Frivology

I’m heading out here, to Death Valley for a few days for another little photo safari. The last time I went, it was the beginning of June and scorching hot. This time around is a little better planned for the weather, and hopefully we’ll get to see some wildflowers. I just got a killer set of new extension tubes that I’m just dying to try out on something other than the plants outside my apartment door. The second picture above is a preview of what I can do with my new macro goodies.

It’s really great stuff and a ton of fun. I’ll be returning home Sunday night, but likely not really around until Monday. Until then, I’ve added another blogger to Frivology who goes by the name of ‘Articulett’. I met her on the Richard Dawkins forum and I’ll let her introduce herself, but I find her to be absolutely brilliant.

Until Monday!

I’ve been learning how to use my D300 and how to take better shots.  Yesterday, I went for a walk with my camera and left it on manual the whole time.  I’m starting to feel more and more comfortable with my photography, especially with this complex of a camera, and, not surprising, the more I learn the less complex it is.  I’ll be heading to Death Valley in a week and a half for one of my photo vacations, my first with the D300.   Hopefully it’ll turn out well!
