POV Look at those spring shoots up there!
If you feel like being dizzy then just look up at the trees. Or you could lay flat on the ground.
I also like the same effect you get using a wide angle lens of tall buildings. But not too many of them around here. Wish I'd tried more when I was in New York.
POV Look up to a tree today
I love trees and I love this POV of trees. It makes me want to hug them. I keep searching for the perfect hugatree shot.
I prefer to have a long depth of focus which means combining two shots. I did that with this one but still I think I really need to combine more than two shots when you are up so close to the bark. So, maybe next time, I will try that. But it is impossible to get a tripod into the right position (I think) but havn't tried so usually when I combine them they are a bit out of sync.

Theme for April 2, 2007: Season, Family
Our theme for today is season, family, personal and special. Spring! See pictures below! YAY SPRING!!!
Season: First Sailboats on Lake St. Clair
Neither of these is the greatest photo, but I was so thrilled to see the first sailboats out on Lake St. Clair when just 2 weeks ago it was frozen. The contrast is amazing!

Theme for March 26, 2007: FRAMING
March 26: "Framing:" Use of negative space, close framing, using framing as a visual tool to enhance the photo, also could include: macro, micro, midrange and wide angle. The things I want to look for is how to BEST frame a picture to startle, communicate, engage, please the viewer. Look for SPECIAL, DIFFERENT ways to frame something. Cropping is an acceptable tool, but work with in-camera framing if possible.
Framing: HUH?
Sorry Ladies to gross you out! I found this. Really!On the wastebeds, near the old cars, above the State Fair parking lot, on the slag cliffs.
Really.
It's a rubber mask, very lightweight, and next time I go back if it's still there, I hope to put it in a plastic bag and take to the Heidelberg Project.It's not something I personally have a lot of use for, but I found it interesting.
I have to hurry, before the nettles get too deep and it gets too hot to walk on the wastebeds.
Small murphyism: The phone didn’t ring all day. But when I was filling shampoo bottles for my upcoming trip and a big blurpo came out all over my hand and the bottle, the phone rang. Of course. Murphy.
click to view image (by me) bigger. I tried multiple ways to frame this and settled on this one. It's a hard subject to frame well--or photograph well, for that matter. OK, sorry! LOL!
Framing: Four different shots with Framing
Somehow an extra picture accidentally uploaded when I tried to upload my four framing shots--can you guess which one? Four were intentional shots for framing and one just fell in somehow.
I took lots more of flowers and other things and if I have time I will add them at Yahoo Photique. Sorry about the extra one, it was totally fortuitous.
The flower is a banana flower.

Got a nut for me? Photo by Mary Stebbins Taitt.I forgot about resizing them--what size works best?
Winter Critters: Two deer at Metrobeach
I took a ton and a half of these, too! LOL! May post more over at Yahoo Photique if I have time.
Winter Critters: Two Geese on pond at Metrobeach
I took a TON of pictures of these geese, and I may add more here or at Yahoo Photique if I have time. (I thought they were so graceful looking and loved the shadows.)
