A Few From Sunday Afternoon at the Lake!

I have been blessed to live near a beautiful man made lake for several years, I have spent time photographing the areas around the lake but not the wildlife so much. I decided to change that and have a little fun with a lens I don't use much. A Sigma APO 300mm F4 TeleMacro that was given to me awhile ago. Not sure why I don't use it more.....

Here are my keepers, nothing fantastic, but fun to shoot. I really like the expression and look on the gull in the second shot.

I think I may title this one "Touchdown!"

This abstract shot of some wind sculpted ice really works for me. The color is reflected sky.

Late Evening Light

I sometimes think to myself, that God made me for Sunsets & Sunrises, and Sunrises & Sunsets for me. For some reason the beginning and the end of the day just inspire me. Make me want to stop and reflect. 

Watching the clouds over the mountains in the evening light as I wait for the sunset to develop is a favorite way for me to pass the time. Well worth it don't you think?

Technical notes, this is a 15 shot panorama taken in portrait orientation with my DFA 100mm f2.8 WR Macro lens. Yeah I could print this thing big too...
