…or as I learned it… the amount of slices of bread you can clearly see. The aperture of a camera lens is the diameter of the lens opening. The larger the diameter of the aperture, the more light reaches the sensor. Aperture is expressed as F Stop. The smaller the F-stop number (or f/value), the larger the lens opening (aperture).

tulip farms make me smile
This slideshow requires JavaScript.
Yesterday, we went to the Tulip Farm in Woodburn, Ore. At first I wasn’t too excited about it until Kari reminded me to bring the camera. Twist Twist. What we found out as we pulled up to an almost empty parking lot was that we came in through the back exit and didn’t have to pay the $10admission fee. Shhhhh…don’t tell anyone.
We walked along only a few acres of the 40acre farm. At first glance, I thought I would walk up and down every aisle to see the various tulips. But, I quickly became overwhelmed after only walking a few steps and clicking about 200photos. Take a look…
…and daffodils too!
These 9 photos are only a sampling of the 300plus photos I clicked. The tulips farm makes me smile. I can already tell you that this week’s daily photos are going to be chalk full of more pics I took at the farm.
I don’t hear any complaining now- do I?
art therapy
My photography has not been close to spectacular lately. I apologize for that. I’ve been quite busy at the place where I work and by the time the weekend comes around – I’m feelin’ a bit tired. I guess you can say that the camera has been a good art therapy outlet for me. It’s a way for me to express myself.
Oh — how I love Spring time! All the cherry blossoms, daffodils and tulips are blooming. I had to capture this photo of my favorite part of spring time blossoms which is when they dust the ground kind of like snow. Enjoy!
chain links
Yesterday, while waiting for my laundry to finish at the local mat, I took a stroll through the hood. Of course, I had my camera with me so I got a few click click clicks in. I passed this deserted parking lot that was roped off with these metal chains. It can get kind of tricky to get a good shot of something so “everyday like” or non-cliche. I’m pretty happy with this perspective of the chain links.
bench
Okay, o.k. I know I’m on a bit of a photo posting frenzy today, but I can’t help it. It’s a good outlet for me. I really need to get out and have a visit with the sunshine for a few consecutive days. Maybe on a tropical island? Hawaii? Mexico anyone???
I like this bench. It’s wet, slick, shiny, and has a strange bar strapped around the top of it. Maybe I’m just in hog heaven with the Canon?
Is anybody out there?
