Macro Chainmaille

Had fun trying macro photography with my lenses today. Here is one picture where I held my 35mm lens backwards to the camera, so that the camera looked through the front of the lens. The rings are 7mm wide in real life.

The Ice Sheet

Went out to take some pictures along a path in Maple Grove, MN and right before I got to the path there was this really cool vertical sheet of ice with tons of small holes and interesting formations. It is a wonder that it didn’t collapse just by a small breeze. Both the shots below are only a very small view of the ice, but the second one gives a good idea of how thin it was.

Morning Sights at Glacier

In 2005 my brother and I visited Glacier National Park in Montana for a second time. We had a few adventures and learned some quality lessons about weather in the mountains during the second week of August. The full story will have to wait till my next post on Glacier!

We woke-up at the Glenn Lake campground and were treated to this:

Mallards at Thompson

There were a lot of Mallards resting around the open water on the frozen Thompson lake when I visited Thompson County Park in West Saint Paul. I had a lot of fun seeing how good – or poor – my camera focused on the moving birds.

Daily Update: MN State Capitol

Went out for a walk to the Minnesota State Capitol during lunch.  It was nice since there were actually clouds in the sky today.  I really should be out there right now as the sun is going down!  I ended up masking out the fuchsia colored flowers in Gimp to keep them as originally taken, since they were already blurred they looked way out of wack after processing in Photomatix.
