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 47, Day 329, March 24, 2010, More Evidence of Spring

We are starting to see new evidence of spring. The snow is almost all gone. Although I we did have some on the ground this morning, but it did melt quickly. The crocus are blooming, and the bees are out. Spring is in the air.

Lessons Learned:

Today was a very busy day, and very little time for photography, but I did catch a few shots on the walk to my car.
I think that my wife and I are starting to see the same things. Both yesterday and today we either talked about or took the same photos. We didn't know the other person was taking similar photos. Happy Birthday Judy.
A 50mm lens with a small focal length can create interesting artifacts in macro-style photography.

Photo details: Exposure time 1/4000 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.

Nicki said...: I haven't seen a crocus yet. Will have to look closer but am sure the bees are going to hide after tonight and with the cold tomorrow.
