Denver Amateur Weekly Photo: City Park, Denver

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.

City Park, Denver - Just A Day of Shooting

It had been awhile since I had been out for a day of shooting, I promised myself I would try to get out a lot more this summer to work on my photography eye and skills with this new hobby of mine. So Joey and I went out a Saturday afternoon to City Park and snapped a few pics. This one is of a tree (which names escapes me now), but I wanted to post it out of all of the pictures I took (mostly of flowers) because I really like how the blossoms shinned in the sunlight as if they were almost transparent. I used my Cannon and had it on AV settings using my 75-300mm lens. I know I really must get a 35mm lens for such a picture. I was standing and taking the picture at a 20 degree angle with the sunlight behind me. Hope you like it!
