Boise Downtown at night

The weather outside was frightful, but that made the photo delightful. This is down 8th street between the snows flurries. Let’s call it lone shopper.Lone Shopper-1420.jpg Let it snow, etc.

Photo Friday-For the Market

web-.jpgThe Holiday Market starts up Saturday.I’ll be in my usual spot across from the Brick Oven, RAIN or SHINE. Come by and see the new work produced on the new printer. How about a canvas print 3 feet square and the image above 3 feet by 2 feet. Plus 2008 calendars, the prefect gift.

Tuesday-quiet!

Or, maybe I could call it Nada Tuesday> Anyway here is a photo.IMG_1259 capitol web.jpg

Anybody got anything they want to share with the class?

Backwards, really? Oh, yeah, I guess it is!

Been ask, why didn’t you just reverse the sign in Photoshop? The simple answer is the picture is better this way. Taken at dusk, (duh) the sunset over the library was beautiful. Originally I wanted the library sign in the picture, but it didn’t lineup. As the light was rapidly fading I stepped across the street, the lights on the arch came on and I shot this image. By the way, this wasn’t taken with any of my “Pro” Canon camera. My little digital captured this one!

People often tell me “I don’t have the right camera to take good pictures." That is like saying, I can’t write because I don’t have a computer! All it takes is a pencil and a scrap of paper!

Lesson Learned: The first thing you see is not always the best picture. Sometimes seeing "backwards" is looking forward. Tech Stuff: Camera-Panasonic DMZ AKA: The action cam F stop-f3.5 Shutter Speed 1/30 ISO-160

2008 Calendar Photo-February

2008 cal web-feb.jpg 2008 Boise calendar
Morning snow-afternoon sun. A common winter day in Boise. This shot comes from a walk down 9th street. Just above Angell’s patio trees line the street. Their bright red berries must not taste good to the birds. Long after the varmints have gathered all the other berries and nuts these still linger. The stark white of the snow contrasted with the blue sky and the red fruit. However it wasn’t until I noticed the round red shape against the edgy lines of the building that the photo “popped.”

Lesions Learned: Work the angles Watch the weather
