On a roll

Same place, just a little ways down from the previous shot. Also handheld. Probably used up all my luck for handheld shots on these three. That's ok, it was worth it.

Yup, also handheld

Normally I could never pull off hanheld shots, but two in a row! Anyway, taken from a small waterfall area in West Virginia. Still film, still the 17-35mm lens.

Watch Me Soar

This moth was attached to the screen door of the place I was staying in over the weekend. I didn't think this would turn out, as I was handholding a macro lens, but I'm very pleased with it.

Macro

Little bit of macro photography. Afternoon sun glinting off melting snow. I'm learning to shoot without a tripod, trying to get a more fluid look to my images.

I bought a tripod for several reasons, not least of which is my hands shake slightly when holding heavy things, like lenses and all metal cameras.

But there are ways to minimize this effect and it allows me to be more spontaneous wiht my photography, like here.
