   I got up early, and went out to my favorite lake for an early morning walk; the plans being to capture the sunrise.  As the duck's luck would be, I got out fifteen minutes too late; but being foolish, I started walking anyway.  Along the way i was able to capture this mediocre shot of a Gold finch, also some Grass .  I converted this over to   B/W  (I don't know a thing about B/W.)  So after about two hours of walking and shooting, I get back to the staring point, where I capture this  Rig.  But after shooting this, a couple came up and we started talking about cameras (they were going to jump onto the digital band wagon.)  As I was showing the features of the Oly 520, particularly the live-view, the battery died - just like that.  Thus ended the demonstration.  Turning back to the bike, the person had loaded a replica Eskimo kayak (it would have made a nice human interest story) and was getting ready to take off.  So what I didn't do, was replace the battery and continue shooting.  And now your wondering what the kayak looked like.



 
  • Grass is a really nice catch!

    Batteries suck!

    Now the Kayak is only a fiction of my imagination! ;)

  • I like both the grass shots.  The color is beautiful in the first.  And I like the gradiation of the background in the b&w shot. Too bad about the batteries.

  • two hours of walking and shooting? my knees would have given out long before the batteries! good for you.

    i like the b&w for some reason. it kinda changes the mood from the color version.

    good catch on the goldfinch. i had to look twice to find it there amongst the flowers.

    Grass is spectacular!  B&W is also very good.  Goldfinch is blurry though.
