#13 - Still Life

Vino & Fruit - Outdoors
50mm lens

Vino & Fruit - Indoors
50mm lens

This was much harder than I thought, and I know I didn't put enough time into it,
but it was so frustrating!  And the more wine I drank, the less I cared!

#12 Food

This makes me laugh every time I look at it, and this is the best of about 20 shots,
 and I won't even post the others they are so dismal!  
Who knew this would be such a hard assignment!!

#8 End of Summer

Ah, another beautiful Michigan summer coming to an end.  Here are a few things that remind me of the end of summer.

                             Juicy Michigan grown tomatoes are enjoyed at the end of summer.

Lens 17-50mm - 21mm / F4.5 / SS 1/80 / ISO 200
 
 

An empty beach at the end of summer. It was drizzling when I was there and it was so quiet,
I sat on the picnic table with my umbrella and just took the whole scene in for a few minutes.
Lens 18-200mm - 18mm / F10 / SS1/250 / ISO 200
 
 
Wearing warmer clothes to golf at the end of summer.




Lens 17-50mm - 25mm / F4.5 / SS1/80 / ISO 200
 
 
The marina was full with boats getting winterized at the end of summer.

Lens 17-50mm - 28mm / F4.5 / SS 1/500 / ISO 200
 
 
The last geranium bud on the deck at the end of summer.

Interesting concept - take off your 50mm lens and turn it
around and hand hold it in place to take a pic.
It has a very shallow depth of field.
No readings since the lens wasn't connected to the camera.

#7 Church Doors (9/12/13)

Okay, I admit I got caught up in the beauty of church doors and started scouting around downtown Ann Arbor, and Dexter (Chelsea had no pretty church doors, can you believe it?).


St Joseph Catholic Church, Dexter, MI

 
 
 
St Andrew Episcopal Church, Ann Arbor
 
 
 
St. Andrew's bell tower - it was so unique and endearing
 
 
 
 
St Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church, Ann Arbor
 
 
 
 
St Paul Lutheran, Ann Arbor

 
 
 
and let us not forget the road less traveled leads to...
