With Michael visiting from out of town, I had my camera with me, but I rarely used it.
I wanted to show him the local parks, so we hiked/walked Green Lakes on one morning and Clark’s Reservation another. We also took a peek at Delphi Falls, Chittenango Falls, and Jamesville Beach Reservoir as well. I had my camera with my every time, but rarely had the desire or occasion to use it. Don’t mistake me, the scenery was as nice as always, but the company was better and I didn’t want to slow us down.
Well … most of the time, anyway.
On Saturday morning, we saw a fawn and its mother playing in the morning light across from the golf course at Green Lakes and I just had to stop to take some pictures from the car. I failed at capturing images of the fawn frolicking about as I tried jumping between ISO setting and shutter speeds depending on the light the little one was playing in. I did come away with a few images that satisfied me and this one was probably my favorite as they were both postured so similarly.
At Clark’s Reservation the following day, a spider caught my eye too, so I forced Michael to wait as I tinkered with my camera settings, got out the speedlight, deployed by ghetto diffusion solution, and captured a few images. I would later realize that the spider was an amputee only after reviewing/editing the image on my laptop.
