PHOTO OF THE DAY – August 27th

LENSBABY FUN

Sometimes you just have to mix pleasure with business!

I attended a Canon Owners Workshop at Calumet Photographic of Santa Barbara today – more to learn about calibrating my lenses to my cameras. A Canon rep was on hand to walk us through this process and answer any and all questions we may […]

PHOTO OF THE DAY – August 2nd

A simple post today. And a single image. These were a bouquet of flowers on the table of a home I went to visit during the day.

We were actually testing my new camera, the Canon 5D Mark II. This image was shot at ISO 800, f/4.5 at 1/15th sec. As you can see, even […]

White Oleander – hey, at least I know what this plant/flower is!

Not sure I will be using this one for a card for my mother though – just haven’t figured out whether I like it or not.

Have you ever just looked at an image and felt, well, blah ! ? That’s how I […]

PHOTO OF THE DAY – July 14th

Another day, another errand, another street walk in Santa Barbara.

And what do I find of interest? This moped! It looked like I could just hop on and take it for a spin!

This would be the coolest mode of transportation for traveling around Santa Barbara for photography! Except I think I would always be […]

PHOTO OF THE DAY – July 5th

Wow, long post yesterday – just to get to the images! I promise today won’t be so long – mainly because my time is running short.

Today’s post is about dragonflies! Walking outside this this morning to get some fresh air, I was almost dive-bombed by this little guy (yes, it could be a gal, […]

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY

. . . . . to everyone who reads this !

What other images could I post here except fireworks! First allow me to post a composite of a fireworks display I shot in 2007 on Kauai. It was a small private fireworks display that I was fortunate enough to be […]

PHOTO OF THE DAY – June 29th

Today is rather a bittersweet day for me . . .

First, it is my oldest son’s (David) Birthday – and this is cause for a great celebration – he made it to 28! Not that I had any serious doubts about this, but his humor and cynicism and opinions are very clearly stated at […]

PHOTO OF THE DAY – June 28th

I found this hat in a store front window and just had to add it to my collection !

The great thing about photography is that your collections can grow and grow, and you can admire them so easily without ever having to spend a dime!

Unless, of course, you take into consideration time and […]
