Prickly

Stuck for a photo this morning so here’s a photo I took a few months ago. I shook my camera at a Prickly Pear cactus and thought the result was pretty cool!

Aspen Corner

There are several photo-worthy and easy trails right off Snowbowl Road including Aspen Corner. Not too many wildflowers right now so I opted to play with light and the trees by moving my camera during exposure.

Oak Creek Impression

Oak Creek captured hand held with slight intentional camera movement. A cloudy day contributed the slow shutter speed. ISO 100, 1/5th sec at f/32.

Liquid Sunset

There was just a sliver of sunset left by the time I was finally motivated to capture it. I decided to move my camera during exposure and I ended up with a liquid sunset.

Saguaro Blur

I haven’t shaken my camera yet this month so here’s a blurry shot of a Saguaro. I used Singh-Ray’s Vari-ND to get a slow shutterspeed. It’s a pricey filter but if you like smooth waterfalls or photos like this Saguaro, it’s invaluable.

Happy New Year

HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL!

McCormick Railroad Park

We checked out McCormick Railroad Park for the first time this past Saturday night and found out what the big deal was! First…it’s a must for anyone with children or if you are a child at heart. For me, it was a chance to see their elaborate light displays. Thomas the Train (upper right) greeted us at the entrance and it just got better from there. Fun, fun 🙂

Shaken and Stirred

We went to Luminaria at the Desert Botanical Garden a couple of nights ago. Gotta hear the bell ringers to officially get into the holiday spirit! I had a little fun with their tree by shaking and stirring my camera while taking the photos. You can probably guess which way I was moving my camera by the shape and direction of the streaks. Fun stuff 🙂
