Denver Amateur Weekly Photo: July 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.

So I figured since this is my first post I had better post one of my best! I was in San Fran back in June and we were walking around Golden Gate Park. We came across this patch of orange flowers with lots of bumble bees flying around them. I was able to snap a few great shots. This is one of them! Hope you enjoy!

P.S. Kirk, Don't be to jealous ;-) JK

Wood and Metal

Took this picture while out messing around one day. It's a simple picture, taken from the inside of a gazebo, looking up through the center of it. Not fancy, just liked how it turned out.
