2011 - My Year in Pictures

A narrative of sorts using photos representative of the type of things I choose to capture. I can see marginal improvement from photos from the previous year, so I like to imagine I am actually improving as a photographer (and Photoshop user).

  • One year ago today this was the picture outside our window. We had just return from visiting relatives, literally as we closed out garage door upon returning home, the snow started to turn the brown landscape to white.
  • In going through the pictures from this past year, it was almost a shock to come across a set of Kitty's. <br /> <br /> This is from January, eight months before she passed away at the age of 20.
  • This is from one of our weekend drives. This one to Cripple Creek. This water wagon is parked outside the visitor center.
  • Nearly every month I snap pictures of the Moon. Typically on my way to work, and typically hand held.
  • January had us visit the Butterfly Pavilion in Denver. We will likely do so again this month or next.
  • This time I will warm up my camera and lenses before heading there, and save the 20 minutes I had to wait before the photographic equipment I had with me stopped fogging up.
  • And this time I will plan my shots, although I liked nearly all the shots I took.
  • January went out with more snow coming our way . . . I liked the photo opportunities, and Melisa talked of moving.
  • Yes, the February Moon . . .
  • . . . and a few days later, still in February.
  • Like most years, I took a lot of shots of hawks . . .
  • . . . and Moon. Did I mention the moon?
  • But people like hawks more than they like the moon.
  • March brought it's own snow . . .
  • . . . and decorated the hummingbird lawn ornament.
  • In late March I bought a D7000 to replace the D200 . . . in April I took this picture of a Western Meadowlark with the new camera. Yes, I am liking the camera a lot.
  • Another full Moon for April.
  • That same day I took a picture of a vulture . . . very rare for me, as I usually see them high above.
  • And that evening I captured this sunset view of Pikes Peak while on my way home from racquetball.
  • Yes, another hawk. Not sure what kind, but once again I was impressed with the camera. This guy was quite a distance away, and flying away from me.
