52 photographs - Week 44

Most of the time I photograph the moon I use a telephoto lens to get as large as an image of the moon as I can.

However there are times when a wide angle lens does the job. And this was one of those times.

52 Photographs - Week 43

There is nothing like a nice early morning paddle on the Catawba River in late October.

52 Photographs - Week 42

I almost did not choose this photograph. But after thinking about it for some time, I made a last second switch.

As someone commented on one of the posts I made with this photograph “It looks like fireworks.” And so it does.

“Tri-X, f/8, and be there.“

52 Photographs - Week 41

The fall color has started to appear. And with it comes the return of the heron at Manchester Meadows Park.

I couldn’t resist this photograph of the heron with the fall color in the background and the mist rising off of the pond.

“Tri-X, f/8, and be there.“

52 Photographs - Week 40

Another difficult choice this week, but this photograph of a Song Sparrow at Manchester Meadows Park was my favorite of the week.

“Tri-X, f/8, and be there.“

52 Photographs - Week 39

It was a very light week photography wise. We had several days of rain which curtailed my desire to go to shoot. But by Saturday the rain finally stopped.

This is one of the most unusual photographs I’ve taken and could end up being the most unusual of the year.

This has a sort of cosmic look to it. One person has suggested it looks like a planet floating in cosmic dust.

“Tri-X, f/8, and be there.“

52 Photographs - Week 38

Went back to the Rock Hill Velodrome this week and again I apparently went at the wrong time or during the wrong event. Not much action. 

But I did get this photograph using a slow shutter speed and panning with the subject. I really need to practice this more.
