Today’s challenge is “Black and White.” I couldn’t resist the opportunity to capture my “black and white” in Black and White. Here’s Lady, snuggled with her watch cap: I added a close up head shot of Lady honing in on the birds chirping outside the parlor window.

Erin has made a great effort, but I suspect she (and anyone else attempting an ID) was hampered by less than ideal pictures of the shrub and the flowers. … Continue reading →
This is a camera settings exercise. I’m not sure how to make it particularly interesting. I chose a compass to illustrate my point, but it’s not particularly enticing. Here goes: There you have it. North. Happy to provide your directional input for the day.
