Autumn

f/8 @ 1/60 ay ISO 200

This photograph was taken at Dan Nicholas Park in Rowan County, N.C. on a beautiful Saturday afternoon in October.  Autumn colors are so amazing I hate to see the leaves begin to fall.  

This image was captured with a Nikon D300 and Nikkor 45 mm PC lens with minimal movements. 

Ginkgo

f/8 @ 1/30 at ISO 200

For our object lighting class we were given the assignment to photograph a pharmaceutical drug or herbal remedy and I chose Ginkgo Biloba.  Ginkgo is known for its ability to enhance memory, concentration and blood circulation.

This image was captured with a Nikon D300 and Nikkor 18-70 mm lens at a focal length of 60 mm. 

Self Portrait

f/19 @ 1/125 at ISO 200

I have to say it was quite a challenge photographing myself.  I tried it for a while with the self timer set for 20 seconds but that just did not work.  Jason stepped in and pushed the shutter release for me so now he thinks he's a photographer, bless his heart.

I photographed this with a Nikon D300 and Nikkor 18-70 mm lens.  The light source was a single Alien Bee at a slight angle however mostly bounced off of a white ceiling

Fig Leaf

f/4 @ 1/250 at ISO 500

Afternoon light this time of year is so beautiful. 

This image was captured with a Nikon D300 equipped with a  Nikkor PC-E Micro 45 mm lens.

Claudiah

 f/2.8 @ 1/250 at ISO of 250

Claudiah is a energetic young lady who loves her picture taken and just so happens to be my cousin.  We planned this photo shoot so she could send some pictures to her Granny who lives in Texas.

I photographed her in front of a window that had a large scrim placed in front of it.  I used a Nikon D300 and a 17-35mm 2.8 Nikkor lens.
