The Forgotten and Neglected

Posted by Mike on

What a week! I took the day off last Monday and spent most of it with my daughter who was home sick with a stomach flu. Worked the next day but caught the bug myself and spent Wednesday home from work. Spent the next two days getting caught up and then ended up working the weekend due to issues. None of that left much time for exploring with the camera.

I finally went for a walk after lunch today hoping to get some images before the “Storm of all storms – Sandy” rolls into the northeast. It was good just to get out and go for a walk but I did manage to come home with a few images. These two are from one of the apple trees in the field across the road from my house.

The End of Summer

Posted by Mike on

Over on Scott Thomas’s Blog – Views Infinitum, his bi-monthly photo assignment was about portraying the end of summer. There was plenty of time for me to organize a nice post showing my view but for whatever reason I never managed to create the post (or finish capturing the images I wanted). The following two pictures were going to be part of my view…

Red Leaf
Nikon D5100, Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4, 1/400s, 62mm, f/5.6, ISO 100


Yellow Leaf
Nikon D5100, Nikkor 55-200mm f/4-5.6, 1/1250s, 200mm, f/8, ISO 400
