Geese, oh my gosh, Geese!
28. February 2009 by David.
I was driving around and ended up at the Merced Wildlife Refuge again. There were hardly any ducks where I usually stop to photograph sunsets and the sky was pretty grey. I had changed my focus and was looking for flowers or other close up items when I came across a field filled with geese. They were just milling around nothing much was happening when I spotted some toad stools and decided to photograph them. With wet knees I headed back to my truck, as I opened the door I turned around and saw this. I couldn’t change my lens fast enough. As I’ve said before. Widen your horizens, opportunities happen all the time. While this is not the best photo I’ve ever taken, being in the presence of this spectacular show was amazing.
Within 5 minutes the geese had moved to the center of the refuge and out of camera range.
Keep LOOKING!

Spring flowers inspire
26. February 2009 by Friedhelm.
These flowers were photographed in a front-yard around my house. Since there were cars in the background I used my reflector as a background. After I developed them I decided to take them a step further and played with the filters in Photoshop. This is the result!
Enjoy and happy shooting!

Fireball
25. February 2009 by Friedhelm.
Sunsets are always amazing especially in central California. In order to get the best possible color range I took my raw photograph and created three different tif files, one underexposed (-2), one normal exposed and one overexposed (+2). Out of the three tif files I created a 32 bit image which contains a much wider tonal range than a standard image file. The 32 bit hdr file had to undergo a second editing process to bring out the best possible range of colors for this image.
If you would like to know more about hdr imaging, join us for the next Photo Club meeting in Chowchilla. Go to www.passionforphotos.com

Flower Power
24. February 2009 by Friedhelm.
A simple white background is a tremendous help for flower photography. I used a simple white board that you can purchase for a few dollars at Michaels or Staples.
Enjoy!

Tree in the Valley
23. February 2009 by Friedhelm.
Spring is my favorite time. The landscape and vegetation in the San Joaquin Valley is absolutely fantastic. The mountains in the background provide a wonderful contrast.
Happy seeing and photographing

Storm in Yosemite
22. February 2009 by Friedhelm.
Yosemite is fascinating at every time of the year. I love clouds over Half Dome. Sometimes I have to wait a while before the light is just right or I have to edit and re-edit until I get what I want.
Enjoy and happy photographing!

Finally a bee!
21. February 2009 by David.
I have taken a lot of ‘bee’ photographs, most ending up throw aways. Since bees seldom sit on a flower for long, they present a lot of difficulties, you have to have a quick focus and reflexes.
On this one I used a moderate aperture setting of 5.6 which kept both the flower and bee in focus while blurring the background. There were a lot of bees about these flowers so I waited semi-patiently watching just a few flowers hoping one would land and I’d be ready.

Mist, trees and Yosemite
21. February 2009 by David.
I was hoping to go to Yosemite this weekend but as luck would have it we had wonderful weather during the week but the day I can go up there it is supposed to be raining most of the day. So I thought I’d share one of the pictures I took a couple of months ago. I took a LOT so you may be seeing some more in the future.
