Lazy Pasture

I found this lazy pasture scene in GA when I was out driving a week ago on October 9. I was using the sport mode because I was taking shots of different farm animals and animals move unpredictably. I was just sitting in my car snapping the pictures and enjoying the country scenes. I cut this photo a little to focus in on the tree, horse and pony.

Sunlight Colors

Yesterday I had fun walking around the yard with the dog enjoying the different fall changes there. The sumac tree in the backyard was blazing! I left my camera on the landscape mode to snap this photo. The sunlight through the leaves is truly a sight to see!

10-07 Mushroom

  My dad, the dog, and I were out for a short walk one evening last week and we came across these fat mushrooms. “You ought to take some pictures of those,” Dad suggested.
  After taking a second look I agreed! So the next day I took the dog out the same way and brought my camera along. It was in mid-afternoon and the sun was still high in the sky so I didn’t know if the white mushrooms would just wash out in a photo depending on the angle. I put the camera on the close-up mode and took pictures from several angles. Eventually, I thought backlight would be best and as soon as I came to this angle I knew I would have a good shot! Sure enough! This is a keeper!

My Camera

Now, it is obvious that the camera plays a big part in taking great photos. There are many top of the line cameras that I would love to have. I would love to have an exceptional telephoto lens. At this time in my life, though, I have decided I should not spend big bucks on cameras. Someday I probably will upgrade, yet the camera I now use is one I highly recommend! It is the Nikon Coolpix L3. I have used other cameras of a similar price, but I really like my Nikon! It is a super camera!! I am very pleased with the quality of photography that this camera can produce. The photos you will find on this blog in the coming days are from my Nikon Coolpix unless I otherwise note.
