Nature Hike

My husband and I went on a couple different nature hikes this past weekend. I was able to get some pretty awesome scenic photos. That's my opinion at least! There were so many that I liked that I decided to display them in this slide show. I hope you enjoy.

 

 

Most of these were taken just down the street from my home, along the Gallatin River in Belgrade, MT.  A few were taken near a place we call Antelope, where Bill and his paraglider buddies go paragliding. 

 

 

ISO Speed & A Splendid Sunrise!

I have been practicing with my camera this week and learning about the ISO settings.   For those that don't know what ISO means, I will tell you what I have learned so far.  ISO stands for the International Standards Organization.  All photographic films are given a rating known as an ISO number that reflects their relative sensitivity to light.  The higher the number the more sensitive the film is to light.  Films with a higher number and more sensitive to light are faster.  Films with a lower number and less sensitive to light are slower. 

Here are some pictures I captured of the sunrise a few days ago.  All of these pictures were taken at the same time of day but each picture is using a different ISO number.  

These next few were taken about 5 minutes later

Aren't the colors just splendid?  The sunrise on this day was too beautiful not to capture on film. 

Now I'm off for some more studying and practice, practice, practice!

To Brighten My Day!

The ice is slowly melting

Can you see how thick the ice is? 

A Llama!

I love Llama's!

My most favorite thing of all to photgraph.

They are so beautiful!

Look at the Blue Sky!

Love the Blue Sky contrast with the white snowy mountain.

Beauty!

Perfect Mini Rose!

Awe... the birds are back! 

Love the blue of the sky in background

I thought this made a cool picture!

Ice melting off the pond!

You  see where its starting to melt along the shore line.

This just makes me Happy!

Just what I needed this week!  Signs of spring everywhere.  I love it!
