Depth of Field


One huge advantage DSLRs have over point and shoots is the ability to control the depth of field. (P&S cameras can be controlled to some extent, but not nearly as well). Here are two photos of the same thing that show the difference. One draws your attention to the leaves in the foreground, while the other focuses on the fountain in the background. Couldn't decide which way I liked best, so I thought I'd do a side-by-side to show the difference.

Signs of Spring


Depsite there being snow on the ground this morning, there is some green out.

Sights around Ashland





Just some random shots I snapped while driving through town the other day.

Master Chief


One of the benefits of having a 6-year-old son...cool toys. Here's Halo's Master Chief with some photoshop work.

Snowy morning


Barn that sits at the entrance to my subdivision. Shot with the new Fuji Finepix F300 ...so far I've been happy with the little P&S camera.

Blazer Pool


Got a new camera recently, the Fuji FinePix F300 EXR, so I hope to start posting more often. After I've had time to use it some more, I'll post a review of it as well. One neat thing it does is creates on-the-fly panoramas by just clicking the shutter and panning the camera. Here's one photo that I tested it out with.

Macro Fun



Playing with my extension tubes for macro shots paired with my 50mm f/1.8 lens. These are of a glass paperweight ball with the suspended bubbles in the middle backlit by a lighted snowman that changes color.

Moonrise


Shot this a couple weeks ago, but kinda forgot about it and just pulled it off the memory card. It's the same scene as the iPhone pic in the previous post, but I dragged out the good camera for this one.
