Walker
Canon 40D * Canon EF-24-105mm f/4.0L lens * ISO 400 * 1/400 second * f/4
I just started a new job and am making some major adjustments so my postings will be light until I get into a routine. The good news, with this change I will have more time to devote to my family and photography.
The above photo was taken on our latest photowalk in Salt Lake City.

Canon 40D * Canon EF-70-200mm f/4.0L lens * ISO 250 * 1/160 second *f/4.
The weather was cooperating and I was finally able to get out and try my 70-200mm lens for some portraits. My daughter (Britney) was more than happy to pose to show off her new hair style. We only had a few minutes, the sun was setting and I was loosing light fast. I noticed that when the shutter speed would fall below 1/200th second it was difficult to keep everything tack sharp. Even though I’m not 100% pleased with the quality of this portrait due to using a slow shutter I’m still happy with how it turned out.

Salt Lake City Water Tower
Canon 40D * Canon EF-24-105mm f/4.0 lens * ISO 200 * 1/500 second * f/11
Today’s shot was taken on our latest photowalk in Salt Lake City. I’ve noticed lately that for some strange reason I’m drawn to water towers. I’ve paid close attention lately and noticed they are all over the valley. I plan on shooting as many as I can. You can see my Water Tower set here on flickr.

Space Needle
Canon 40D * Canon EF-24-105mm f/4.0 lens * ISO 100 * 3.2 seconds * f/8
I was in Seattle this week on business and wasn’t able to get out much, but I was able to make to the Space Needle. Nothing really technical about this shot. Used a tripod and set my dial to Aperture Priority, stopped down until I had an acceptable shutter speed. Set the timer(forgot my cable release) to 2 seconds as to avoid camera shake.

This business trip will be my last hopefully for a long time, I’m not a big fan of flying anymore. There was a time when flying was tolerable but now days it’s not even that. I will be starting a new job in less than two weeks and am excited to spend more time with my family and getting out to shoot more.
