Weekend Photo Walk and Introduction to Lydia Elko Photography

I was sent a Facebook link by a friend about the photo contest Bubolz Nature Center is holding. So I took Lydia and Nando out to the center on Saturday for a hike and to let Lydia have the camera for a while. For today's lesson I showed her how to change the picture style and change between B&W and color images, and how to change the shutter speed with a fixed aperture. I think she did quite well. Here are a few images from her day of shooting....




Queen Anne's Lace




White Cedar


Shelf Fungus on fallen log

She entered the Shelf fungus on fallen log to the photo contest, and I will be bugging you to go vote for it when it is uploaded into the contest page.


I also brought my camera and here are a few shots of mine on the day...




Twisted Trunk



Another view...


Tall Grass. This grass caught our eye as these "poms" on the top of the stalks were about 12 feet off of the ground.



Tree Roots. I love the contrast here between the snow, moss, and roots...


So, that was our day!!
