Tree Tuesday, Hard Fork, & My Fork
I thought this was a great trifecta tree, covering all three of the above. I have seen lots of forked trees, but very few tri-forked trees. I captured this image last wednesday at the lower Skilak Lake boat launch area in Kenai Alaska, (the boat launch has a name but I forget what it is).
F-stop f/4.5 | exposure time 1/100 sec. | ISO-200
The Drive
It was a nice day today after the last few days of rain, so we went out on a photo hunt to the mountains. We were hoping for some nice reflection shots, but it was just a little bit breezy. The first shot is one from a pullout that they keep cleared in the winter time, so while maybe not the exact same shots if I wanted to do a seasonal post this is a good place to get those pictures.
You can see the grasses are already ushering in the fall season, it is close but not fully upon us just yet. F-stop f/10 | exposure time 1/400 sec. | ISO-200
Here we are at the water, this is from the tern lake Campground one lane bridge. Slightly off to the right of the picture were two gentlemen fishing. There was a nice deck to stand and cast from. This is a pretty nice little campground, that gets missed and by-passed by a lot of people.
F-stop f/10 | exposure time 1/250 sec. | ISO-200
And here is a couple of shots from one of the small lake outlet streams that runs under the one lane bridge. the first one is taken with the camera on full auto and no tripod, (I had to go back and get the tri-pod when my knee was just not up to the task of holding my camera steady enough).
F-stop f/2.8 | exposure time 1/250 sec. | ISO-200
This picture was a fully manual settings shot, I wanted to practice that soft water flow technique that looks so cool. I have to tell you it is hard to get everything in a good focus, my focal point was the branch leaves just under the bridge.
F-stop f/22 | exposure time 1/2 sec. | ISO-200
The sun reflecting off the rocks made it kind of difficult, but still overall I am happy with the way the picture came out.
No I am not sunsetting this account, Just introducing my justincase account
F-stop f/7.1 | exposure time 1/250 sec. | ISO-200 image taken on 8/24/18
Almost forgot, my Camera is a Nikon D7500. I hope you enjoyed my little picture show.
Those photos came out very wonderful @bashadow!!
The plane at sunset and the soft water of that creek
are astoundingly beautiful!
I loved your picture show @bashadow! It's so beautiful there, and the day looked absolutely perfect :)
It was a really nice day yesterday, today was not to bad, we went south to Homer today, since it was not raining.
A great forked tree! Lovely photos. Your soft water shot really turned out nice!
Thank you, You would think resting the camera on your knee would be steady enough, but it wasn't, and I really wanted to practice that a little bit. I should have went to the otherside of the bridge so the sun would not have been so strong, but did not think of it at the time.
Tripods are often the answer. And I'm usually too lazy to go back for it!😃
Fortunately it was a short bridge, not the golden gate bridge.LoL.
Hahaha! The difference between a real photographer and a grandma taking pictures!
Thank you for your contribution to the "pc-nature" tag
