A hawk, on top of a streetlight down near
the park I usually bike at. I wish I had backed the zoom
out a bit to get the streetlight itself in, or zoomed in closer
to cut it out entirely, maybe focusing on it's head and only it's
head.

A little tiny waterfall. I had a 1.5
or 2 second exposure on it so the water blurred out, I have seen
that effect on a lot of waterfall pics and I've always liked it.

You'd think this place was a church, right?
It used to be, and may still be in use as a church but actually
it's a UC conference room in the middle of nowhere on the 395.
Just an interesting landmark that really stands out. Unfortunately,
the picture is a bit crooked... I need to find a way to prevent
that from happening so damn often.

In honor of my new personal hero Mr. Bush who wants to return us to the moon..
and beyond. Here is our very own moon. I'd like to
get into some astrophotography, somehow hook up the camera to
a telescope and go to town. I don't really know how to photograph
the moon, maybe if I could get it to some tricks or something
it would look different than the 45,376,156,588,358.7 other pictures
people have already taken of it. |

After snowstorm in Salt Lake City, Utah.
I liked the tire tracks, the sky and the tree framing it all.
I think if I had used the polarizer the sky would have come out
much bluer, and the picture better overall. Good to know
for next time. |

I really dig this one. It's hard to
tell what it is, sun or moon and I like that. If you have
an idea what it is, and why please let me know. I'm going
to have to continue working on this overall effect. |

Temple square, SLC. I think the composition
itself turned out well, it seems to be balanced, the lighting
seems to be accurate and overall it looks pretty good to me.
What do you think? |
 |
| There was a very slight rainbow around the sun this day that I
was trying to get to show up. I threw on the polarizer for
this shot and had it at the lowest 'setting' and it's still barely
visible. I should have underexposed it a bit more I think. |
 |
| River, under snow. Think cold thoughts when you look at
this one. |
 |
| I like the long, slender shadows from the dead trees. It
just looks and feels very lonely to me, which is something like
what I was trying to capture with this shot. |

Here is one I really like the composition
of, it's a Joshua tree (do any of you clowns have trees named
after you?) with San Jacinto in the background. If I would
have been a bit closer to the tree, so it would stand out more
and used a tripod to get in a smaller aperature for more DOF it
would have been stellar, maybe a bit earlier in the morning too,
or later in the afternoon when the light would be less harsh.
Since I liked it so much I didn't downsize the dimensions/quality
as much as I usually do, so if you're on dialup... it may take
a bit longer than usual to load, sorry, but I hope you'll agree
it's worth it. |
