Plateau Morning Glory

Because of the narrow leaves, I’m venturing a guess this is Plateau Morning Glory. I’ve been calling it Texas Bindweed but according to SEInet, that’s a smaller darker pink flower which I also photographed last week in Rackensack Canyon. I love that place! Anyway…when the sun is really bright and almost overhead, try shooting at a very wide aperture. It does something nice to the strong light. For this image, I shot with a Canon 70-200 IS at f/2.8. The ISO was at 200 so my shutterspeed was 1/3200 of a second. Plenty fast enough to negate any camera movement.

I Love Snowmen

So far you know I love Santas and Cyclists but I really love Snowmen! I have ones made of cloth, wood, crystal, fabric and more. This little sparkley guy is one of my favorites. He’s part angel with a pinch of devil. Shot with a Lensbaby. Not only can you isolate your subject in the sweet spot but these lenses bend light. This is great in extreme highlight situations but when you use one of the creative aperture disks on specular highlights, you get especially pretty Bokeh.
