Photography Friday

This week I’m still going through the many pictures I took during my lab social events last week. These ones were all taken at Taughannock Falls where we all had a wonderful time grilling out, relaxing by the lake, and going on a brief hike up to the falls. I was very excited about the snake picture, since I’m rarely somewhere that I get to see snakes. It makes me think I should really get out to the many nearby parks more often so I might stumble on some more wildlife photography opportunities.

Photography Friday

This past week, I got to visit with the boy for the first time in almost two months!  Since we usually visit once a month, it felt like it had been forever.  So we had a great time with our visit, including a fun trip to the Des Moines Zoo.  I was also using my 55-250mm lens for only the second time (the first time was for the parade pictures last week) and the zoom was fantastic!  I do hate it a little that it becomes physically impossible for me to take pictures of anything too close, but I also think it’s a fun challenge to make all my pictures work without changing lenses.  I’ll definitely be using it more often!
