This cute little Fiat 500 just anchored the scene for me, with the folks so immersed in their meals they never noticed me and my bright red Pentax.

Quite the neglected homestead, paint-wise, but structurally sound at this point. Found on back road to Maupin, Oregon.

A decaying restaurant in the Columbia Gorge. Reflected in the Koi pond.

This caught my eye on a sidewalk covered with leaves. The sun was setting and glowing through the leaves.

It's very unusual to see these sparrows roosting together. Caught this at one of the local golf courses.

Behind The Lens

Location

We cruised up the Tracy Arm Fjord in Alaska aboard the Carnival Spirit to the Sawyer Glacier.

Time

I believe it was between 2-3PM PST.

Lighting

It was a lightly overcast day, no direct sunlight, but not at all gloomy.

Equipment

Handheld Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS1. Automatic setting. 12x zoom w anti-shake.

Inspiration

The blue depth of the ice inspired many shots. The proximity of the touring boat to the face of the actively calving glacier prompted me to zoom in on it to get a good perspective. I included enough of the extended field of the glacier to enhance the feeling of massiveness.

Editing

Very little lighting compensation was employed. No Photo Shop effects were used.

In my camera bag

Now, I normally have my Pentax K-5 and 16-45mm and 55-300mm lenses and always have a tripod or mono-pod with me for these kinds of shots.

Feedback

Pay attention to framing, make sure you cut nothing off, keep each subject away from the edge of the frame, and take lots of shots. Memory is cheap!
