Photos of the Day 03-14-09

I love this photo. . .it's the bud of a plant (the ones that look like grass). I shot it with 58mm macro lens and when I uploaded the photo. . it looked like a bug walking on a tight wire. LOL!

This is another macro shot of the plant. I like this macro shot. It shows the pretty details of the plant down to the fuzzy top.

This is another type of plant. . .again taken in macro.

My assignment was to take photos and show movement. . .sort of blurred and in slow shutter speed but I didn't do very well. I had forgotten how to set in slow shutter speed but it still shows some movement. It shows some parts blurred and others sharp so I'm satisfied with this photo. What do you think? Can you tell that the wind was blowing?

This is just a group shot at my daughter's Key Club bake sale at a bicycling racing event, an invent sponsored by the community

I really like this photo. . the picture is of a medic car for the bicyclist. Can you see the Key club in the background through the window?

This photo was taken in slow shutter speed (I think) but I accomplished what I had set out to do. I wanted to show movement by having the bicyclist blurred and the rest of the image sharp. I just wish that the image of the bicyclist weren't so blurred and there were some form to their image. They were racing right in from of me. . .they were actually moving really fast.

Here are the bicyclist taken as they rode in front of me. In this photo, again they were riding in fast speed but this was taken as a regular photo.

Levitating! Action Shot and Blurred Background Editing

I was playing with my the "action" feature on my camera. I had my daughter jump up and down while the camera took a sequence of shots. I chose this photo to post because it looks like she is levitating in the air. I thought it was such a cool shot. The background in the original photo was actually sharply focused but I didn't like that it didn't really show her with her body floating. I blurred the background using the lasso technique. When I have the time, I'll post the tutorial. . .maybe sometime this week! Although this shot was taken with my daughter actually up in the air, with Photoshop you could probably have a photo like this without the person actually up in the air when the original shot was taken. Now a days, you don't know what shots are actually real or edited.
