Taking pictures of puppies is HARD. They never stop moving.

The top level of a parking ramp is not where you should be standing in these conditions.

That was totally not worth it. Really. I mean it.

Yes, but this is Wisconsin, so I’m not really surprised. It also rained in my kitchen today, but that’s another story.
This was going to be a wide shot, but I decided to square it off after seeing it in a thumbnail.
Ignore the fact that the picture is crooked for a moment. I’m having difficulty deciding on a crop for this photo. I also don’t know if I prefer color or black and white. I like them all!
By the way, I got guite a few nice shots (including this one) from the Heckrodt shoot. I’m glad I waited a bit to look at them. I feel like I can be more objective when I’ve sort of “forgot” about the pictures for a bit. There will be more incoming.

The weekend was fairly productive. Saturday was a nephew’s birthday party. I took lots of pictures of children. (They like geting their picture taken, who knew?).
Sunday was spent at Heckrodt Wetland Preserve taking more pictures. There wasn’t much color, as nothing has budded yet and there was still snow on the ground there, and there wasn’t much wildlife running about. I did see a hawk gathering sticks for a nest. I think I got some decent shots if you like decay and rot, but I need to go through them first.
Tonight! Maybe.

Let me start by saying, some of my favorite pictures have been taken in the winter. Snow and ice do crazy things and make neat shapes and create a lot of contrast.
Unfortunately, I’ve gotten to the the point where I really don’t want to take another photo of a winter landscape, or a pretty ice formation, or a duck chilling on a frozen whatever, while I’m freezing my butt off and my fingers are going numb.
I want some colors other than blue, brown, black, and white.
I want Spring! Please hurry up, Spring.
Anyway, I’m thinking of hitting up Heckrodt Wetland Preserve this weekend. I’d prefer to go there in the Summer, but hey, it’s not. At the very least it’ll be a nice walk. I also need more practice with the 70-300mm, so it’s a good excuse.

I took my new 70-300mm lens there to see what I could see. I could see quite a lot, unfortunately I don’t know how to take actual photographs with it. Everything ended up blurry or horribly grainy. This is pretty much the only shot that come out. I need to play with my camera settings to try and fix this. It’s a sweet lens, but if I don’t learn how to use it, it’s useless to me.
Anyway, I love 1000 Islands. I saw eagles and many ducks and took many crappy pictures of them.

I missed a opportunity to shoot some hoarfrost this morning. I was able to get this capture though. My parents live out in Wrightstown surrounded by dairy farms and corn fields. This field is right across the street from their house. I’m considering going back out there in the early morning, as my parents say it is very pretty around dawn.
On the other hand, I strongly dislike 6 a.m.
Oh yeah, I started a photoblog for my website. Yay.
