Best wide-angle lens? Two steps backward. Look for the ‘ah-ha’. – Ernst Haas
I’ve had a bug in my ear to purchase a super wide lens for a couple of month, then I read the above quote. Still want one. Hope everyone has a good weekend!

Two Hawks
Buddies I apologize for the quality of this image but it was taken at 300 mm, hand held and cropped. How’s that for excuses? I just pulled off to the side of the road and shot from the car window, across traffic. It’s not very often I see two hawks sharing the same tree or branch, so I had to stop. They alway seem to be a solitary creature. The other reason for posting this image is to demonstrate the affect a telephoto lens has on distant objects, bringing them closer. The mountains in the distance are several miles away. Below is the same group of trees taken from the approximate same location and at 24 mm. Just a bit of difference.

Ate too Much
Moon Setting on a Cold December Morning I’ve been playing more with the HDR software to see what I can do with it. This is one image of three exposures, metered and plus and minus one stop. It is only the layered image then back to Lightroom and a tweaking of contrast and tone. One aspect of this is finding the detail in the moon. Hope everyone had a good Christmas season and ate as much as I did. 🙂

I’m thankful for ….
Todays Thanksgiving Sunrise along the Colorado Front Range I’m thankful for: my health, my family, those who are like family, friends, pumpkin pie, passion, love, joy, peace, serenity, quiet time, second chances, failures, my new wheels, each season, a birds morning song and each sunrise and sunset. I hope and pray everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving!

A Way of Life
Along the Horizon “As far as I am concerned, taking photographs is a  means of understanding which cannot be separated from other means of visual expression. It is a way of shouting, of freeing oneself, not of proving or asserting ones originality. It is a way of life.” Henri Carier-Bresson.Â
The move to Denver has again allowed me to wander the country roads of the Colorado plains. I find my eyes are scanning for a solitary tree or groups of trees, isolated farms or old homesteads, windmills, the distant horizons, all forms and textures of rolling clouds and of course the Rocky Mountains. While out here I’m free of the noisy city. I can listen to the wind make music with the trees along a creek. I can listen to prairie dogs bark their warning calls. I can enjoy the joyful song of the meadow lark. In the heat of the day I can hear the hypnotic sound of the cicadas. I like being here. I like having my camera with me. This is a way of life.

Snow Along the Front Range
Snow Along the Front Range We must protect the forests for our children, grandchildren and children yet to be born. We must protect the forests for those who can’t speak for themselves such as the birds, animals, fish and trees.
