Week 14 is an all owl week! I visited Radnor Lake on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday – each at around noon. Each day I saw multiple owls! The young owls are often hanging out while the parent is out hunting. I was only able to see the parent on two of those days. I […]

I visited Radnor Lake twice this week. Once on Thursday at lunch and once on Friday after work -which is the first time I’ve been there in the evening since Week 4. The lesson of the week is: CHARGE YOUR BATTERIES! Thursday at lunch, I got out of the car, turned the camera on and […]

A Barred Owl! So I finally got to see an owl at Radnor lake. My first trip to the lake for the week was on Monday morning. The light is so great in the morning – I keep taking these bench shots: I also got this shot of part of the fence that keeps people […]

This week I made two lunch break trips to the lake. I have been so busy at work the last few weeks that it is hard for me to break away. I’m glad that I’m doing this project because it really forces me to make time to get there. After I leave the lake, I’m […]

My 10th week was a very short one. I was traveling for work on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. On Friday, I spent the morning registering my son for Kindergarten! Wow, I can’t believe he’ll be in school! So the only chance I had was Thursday on my lunch break. So I had about 30 to […]

For My Wife

May 13, 2010 /1 Comment/in Shallow Depth of Focus (DOF) /by Malcolm

I got these two shots framed for my wife on our seventh anniversary. The first one was done by using a wide open aperture (2.8) and a long focal length (195 mm) – focusing directly on the passage “With this ring, I thee wed”. The ring was placed so that the light would create a […]

Well I struggled to get anything decent this week. I was only able to visit the lake twice, for 40 minutes on Wednesday and 40 minutes on Thursday. Most of my best shots come when I can get there first thing in the morning – unfortunately, I was not able to do that this week. […]
