Summer Flowers !

I love summer time photography ! In the summer time it seems like there's always something to get a picture of . All the light, the colors, the shapes, both in nature, and man made structures. Everything just seems to pop in the summer time.

Some blue flowers photographed in a Japanese style garden. I like the light and color in this image. One of the first images I've taken that I'm really happy with.

Graffiti In The Train Yard.

A picture of some graffiti in the train yard. I like the way this one came out. I used Gimp for the editing, but only resized the image, and adjusted the brightness and contrast. I probably should of used this photo for the brightness and contrast tutorial I wrote, because when I adjusted the contrast, it really brought out the colors in the graffiti, and also the rust on the train cars.

The Crow

I went out and took some pictures today. I snapped this and was really happy with how it came out. I've been playing around with my aperture, and still really don't understand what I'm doing. Every picture I took , I took with a high aperture and a low aperture, and somewhere in the middle. Except this bird. He was just flying by, I have no clue what my aperture was set at, and discovered this when I got home. I've got about four shots of him in various forms of flight and they all came out like this.
