It’s Printing Time Again

by patricia emerson mitchellLeave a Comment on It’s Printing Time Again

Dan and I will be opening our home in May again this year, participating in the Silicon Valley Open Studios weekend. Because of that I need to make some more prints. Funny how suddenly I get so very picky about what I have and can’t decide what would make a good print. Sigh.

That being said (or written anyway), I AM going to print the one below. I showed it at our photography meet up and I think it went over well.

Still Learning

I’m continuing to adjust to using my Canon Mirrorless R. Today I went out for a walk with the camera and my go-to 100mm lens. It’s heavier than the 35mm that I recently purchased, but I am used to it, I like how close I can get, and I just find it more satisfying. I do believe, though, that I need to rethink an acceptable shutter speed. I find I have to trash a lot more photos when I review them.

This image is from today’s walk. I think it will suffice, but had I been using my Rebel it would have been sharper, I’m sure.

First Shot

The last time I used my camera, aside from iPhone shots, was January 4. That’s the longest I’ve gone without doing one thing with a camera for a very long time!  First it was due to a bad foot. Then it was a bad cold. Now I have a bad knee but I was not going to allow that to stop me getting out for at least a short walk. I didn’t do much, but there’s always a first shot.

I can’t imagine doing anything big with this image, but I’m delighted that I got out, and this was a lovely plant. And of course a first shot is a first shot! I do hope I’ve identified it correctly.

Welcome!

I’ve had extra visitors at this site these past few days, and I suspect it’s because I posted a few photos on a local Facebook page.

So welcome … and I hope you visit again! Please feel free to follow the site if you are so inclined.

For now have this image of Euphorbia, again from our very own neighborhood. I find this plant amazing.
