Week 4 focusing on the best balance

If you don't like the lighting, wait 30 minutes.

This morning at 8:00 it was over cast and grey.  I was setting up to shoot with flat light and went on line to check out some information.  By the time I answered the phone a few times it was going on 9:00 and the skies had cleared.  so today I played around with aperture, shutter speed and ISO to find the best balance between the sky and the front of the tree.

week 3- Too many distractions

Wednesday 10/1/2014 8:47 AM

A busy day around the grand tree- many walkers out, a couple of deer and loads of cars. 

I managed to take a few shots and then the landscape company parked it's truck and trailer directly in front of the tree and unloaded their bobcat.

Later in the  evening the sun was setting behind the tree providing interesting lighting, so I ran out only to find the street lined with cars!
