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 40, Day 283, February 2, 2010, Cannon Ball

This reminds me of the cannon balls that I saw at the Castle in Rome, Italy. I wonder if this was the inspiration of the architect that designed them.

Lessons Learned:

Arches out of focus make great back drops.
Being addicted to Lost limits my blog posting.

Photo details: Exposure time 1/200 sec, Aperture f/1.8, ISO 100, Focal Length 50 mm, 35 mm equivalent focal length 82mm, Lens Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II, handheld.

James said...: Cool picture and you're right about the arch. I'm looking forward to buying a 50mm lens soon and I plan to watch Lost on dvd someday. :); February 2, 2010 at 11:05 PM
Yolanda said...: Great textures with the ball in the foreground, and stones and arch in the background - love the DoF too. I like how the shapes of the ball and the arch are completely different and how they work in each others space.; February 3, 2010 at 8:12 AM
