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.

May 4, 2010, Does anybody make Dandelion Wine?

There is a field full of dandelions near our house. A few days ago I photographed with a narrow depth of field, and published it. Today I thought I would go back and try a different approach. I used a narrow fstop to try and photograph more of the field.

I like the effect, but I think the dandelions of a few days ago looked better. They were fresher at that time. I will try and go back when they have all gone to seed to see what that looks like.

Lessons Learned:

I applied a graduated tint to make the sky a little darker. This also made the back of the field a little darker and gave the photo more depth. I wasn't expecting that.

Photo details: Exposure time 1/25 sec, Aperture f/18.0, ISO 100, Focal Length 17 mm, Lens Canon EF 17-40mm, tripod.
