February Wallpaper Calendar

Here is the wallpaper calendar for February. I know the month is half over but it's a new idea and I'm just getting up to speed. If you would like a copy for your computer at no charge drop me an e-mail and I'll send you one. There will be a new one every month.

Shot Of The Day

Can You Feel It?

It may be too early to hope but I for one needed this blast of warm air to remind me that spring IS indeed on the way. In a couple more weeks the Maples buds will start to swell. Get out, clean up the yard, (especially if you have a dog), watch the snow piles disappear and enjoy.

A Four Wheel Blind

One of the nice things about major metro areas is the abundance of parks and open spaces. Along with that comes lots and lots of small and not so small winged and furry creatures. Another great thing is they are accustomed to the sights and sounds of cars.

A slow roll through most parks and undeveloped areas can present some interesting opportunities.

If you are a regular to these areas you may even pick up on some patterns or favorite feeding areas for birds and deer. In one area I have people regularly drop off seed and fruit which attracts both deer and birds to an area very near the road.

There is also a sizable deer population in most areas. While they are a but cautious if you know where they hang out and feed and when they are most likely to be about you can get some nice shots without having to get out of your vehicle. Cheating? Maybe. A shot is a shot though and without good composition, lighting and technique it's just a snapshot right.

Project For "Ugly" Days

This is the time of year where I'm getting tired of winter and most of the snow looks old and dirty. I count the days till spring and hope for some new snow to brighten things up. On days when the weather is grey and the snow is dirty I go back through my files and review work that I passed over for what I thought at the time to be my best images. It's nice to find things you may have overlooked or forgotten.
