Grace Made Evident: My new artsy collage

http://gracemadeevident.blogspot.com/2010/02/my-new-artsy-collage.html

My new artsy collage. After playing with them, I decided to use a sepia tone, which would work well with the black frames, off-white mattes, and the colors in our bedding. Only two of these pictures are ones that I've previously blogged about (I included links to the originals below the respective pics), and two of them are new to Grace Made Evident. So, here they are . . . Pyramid Point view of Lake Michigan. Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Curling Birch bark in the woods of Northern Michigan.

Grace Made Evident: So long summer!

http://gracemadeevident.blogspot.com/2013/08/so-long-summer.html

While Shakespeare may have said, "And summer's lease hath all too short a date." I'm just going to have to disagree with the impassioned bard. And here's why I'm looking forward to cooler weather. These grow GINORMOUS in size. But, I will miss seeing more of these guys out my kitchen window. This one posed perfectly for me on our gardenia bush. Still, I say, bring on the cooler weather!

Natural Vision Photography: September 2013

http://naturalvision-photo.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html

Monday, September 23, 2013. I have been reliving my experience in Banff National Park for years. I didn't think I would be going back so soon, but guess what. It's happening! Actually it's happening in just about a week. Banff is a special place for me for several reasons. It was where my wife and I went on our honeymoon 4 years ago. We stayed in the town of Banff and at the Chateau at Lake Louise. It was an incredible experience. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Twitter - Derek Griggs. 100 Photos in 100 Days.

Natural Vision Photography: Snowy Owls!

http://naturalvision-photo.blogspot.com/2014/03/snowy-owls.html

Friday, March 7, 2014. This week I saw and photographed my first wild Snowy Owls! It's an irruption year for Snowy Owls who are visiting us in good numbers. I have been watching the reports in my area, but with my focus being on landscape photography rather than wildlife, I wasn't prepared. We arrived at the Sax Zim Bog at around 8:00am and found our first owl in less than 10 minutes. It was a Great Gray but is was off in the distance hunting. We found our first Snowy Owl about 5 minutes after th...I jus...

Natural Vision Photography: August 2012

http://naturalvision-photo.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html

Thursday, August 16, 2012. Nikon D7000, Nikkor 300mm f2.8 w/TC14e II @420mm, ISO 640, f4, 1/800. My last trip to Yellowstone it was snowing for much of my time out there even though it was early fall. I wanted to capture the snow and the warm colors of fall at the same time. I set out to change my "normal" editing process and set out of my comfort zone. I watched a couple "how to" videos on YouTube to see if I could come up with something of my own. Above is what I was able to come up with. Here.

Natural Vision Photography: Lesson Learned: Time Lapse Part 2

http://naturalvision-photo.blogspot.com/2013/05/lesson-learned-time-lapse-part-2.html

Wednesday, May 22, 2013. Lesson Learned: Time Lapse Part 2. Nikon D600, Nikkor 16-35 f/4 @ 2 sec intervals. While on my recent trip I had a tendency to shoot a little of everything. I would bracket some exposures for HDR, maybe do a panorama, even do a HDR panorama. I experimented with focus stacking, oh and long exposures. I got a pretty neat Hoya 9 stop ND filter. Oh and if the scene warranted those techniques, then why not a time lapse as well? Take several practice photos to make sure your settings a...

Natural Vision Photography: Lesson Learned: Time Lapse Part 1

http://naturalvision-photo.blogspot.com/2013/05/lesson-learned-time-lapse-part-1.html

Saturday, May 11, 2013. Lesson Learned: Time Lapse Part 1. Time Lapses have become very popular over the last couple of years. Today there is easy to use software, built in time lapse or interval timers and plenty of online tutorials. All of this has made making time lapses more accessible to the hobby photographer. As soon as I realized this was something that I could do with my current equipment, I was ready to go. But I haven't tested it yet, so don't quote me on that. I know this turned out to be a l...
