Movement

Posted by Mike on August 9, 2013

My original intent was to capture a view of the Niagara River with the wonderfully turbulent flow. I liked the lamp post that just turned on as I was walking toward the falls and thought this would be a nice image. There were too many people enjoying the park that night and my plan for a people free image were dwindling.

But then I thought it would be a better image if I included the people. It was late, getting dark and I would be using close to a 1 second shutter so the blurred movement of the people would go with the movement energy of the river.

At least that was my thought…

On the Pond

Posted by Mike on July 4, 2013

Luckily for me I have great neighbors! Otherwise I would be running out of subjects for my images. One of my neighbors has a pond up behind his house and he told me that the water lilies are in bloom. I finally made it over the other morning, although it was an overcast day, to grab a few pictures.

Of course, I had to run back home since the 17-70mm lens didn’t have enough reach. Up until now I have been happy with 200mm being my longest lens considering I mainly capture landscapes or macros. Those stinking lilies were out in the middle of the pond and quite unwilling for a close-up. Either I need that 400mm lens or the D7100 with the extra 1.3 crop feature… lol!
