“Vaca Mountains and Clouds” by Milmon F Harrison

From County Rd. 89, Winters, CA.

Haven't had a chance to use my wide angle lens in a while, and those clouds were quite fierce-looking, so I had to pull over.

“Sunset Roses” (Week 48/52) by Milmon F Harrison

McKinley Park Memorial Rose Garden. Sacramento, CA, USA

Continuing to practice using the new wide angle lens. It's very different than what I'm used to but opens up some really new possbilities. I was interested in the subtle effects of the fading sunlight on the white roses (and I really like it and the bokeh throught the trees). In hindsight, I wish I'd also taken some shots focused on the distance rather than on the roses and allowed them to be less sharp to point to the trees, sun, and clouds behind. For future reference, I think I'll reverse that to see what I'll get. Gonna try again and compare.

“The Hissing of Summer Lawns” by Milmon F Harrison

I was stopped by this scene last evening (on my way to the pond!). I had to stop and see if I could capture what attracted me. One more of the things that make up the "essence" of summer to me.

Now I gotta listen to the song!

I love summer!

“Big Tree, Little Bench, Curvy Creek”by Milmon F Harrison

UC Davis. Huge tree that I was finally able to capture in its entirety today. Testing out a new wide angle lens.

A 16mm - 35mm wide angle lens is a great landscape photography lens but why do landscape photographers favor the f2.8 version? I mean, when was the last time you took a landscape shot at f2.8? Check out this article.
