Nikon D300 http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-3886-the-emma-look.html Despite this probably being more than a little cliche, at least it's not a field of flowers (heh). http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-3884-weed-central.html http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-3883-fluffy-2.html These modern windmills are becoming part of the landscape here, and you know what? I have no problem with it, in fact. I'm totally for it. Maybe we need to give up a few views so that we don't lose them all. Nikon D300, May 3, 2008. http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-3881-windmill.html Emma, a friend's yellow lab mix pup, moving right along.

Nikon D300, March 26, 2008. http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-3650-sniff-sniff.html Your horse's sheet was ripped in the pasture? I think I know a possibility as to how it happened... In the shots after this one, the other horse proceeds to nip and pull at the chestnut horse's sheet. Nikon D300, March 26, 2008. http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-3649-howd-his-sheet-get-ripped.html His look just captivates me... http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-3648-oh.html This guy was definitely posing for me, the wind just helps the look. http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-3647-hello-take-my-picture.html A pasturemate that was lower in the pecking order was getting too close for this horse to be happy! Nikon D300, March 26, 2008. http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-3646-get-away.html Another barn at sunrise, the one on the other side of Rt. 5 from the barn taken in the image titled "Another Sunrise Barn, Vernon, NY". http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-3645-andanother-barn.html The same concrete structures from the long-gone tannery at Hinckley Lake. Nikon D300, March 2008. http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-3644-frozen-hinckley.html Aged paint on an abandoned Wegman's tractor trailer. Nikon D300, March 2008. http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-3642-aged.html New side of the Prospect cemetary, Prospect, NY. Sony Cybershot DSC-W80, Fall 2007. http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-3640-silent-color.html Another sunrise barn. I'm thinking of doing a series this summer of older barns in the area, and doing research as to their age, who built them, and what type of barns they are (historically). Can't do all of that now - too much school work and other things going on... http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-3638-another-sunrise-barn-vernon-ny.html Another picture of Fluffy, but with a flash and dark background. I'm not sure what the spot is, but cropping it out would mess up the compisition. It's probably just something reflective hidden in the bg. http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-3609-fluff.html I found this rock while hiking with Paul in the Adirondacks...It's a crocodile head! ...the Croc Rock! --->Sony Cybershot DSC-W80, Late Summer 2007 http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-3608-the-croc-rock.html --> Nikon D300, Sigma DC 18-200mm lens. 3/13/08 http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-3607-sunrise-barn-clinton-ny.html --> Nikon D300, Sigma 18-200mm lens, 3/13/08 http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-3606-asher-3.html --> Nikon D300, Sigma DC 18-200mm lens http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-3605-asher-2.html Asher, the barn cat at Infinity Farms, a private horse farm. --> D300, Sigma DC 18-200mm lens. 3/13/08 http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-3604-asher-1.html "Prospect Gorge" Prospect, NY Fall 2007 Sony Cybershot DSC-W80 When they let water out of Hinckley Dam, the water causes a waterfall effect here. http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-3603-prospect-gorge.html Morning sky reflected in the lake. Fall 2007, Cybershot DSC-W80 http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-3602-sky-lake.html Taken after my original piers picture - the water level here is about 1-2' lower than normal, it had risen quie a bit since the last time I'd been there. --> Fall 2007, Cybershot DSC-W80 http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-3601-piers-near-normal.html This is from this past fall - the lake should be almost all the way to the trees. http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-3600-low-lake.html ...and maybe she won't notice! Just noticing that I'm there with this thing that makes noise, she's not a happy deer. lol. Taken on Tuesday, March 11, 2008 with the Nikon D300 http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-3598-walk-away-slowlyvery-slowly.html Okay, not the best photo quality, but here's the deal: the place where I took this shot is NOT safe to get out of your car and set up a tripod, especially not at night. So, I set the D300 to a high ISO so I could at least get the shot. Speaking of the D300...I have to call the company and get a new one. It started doing this thing where I'll be shooting and suddently it will say low battery and then it turns off. I turn the power off and on and it will come back on and show the battery as 3/4 full, and I checked the charge life (both batteries are brand new) and it's full. So, it's not the batteries, it's my camera! It started Friday or Saturday, and is getting worse, happening more and more often and sooner after I start shooting each time. I did go to the local Nikon dealer and talk to them about it, they advised me to call Nikon or the dealer (I'd thought of that, but I wanted to make sure it wasn't something simple I just didn't know about), sooner rather than later. http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-3596-star-struck-landscape.html Fluffy is her name, and it's a good one for her. She's 13 years old, and extremely slender...the fluff covers it up! Here she's sleeping by one of the forced air heat ducts. Taken with the D300. http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-3584-relaxing-by-heat-duct.html