February 20 - An icy snow day

Today was one of those days that happen maybe twice a year in the winter. The "frost" and icicles of the snow stayed all day over the trees and the houses in town. Also, the fog added a very winter feeling to the beauty of this white day.
We went out for breakfast and then to Garden of the Gods and Palmer Park to take pictures.
This was my favorite of the day.

Feb 19 - A Photo friend

I see him every day with his friends at the coffee shop, but today he was all excited he bought a new camera. Caught him kind of off guard, with a shy smile.
Next week, he steps in the SLR digital world, and a new one expects him.
He loves to photograph action and he will probably join the camera club.

February 16 - My true vision

Since I have been using my sweetheart's camera, I am getting used to the different settings.
I switched to black and white in large JPG format in camera this morning, and I visited a friend who has 3 cats.
I took an old camera to her home and I photographed the cats.
Among the 50 images or so I took this morning, all black and white, I found my vision. I know, I know, I always loved black and white, but it felt so good to know I was seeing it again, the way I see, in black and white.
Nothing done to this image, with exception of crop square (why can't Canon make a 10 megapixel square camera that only shoots black and white? - sigh - one can dream...)
My true vision. I just love this picture.

ISO 200
Shutter speed: 1/125
Aperture: f/2.8
