I have been trying to get a good picture of a spider web for a while. When I was out for a morning walk, I ran into this web. It was not easy to capture. I had to go back to the house and get a step stool and a water squirt bottle in order to get the water drops on it. It looks better with the water drops. Unluckily, when I was spraying the web, the spider decided not to be a part of the picture. I will keep trying to get the perfect shot.
I am linking up to Macro Friday at Blogging from Bolivia.

I am at a week long photography class in Northern California. We are camping on the coast, and it is a wild rugged landscape. Here are my three favorite pictures from yesterday.
A Banana Slug. I love his eyes in focus.
A sweet little bird who thought that his mommy was bringing him some food.
And a spider web. I need to work on my spider web photo skills.

I still don’t know whether it is best to use flash indoors or not. Here are two pictures that I took of the same thing. The first one I used flash and the second I did not.
I think that I like the one with flash better. What do you think?
As I started taking pictures of therapy activities for Therapy Fun Zone, I needed to work on my photography skills.
The first step is to change my point of view. I noticed many of my pictures are taken looking down on the activity. I needed to get my camera down into the activity.
That made a much better point of view.
It brings back memories of my youth going roller skating. This is my son’s end of year class party. I took a lot of pictures to try to get just the right blur.
Right now in Yosemite valley the Dogwood trees are in full bloom. They have beautiful white flowers that cover the trees, and they almost glow as the sun is going down. I was almost able to capture that glowing quality.
It is beautiful. I had to turn the focus to manual, and turn my flash off. Then I used a tripod and let my camera take in the light. It’s good the trees aren’t whizzing by like kids are.
Here is more Dogwood in the day.
