This was taken in the Old Prison Museum in Deerlodge,MT. I really liked the composition of this shot but was a bit concerned with how diffused the light would be since it was shot through an office glass window from the hallway area and naturally light from a window behind and above to the left.....lots of glass to shoot through but it all turned out OK. This was shot with Canon 50D camera and Sigma 18-250mm DC OS HSM lens, f/5 ISO-400 for 1/200 sec at 50mm focal length and auto white balance, shot off hand.

Fence Posts

I took the opportunity to borrow a friends idea for shot themes and snap some fence posts while out scouting hiking areas. The weathered timber and rusted barbed wire begs to be captured in B&W. I shot these in color then converted to B&W in post editing. Both were taken with Canon 50D camera. On the close up I used a Sigma 70mm macro lens, f/14, ISO-100 for 1/320 sec exposure and sunlight white balance setting. For the tall twisted post I used Sigma 18-250mm DC OS HSM lens, f/14, ISO-100 for 1/160 sec exposure and sunlight white balance.

ICE

I captured these frozen fog crystals on a brush by the house. I shot these with Canon 50D and Sigma 70mm Macro lens. ISO-100, f/5.6 for 1/400 sec, 70mm focal length.

Color

I love the color quality of my Canon 50D with Sigma 18-250mm DC OS lens. This is a shot of some material Tina is cutting for a quilt. This was shot ISO-400 at f/5 for 1/60 sec and 63mm focal length. Built in flash was used for this shot because I was to lazy to set up the tripod for a non-flash steady shot in the dim light.

Another early morning frost crystal covered tree. I snapped this one on the way to work with my Kodak Z712 IS point and shoot. ISO-64, f/3.2for 1/800 sec at 13mm focal length.

Frosty

The recent freezing fog storms have left everything covered in crystals. This is the tree in our front yard! Taken using Canon 50D camera with Sigma 18-250mm DC OS HSM lens. ISO-640, f/22 with 1/500 shutter speed and focal length of 120mm.

Macro work

Snowed in today so it was the perfect chance to play with my Sigma 70mm MACRO lens.
