have learned a lot, and try to share my experiences. Many of you have made comments on the blog, via email, or when you see me in person. I really appreciate all of them. I learn a lot from each of you. I hope that you will join me in my journey, and help me along the way. I have so much to learn.

Week 6 - Day 36 - June 5, 2009, "Lunch Time"

Today we toured the Magnolia Plantation that include an Auduban Swamp Garden. The Garden was incredible with so many birds. It was difficult to choose which photo to use.
I thought that this was a very special moment in which the child receives dinner from the mother.

Lessons Learned:

Remember to take the piece of equipment that screws on the bottom on the camera, and connects to the top of the tripod. I ended up carrying my tripod, but not using it because I forgot the piece. I hand held the camera for all the photos today.
Taking photos in a moving tram or boat has less than optimum results.

Photo details: Exposure time 1/250, Aperture f/5.6, ISO 400, Focal Length 200 mm, 35 mm equivalent focal length 323mm, Lens Canon 70-200mm f2.8L USM, hand held.
