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 22, Day 161, October 1, 2009, Fall Pub

Every day when I walk to the bus stop, I wander by this place. (But most days I do not enter.) It's a great place to go. The popcorn is fresh, the beer is awesome, and it's the hang out place for a local famous potter who has a large web presence. Perhaps if you go there you might have a chance to meet him.

The fall colors of the trees around the building are spectacular, and my favorite brick road runs right in front of it.

I hope you enjoy the photo, as much as we enjoy this place.

Lessons Learned:

I don't normally walk down this road, but one of the other riders of the bus told me the colors were really nice from this angle. The lesson is talk to people. They may have great suggestions.
I should have used a higher iso because I didn't have my tripod with me.

Photo details: Exposure time 1/15 sec, Aperture f/8.0, ISO 100, Focal Length 36 mm, 35 mm equivalent focal length 96mm, Lens Canon EF 17-40mm, handheld.

PS At that distance you could probably get away with f/4 and 1/60, but noise and a higher ISO is usually not a problem these days.; October 2, 2009 at 12:33 PM
