Denver Amateur Weekly Photo: February 2012

What's this blog all about?

While sitting in the DIA airport with a popular photography magazine in hand, I read about an amateur photographer who wanted to share his photos with others and in return have them share their photos with each other. The idea of having a blog where myself and others who enjoy taking pictures could share those images, while at the same time offer up suggestions, ideas and techniques sounded fun to me. So I decided to create Denver Amateur Weekly Photo where everyone is welcome to share their ideas, techniques and photos.

Here's how it works: Simply post your blog each week with a picture you would like to share (don't worry, there is no obligation to do it every week, but the more you do it, the more fun we make the site). When adding your picture, tell us what camera you used, angle you took the picture, the location of the picture, date / time and the camera settings / techniques you've used. That simple.....its all about having FUN.

IMPORTANT - if using a picture of a person, please make sure you have their permission before posting.

Mikey - "Shooting Day One"

My friend Mike, who is a memeber of this blog, but seems to yet post any of the amazing pics he takes. This is from November of 2011. Taken with my Canon 5D, this is at knee level taking a picture of Mike taking pictures of some ducks in the water. My settings were f/7.1, 1/1250sec. / Demensions of 2784X 1856 / 72 dpi at a 240 mm focal lengh. The picture was taken at 2:27 p.m., it turned out great.

Day At The Zoo

So Joey, Mike and I headed out to the Denver Zoo today to do some shooting on 2.19.12. This picture is one of many favorites I got on this day. This picture was taken at 4:17 p.m in the Aquatic area of the zoo. It was with the EOS, using the f/4.5 135 mm lens. Hope you enjoy it. I will get some other posted in coming weeks as I have several from this day.
