Eagle Park and Drive

     I love spring in Oregon!  This was on a drive up to the top of the mountain with the windows rolled down.  Just imagine, if you can, the spring smell of new grass in evening air with the birds singing as the backdrop for these pictures.

Long Exposure

These are some older shots its taken me awhile to upload.  Since I have trouble with the technical jargon I did some research specifically to my camera and discovered the section where I can leave the exposure open to 15 seconds.  How cool!  So many new possibilities.



Since you need a firm something to set your camera on for long exposure to leave it for a bit, I was happy to take these from inside.  I did do a little experimenting along the road but even if I did use a tripod which I didn't, stopping to take pictures of cars going by is a little, um, weird.  At least I would think so if I was in the car.

These are my first starry night pictures.  Not exactly impressive in and of themselves, but cool for me because they are the first star shots I've gotten.  I love being able to take pictures at night.  This did have some house lighting also, but whatever.  Night!

 

Sick day Blahs



Smudging is fun!
