Building the plane

Happy 2010!
Using a new camera is like trying to reign in a wild horse. I'm re-learning what I thought I already knew... slowly. I'm trying not to get frustrated. The plan is that every week I will ipck a new feature of this camera and work it to death. That should do it! These were shot with a Canon 7D, with 18-55mm and 50mm f/1.8 lenses. I worked in aperture priority and tinkered with the ISO to see what it could do. Trying to get my skills back isn't easy, but for Christmas I got a great book to help me. And giving myself assignments like these sure helps.

Who gave it to you?

Natural.

I'm into shooting plants these days. I love the field behind the old Quig's Orchard.





I bet a coyote grabbed this goose. The trail of feathers stretches 10 feet at least.
