  • Office Planet

    [two_third]Photo: I took this panoramic “shot” of our office park while taking a quick break from work. I am not overly satisfied with the result but its a first try… fewer tall objects (buildings/trees) against blue sky seem like the better/right way to go.[/two_third] [one_third_last]How: Photo was taken in M-mode, f11 to retain the same exposure…

  • Pealing Paint Texture

    [two_third]Photo: I am not a huge fan of texture photography, but I decided to try a learn as much as I can so I took this photo of paint on an old train utility building.[/two_third] [one_third_last]How: Photo was taken in A-mode wide open aperture (not because of depth of field but because of shutter speed) at…

  • Golf course in Slavkov

    [two_third]Photo: Is there a better sport than Golf? I am a big fan (albeit distant now for lack of funds/time).

  • Alleyway

    [two_third]Photo: Alleyways make for interesting pictures. This alleyway wasn’t all that grand but I took picture anyway if only to meet my self-imposed one shot per week quota :).[/two_third] [one_third_last]How: Photo was taken in A-mode and selectively desaturated in post-production.[/one_third_last]

  • Beware of the Pup

  • Let there Bee Spring

    [two_third]Photo: I took couple pictures of this cherry tree in our garden while watching our pups. The branches were moving in the wind and the bees were uncooperative as well.[/two_third] [one_third_last]How: Photo was taken in A-mode, wide open. Multiple shots in hopes of catching one with both bee and flowers in focus.[/one_third_last]

I picked up a cone from the ground and put it back into the tree.[/two_third] [one_third_last]How: Taken in A-mode. Simple shot, nothing to it – its unfortunately slightly out of focus.[/one_third_last]
