Cottonwood Seeds

Cotton on the tree. I have not taken the good lens off my camera yet; it takes such beautiful photos. There are some wide-angle shots I will go back to get later. Reading Scott Kelby's Digital Photography Book 4, he suggests higher sharpening of the raw files and I am trying it.



 Canon gear, t3i+100mm f2.8L macro.

Cottonwood sculpture

 One of the metal sculptures that line our main drag in Cottonwood. I call him "Cal"; don't know if he has another name. There are some "dogies" and a little dog, too. My photography class is going out on an early a.m. shoot on Saturday which I am looking forward to but a little nervous about.
