I stayed close to home again this weekend, and visited a local bayside park and our local community college for my photo hike. These were my favorite shots of the day.
Sometimes, well more often than not, once I download my photos, I find surprises. Things like sun flares, or little creatures, or odd effects that look like I manipulated the image with photo editing.
‘Left standing’ was my odd photo this week. The wonky Depth of Field was pure chance, or more likely a mistake, but I liked it.






(Photos shot with a Nikon D60, using an 18-55mm, 55-200mm, 20mm f/2.8 wide-angle, 50mm f/1.8 prime lens, Nikon CoolPix S205 and/or iPhone4)

Curling is my favorite for many reasons, some of which you mentioned in the “wonky depth of field” it’s got movement in it! A close second is the rhythm of the bricks in your brick house shot. I like rhythm in things that I shoot, and I enjoy it in others. Nice Tara, have a great Mother’s day!

Lots of variety in these. The leaf on the fence is interesting but yet gone unnoticed. “Left behind to dry” would be my caption for it.

Love how you captured the water mid splash. And how in the world did that leaf get left standing?
