Orchid Bloom in Black and White

Can't have too many photos of orchids! Here is a lovely black and white variation of my favorite flower, shot with the 40mm. And soon there will a new bloom to admire...

Pretty Dried Camellia

I like to make a little natural vignette in the yard; this is a dried camellia with a few green leaves for liveliness. The sun seems to be glowing in the center of the dry flower. I used the 40mm for a nice sharp picture.

Gravensteins

I like all the roundness here, and the colors and patterns. I actually made the ceramic bowl many years ago. The apples are Gravensteins; when I was a girl we had some apple trees of this type. So this simple photo of a bowl of apples has some meaning to me; some connection to my past. And I feel quite satisfied creating this photograph. Canon 70d, 40mm stm lens.

Bobcat with Shasta View

Bobcat with Shasta View,

from my morning walk.
I like this little bobcat as an addition to a landscape photo. Used my (Canon) 70D with the 40mm 2.8 stm lens. The "shorty forty" is small and light  and a great morning walk partner with my camera.

Canon 70d and 40mm 2.8 stm Lens Shooting Grapes

So yay, I got the fancy new camera, and what the heck a tiny lens for video. I am so far very pleased with both the 70d and the Canon 40mm 2.8 stm lens. And because I spent a week with the 7d the 70d has not been all that hard to learn. Also updated my Fine Art America gallery a bit.

For some reason, we have a bumper crop of grapes this season. Perhaps the early hot weather?
Til next time,
Sarah
