This photo was shot on a hiking trail (Angel’s Rest) in Columbia Gorge. I spotted this very small spider on the flowers trying to weave a web (look carefully you can see it too in the photo). Shot with Nikon Coolpix 4500 point-and-shoot camera. July 2003.
Macro Mode. Matrix Metering
I like to shoot macro shots of flowers. Flowers with bright intense colors look very nice. This photo is interesting because the angle is different. Instead of the usual practice of shooting flower photos from top looking down, I put the camera below the flower “looking” up towards the sky. Shot with Nikon Coolpix 4500 point-and-shoot camera. This camera had a swivel back panel so I could compose the photo when the camera was held low near the ground looking up. July 2003.
Program Auto mode. Center-weighted metering.
This natural tower is in Yellowstone National Park near the Mammoth Hot Springs. Strange structure. Shot with Canon EOS Elan IIE and Sigma 28-80mm lens. July 2002.
Butchart Gardens, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Summer 2000. Shot with a film camera Canon EOS Elan IIE with a cheap Sigma 28-80mm Macro lens and Kodak Max 400 film.
Summer 2008. Vancouver, BC. A photo taken at sunset, from the SeaBus. You can see silhouette of the South Vancouver with prominent landmarks like the Vancouver Lookout. The shiny building in the foreground is Canada Place. This photo was taken from inside a glass window and there was some reflection of the inside lights that I have tried to remove but if you look carefully you’ll see that I’ve not completely succeeded.
Exposure Compensation: -0.7
