Back to the nature of things

Still working through files from vacation last month.

Yondota falls. I really wish the rain had held off a little longer here. These falls extend quite a distance with drops and bends. Here I was laying on the rocks using more rocks to support the camera. I'd already stowed the tripod since the rain started up again and it wouldn't have opened low enough anyway.



Jackson B. Frog. There were a good number of these guys. I found them accidentally just as I almost stepped on one. I was heading to take photos of water through a dam and saw something jump. I think it's wishing I was gone.

A couple of close ups from our trip up north. Here two mushrooms I happened to catch in time before destroyed either by feet or time.

A couple from the weekend

I didn't intend both to be black and white but it just turned out that way...

A shot from the Bobaflex set at Taste of Madison event last weekend:


and one from Caroline's Spine:

Ever feel like you are being watched?

Up close on death

Well that's where they get the stuff...

I'm finally starting to get to processing my files from vacation. This was one of many mushrooms I tried to get down to their levels with. I had to lay on the hill and wait for the sun, clouds and trees to cooperate. There is a good bit of softness to the image but it's what I was going for. A shallow depth of field with magnification and grasses in the vicinity that would be out of focus. I did a little sharpening in post but not that much.
