1/10 sec, f11, ISO50.
38 mm lens. I have been using one lens a lot to practice taking with a small camera kit for an upcoming vacation.
I used a slow shutter speed to try to smooth out the water. Handheld.

Snowberries. Difficulty getting a good focus. Slight breeze kept moving it slightly but happy with the result of the general softness of the photo interspersed with odd sharp points. Cropped down to approx. 70% of original. Shot with Nikon 105 mm lens.
F/4.2; 1/160 sec.; ISO 400
The photo evokes to me the surface of an alien planet its surface pocked-marked with craters , a river of vapor in the atmosphere streaming across. See photo below to see what it actually is. Cropped down to approx 90% of original shot. Shot with Nikon 105 mm macro lens. F/4.5; 1/125 sec. ISO 160

Ugh! Great shots but I can’t explain why I, normally a bug lover, hate these things!
I asked Sonia, one of the yoga instructors at the studio I go to, if she would be willing to pose for some yoga in an area that isn’t a yoga studio. This is from our session on Oct 9 at Ralph Klein Park.

Fall Colours in the western end of the Fish Creek Valley looking towards the Rockies. I liked how the colour of the school bus brought out the colours of the leaves. Taken just before the weekend snow fall.

Here’s the same view 3 days later.
