Photowalking: Cactus and Tropicals

Canon 40D, EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro, 1/40, f/4, 100 mm, ISO 200

I had a great time at this months Photowalk with the Photowalking Utah group (also on Flickr). I spent most of the event with my 100mm Macro on which definitely pushed me to see things differently then when I go around with my 28-135 zoom. I also got to try out my new tripod which was awesome. I wouldn’t have been able to get this shot or several others without it.

I also had some new Lightroom presets that I used on the pictures in post processing which made it go quite fast and I’m very happy with the results.

Frosty Leaves

Frost on some leaves in my front yard. You don’t have to go far to find beautiful shots of nature.

Sharp Frost

Available for Purchase

The last few days there has been a nice fog in Utah Valley in the mornings. This has been leaving a beautiful frost on everything making it white everywhere you look. So this morning I thought I’d venture out and get some shots. Here are a few of some barbed wire I found encased in frost. More frost shots to come in future posts.
