Groundscape Pattern

1/125s, f/7.1, ISO 160,  57 mm, tripod.

Natural branch pattern in high contrast with snow.

Abbey

1/50S, f/4.5, ISO 160, spot metering, flash 0EV, Auto WB.  Abbey is becoming a willing phto subject.

Same meta data as above. 

Almost Full Moon

8.8 seconds, f/16.0, ISO 160, 71 mm, AWB, spot focus, tripod.  This is practice for shooting the moon.  The blue and green half-orbs are refracted moonlight inside the lens. 

My Afternoon

Beach Walk on a gray day; reflection.  1/125s, ISO 160, f/4.8, tripod, 72 mm. 

Oily reflection.  Cloudy with filtered daylight and the water surface is that thick kind of water experienced during the winter.  The rigging and boat hull lines are pleasantly distorted in the soft water movement.  1/160s, f/5.0, ISO 160, tripod, AWB. 

I picked this arrangment of brightly colored objects for a sense of unity in round shapes, confusion with many other repeated shapes, contrast of linearity and grayness of the dock planks.  This was the only color on an otherwise grey day.  1/200s, f/5.6, ISO 160, and color-amp with PS.
