Making the shot
My nephew, Raymond, playing basketball during a tournament game. He made the shot and they also won the game and move forward in the bracket.
Checkers
Homemade checkers board basking in the February sun. First RAW image taken with the new Nikon D200. Not much post processing done, a little bit of sharpening and a slight increase in saturation.
Muscovy Duck
A male Muscovy duck at Grand Lake. Taken with the new Nikon D200. Muscovies live wild in South and Central America. And theyâre raised on farms around the world â the only farm duck not descended from the mallard. Wild muscovies are black and white. Domestic ones are black, white, blue, even chocolate. Muscovies fly well, eat flies and weeds, and donât quack. They only hiss or squeak,
and usually not too often.
Sun and Ice
The morning sun shines through ice on the eastern shore of Grand Lake in Saint Mary’s, Ohio. Just received my Nikon D200 and will be posting several photos as I learn the intricacies of this 800lb gorilla.
Court House Snow Storm
The Auglaize Court House during a very windy snow storm in early December, 2005. This was taken about 1AM. Not sure if I like this particular photo or not. The Christmas decorations on the clock tower are out of place on the building.
Chilled Robin
In the old days, when you would spot an American Robin it meant that Spring was finally here. I remember the local newspaper reporting the first sighting of a robin on the front page. These days, the robins never leave, they are here year round. Unfortunately for this bird it is -9F right now with the wind chill. He seems content on feeding on the Hawthorne berries but next year he will be heading a bit further South for warmer weather.