Rusty, my boyfriend's family's dog. A former shelter dog, chow/shephard mix. He was jealous of the cat being photographed, so he came over to pose for me. Cropped a little tighter than I'd like, but was needed to exclude an even more distracting background. Couldn't avoid the BG though, this is the best lit place in the house, and there was nowhere else to photograph him at the time. http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-3583-posing.html I realize that this image is probably more than a little cleche, but I just can't seem to get enough of capturing the many colors and contrasts of the morning and evening skies. All I did here was crop out a road. No color or contrast adjustments. You need to see the larger image here to get the full effect. The small one lets the darkness of the woods and field leave out the details, etc. Taken with the D300, Monday, March 10th 2008. http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-3582-morning-sky.html Barbed wire on an old, leaning post in midday sun, partly overcast...with the new D300, edited using Capture NX. http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-3566-rural-angles.html One of the shots from one of my "test" outings with my new D300. I asked for a D80 for my birthday, and a group of people pitched in and actually got me the D300. http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-3541-snow-field.html The same blue heron with his bill/beak open. http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-3133-open-up.html ...See "Blue Heron at Attention". Taken with the DSC-W80. http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-3132-my-latest-model.html I am currently in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, and I'm having the time of my life (there's SO much to photograph here!). I came with my boyfriend and his family to a park near to the place where we're staying, and his grandparents had told us about this blue heron that was always there. I mean ALWAYS - he was in this spot last year, and he's there again this year. He's definately alive, though! I was able to get really close! I will be uploading more today...I might go out and shoot on the beach soon, too! :-D Taken with the DSC-W80. http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-3131-blue-heron-at-attention.html The title is because of the effect this picture had on me. There's something about it that I like, but don't ask me, I'm not sure what it is... http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-3124-intrigue.html This is an older pic that I dug out. Dad was driving, and nope, wouldn't stop. We weren't out for me to be shooting, I just took what opportunities I could from the car window as we passed, thus the motion blur. I did sharpen a good amount, but I don't want to crystallize some pixels, so this is as good as it's probably going to get. http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-3123-hillside.html ...Explains itself? http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-3122-a-lone-duck.html Bruno has that kind of look on his face here. I think I really need to get my hands on some new canine subjects. I know that my two Pugs, Bruno and Tucci, have sooo many expressions, and I don't tire of shooting them as much as it's that I need to do something different. http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-3121-regal.html The piers from a tannery that stood here at least a hundred years ago. This is in Hinkley, NY by the Hinkley Dam. There was such a drought this year that I went up and was able to photograph the piers, the beach, and things that were left behind after the town that stood where the lake is was flattened, the trees cut down, and their stumps partially burned. If I tried to take this picture now that the water level is back up, I would be at least 5 feet underwater. http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-3101-tannery-piers.html Hmm, I know the closer objects are out of focus, but the water and the underwater objects are not. I have to say that I like the effect it has on the overall photograph. http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-3100-yet-another-landscape.html Tucker was out playing in the snow, and on his way in I caught this. It has been tightly cropped from the original and I've messed around with it. I think I may be obsessed with this kind of look, heh. http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-3083-tucker-with-snowface.html This is Jezebelle, my guinea pig. "Jezzie" was a 13th birthday gift to me from my sister, which means that she'll be around 6 years old this coming February. I've started to experiment with editing a little more, I've taken into mind the advice given by the many wonderful commentators. Anyway, I should have more experiments posted tonight. http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-3082-jezebelle.html A broken, twisted tree on a trail to "Cascade Pond" in the Adirondacks. Taken with the Sony DSC-W80. http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-3024-twisted-tree.html A wooden bridge on a trail to "Cascade Pond" in the Adirondacks. http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-3023-wooden-bridge.html Two ducks on Lake George, NY from "Little Harbor Island", just before sunrise. This was just one of those pictures I was so lucky to be there at the right time and get it. http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-3021-paired.html A portrait of one of my Pugs, Bruno. I really enjoy photographing pets, doing portraits. I love to capture their moods, and the essence of their personalities. In this pic, I've tarnished the colors while trying to keep his eyes that gorgeous brown they actually are. I'm not quite there yet, but I still love this pic. Taken with the Photosmart 635. http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-3015-portrait.html I can't help taking pictures of Bubba, he's just so expressive. http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-3006-bubba-yet-again.html Yet another seagull, taken from my kayak.
