Wow -- coming in second and receiving the Moderation Team Award in the July Brackets is our very own Kathy, from Ann Arbor, Michigan. This outstanding photo garnered the most Founder and Keeper votes, and it's just a true delight to be able to present it to you on our blog today.
What equipment do you use?
Well this photo was shot with my Christmas present a new Canon Rebel XTI, the day after Christmas, basic kit lens that came with the camera.
What is the story behind your Brackets entry?
The day after Christmas, dying to use my new camera, I got up and noticed everything had frost on it. The sun hadn't come up yet, so I got in the car and raced to the river in our town hoping for some cool river/frost shots. You have to cross the railroad tracks to get to the park..I went and took photos by the river and was going back to the car
... The tracks were an after thought. I thought they looked cool with the sun coming up and reflecting on the metal. The sun is actually rising to the left of the tracks which worked out for nice colors.
Any tips you have for how to take a great photo?
Oh I am such a basic person, I don't have the fancy lenses, most of the time I shoot with the standard kit lens. I shoot what I like, and sometimes it works out and many times the delete button comes in very handy
I wish I knew all the tips, but for the most of my favorite shots were, right place right time. Lighting is everything for the best shots. Get up early get out there for the sunrise. (I need to do it more often )
Even if you don't think something might look good as a photo, take it anyway--- you never know. Some of my favorites worked out that way.
Thanks again everyone for voting for my photo, it is an honor.
