Month: October 2011

Challenge is an understatement

Posted by Daniel On October 1, 2011

Is all that brown a sign of fall???  Umm…afraid not.  The drought has been really bad.  I wanted to post this pic for those of you that don’t get out of town much.  (Plus I like to go to this area but the feel and beauty of it just doesn’t come out in pictures.)  This picture does not adequately show how bad it is out there.  It came across better in the picture than real life and there are many places much worse than this.  Finding autumn could truly be a challenge this year.

Autumn Challenge 2011 is here! My first picture-the bradford pear tree

Posted by David On October 1, 2011

I decided to start the 2011 challenge with the tree I enjoyed taking pictures of so much last year – the bradford pear in the backyard. I am using this first post as a red/green barometer for how much the tree will change over the next six weeks. So, 30 pictures and 4 “error 99s” later, I got my shot.

  • Aperture: ƒ/5.6
  • Camera: Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XT
  • Focal length: 250mm
  • Shutter speed: 1/250s