Taken with the Sony DSC-W80. http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-3004-seagull.html Yet another one from Green Lakes. I really like this one. :) Taken with the Sony DSC-W80 http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-3003-tree-and-leaves-waterside-view.html I braved the stink of seagull poop for this one, heh. Again, it was taken from my kayak at Oneida Lake, with the Sony DSC-W80. http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-3002-seagulls-mostly-standing.html Oneida Lake, NY, from my kyak. Taken with the Sony DSC-W80. http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-3001-seagull-and-rocks.html Sunset! :) http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-2943-sunset-1.html Another Sunset. http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-2942-sunset-3.html Another Sunset. I love how colorful and bright they are. http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-2941-sunset-2.html Bubba again, but in his natural show stance. My sister was in the backgroud and he heard the echo of her voice, which made him stand at attention. Shot taken with the Photosmart 635. I know the leash is distracting, but there was not much I could do about it at the time. http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-2940-bubba.html My friend's yellow lab as a puppy. Taken with the Photosmart 635. http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-2939-tuckered-out.html Wood and stone in the water at Green Lakes. (Taken with DSC-W80) http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-2938-water-wood-and-stone.html I was taking a walk at the Green Lakes State Park and I stumbled upon this. I just saw it and took it! (Taken with the DSC-W80) http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-2937-bee-on-pricker-bush-blossom.html Bruno, my pug, jumping. Bruno gets so into this, he really loves it, though he's really passionate about everything! http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-2936-bruno-over-we-go.html A fallen blossom from a plant nearby. The water just came out of the stem and I happened to notice it, and luckily had my cam with me. I took this with my Photosmart 635. http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-2676-fallen-flower.html Alright, I don't know if this is one of my best shots, but I really like it. The water almost looks like off the shore of some tropical island, but it's actually in upstate NY. That's how it really looks! I also like the contrast between the trees and the water. Anyway, here it is! http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-2675-view-at-green-lakes.html I was walking along a nearby creek, out looking for pictures, when I stumbled upon this piece of broken pottery. I stopped, found a spot, and photographed it just as it was. This photo was taken with my little HP Photosmart 635. For a 2.1 megapixel cam, the thing took really good pictures. Not only that, but it was really easy to use. http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-2673-still-life-broken-pottery-on-shore.html My sister's dog Bubba (English Mastiff) as a 2yo. He's such a big sweetie, and fun to photograph because he's so expressive. I took the photo 2 years ago, and did the editing more recently when I found it looked better sepia or black and white. http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-2672-a-younger-bubba.html http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-2670-saranac-golden.html One of my pugs, Bruno. http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-2668-bruno-jenkins-sepia-portrait.html Digitally edited jpg, original pic also by me. Was just messing around and found a way to do this just with filters. http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/today/p-2667-lavender-gulls.html
