Harold Ducks and Junk


I was working on shutter-speed priority and used 1/250 to freeze the movement of the water and birds. The camera selected F4.9, which left me with an adequate depth of field. The ISO was set to 160. This was shot with a Canon S90 point-and-shoot and cropped later in Photoshop.

I like the contrast in colors and texture between the birds and the junk in the wate.

Evelyn - and the wheel turns round & round...

This image was taken at Lakefair at 9:30pm. I didn't really have an absolute "favorite shot" this week, but this is the closest. What I like best about the photo is the lighting - with the high ISO, the sky color was a deep blue in contrast to the colorful wheel. My disappointment is that the shot is a little boring, so I took the picture at a different angle. I think the color draws some interest to the photo; also since the bottom is brighter because of the overhead lights, you can see the people in line. Because of the light changes due to approaching darkness, I was practicing more with ISO than metering. I just noticed the moon in the background - cool!
