PHOTOGRAPHY 101 FOREVER, of course.

Following is a bit of miscellany taken between the autumn color shots during the last month.

DOG:

Exposure experiment:

19 Sep 2013.

Overexposed: ISO 640; 55mm; 4 EV; f/4; 1/160.

Better exposure, probably didn’t need EV setting but learning. Overexposed: ISO 640; 55mm; 1 EV; f/4; 1/160.

Just dog:

f/7, hardly a portrait aperture. (Bigger, smaller number, is better I’m told.)

f/20. NOT right for a closeup either. I was shooting mtns. from Dillon Starbucks.

In between landscape shots again, walking near North Pond Park, Silverthorne.

Zoom close enough on the right eye and you can see the photographer kneeling to take the photo. Ain’t photography grand?!

DOVE and DOF (Depth Of Field):

A dove was sitting on the deck rail in Denver for an extended period.  It gave me an opportunity to work with focus, shooting through a glass door however.  Note the jump from f/5.6 to f/14 from the 3rd to 4th picture gives greater DOF, bringing the background trees ‘more’ into focus.  Ain’t it amazin’.

CAW! CAW!

Taking bad pictures of mountains 30 Sep. and a tree full of crows got in the way.

Overexposure is my life. Something to work on.

‘Better’.

Note how much darker the sky is here. 1/800. (Shutter speed misstated in comments.)

Higher shutter speed. 1/800. Almost got a clear shot. (Shutter speed misstated in comments.)

Old Glory came out nicely. 1/1000 speed. (Shutter speed misstated in comments.)

TESLA:

As I was returning from my bike ride 1 Oct. they were finishing a Tesla electric car charging station a 1/4 mile from where I stay in Silverthorne.  8 charging units.  Where do I sign up!

In my dreams.

Next up: FAREWELL TO AUTUMN.  It’s just about over.

Oh, just one more thing:

Time lapses, dawn on Buffalo Mt./ Red Peak.  Taken with Nikon D5200, video assembled in GoPro Studio software.
