Mowing the Yard????

[Old Timer]

I went home yesterday from work with very good intensions. It was time to mow the yard. I went out back and Joy mentioned that there was some pretty good light, "didn't I want to take some pictures?". It least that's the way I choose to remeber it. At any rate I grabed the D70 and preceded to document the ongoing saga of the back yard. My little world is pretty limited, but it seems there is always something going on. Here are a few of my images from yesterday evening. Oh and yes I did get the yard mowed before the sun went down. Don't you just love daylight savings time.

Wow!!

I can't stop looking at those photos! They're truly fabulous!!

I'm so impressed. Weren't you scared of the wasps / huge bees?

I'm considering buying a D70, and sheesh. If I can make my camera do this, I think I'll faint.

Did you photoshop it? Is that a stupid question? Apologies in advance!!

Thanks, you are very kind in your remarks. There is very little photoshop some level adjustment and USM and of course some crop and resize for posting on the web of the images. I'm not very good with photoshop, so I don't do much with it. I have found the D70 to be a very fine tool, however the place to put your money is in the lens. Quality glass is the best investment you can make. These were taken with the Nikkor 105mm f2.8.

Wow is right!

They're all really nice. However the first one is my favorite! This should be hanging on my wall, come to think of it. Yellow is my favorite color - I love the composition and the color and ..... everything about it. Some nice yard work! ;)

I'll take that over mowed grass anyday OT. Nice shots, I especially dig the wasp!

[Mr Yuck]

awesome images!

Thanks for sharing, and yes, that wasp shot is amazing, I would suggest that you enter it in something.

You guys are going to swell my head. I appreciate the comments and hope that I can continue to produce images that please. Photography is such a positive outlet for me. there are so many negatives that nip at your heels everyday that it is very gratifing to get such positive feed back form one aspect of your life. Ihe Iris is my fav of this bunch too Liz glad you liked it. I have several different shots of the wasps it was a real toss up on which one to post I must have chosen right. there are all kinds of yard work, I'm gald this is one of them. Thanks again, hope I am not over posting images here, I just love to share.

I want you to go give Joy a GREAT BIG KISS!!!

She make an excellent suggestion, and yes the light was pretty good.

Great shots my friend!

Well I'd give Joy that kiss anyway, but I will let her know that you had suggested it and I might even get an extra or two. Thanks, glad you liked the photos. It's time we were seeing more from you and that F5 isn't it?

OT, you could never post to many images. Some people could, but not you my friend...

[Lara]

Um, that would be a big NO you certainly are not! Keep sharing. It inspires newbies like me, and the not so newbies as well, I'm sure !

[Liz]

hope I am not over posting images here,

NEVER.............don't go there! We LOVE your photographs......

So sell one of those great shots and use the money to hire a kid to do the lawnmowing. Your time is better spent with an eye in the viewfinder - any kid can mow a lawn.

Beautiful work.

I agree, they've helped me alot and taught me to look for specific angles and such! Keep 'em coming!

[walterick]

That first one's a beauty OT! I know how easy it is to spend hours in the garden or yard just shooting the "society" back there. Puts things in perspective for a guy who gets caught up in the rat race sometimes

Nice work!
