Dahlia
Today, we're talking about a photo called Dahlia. Dahlia's and mums are, to me, synonymous with autumn. In the Pacific Northwest, and many other places, summer days can seem to last into September and this year was no exception to that. They also have many different varieties and what I like about this one was that it reminded me of sunshine and daisies. It has the most vibrant yellow outer petals and the smaller inner petals that have vibrant pink tips that stand out like fire on the sun.

Siberian Forget Me Not
This is a macro photography shot called Siberian Forget Me Not. This flower is so, so tiny. Let me say that again. It's so tiny. I might be able to fit two of these flowers fully bloomed on my pinkie. Like, literally on my pinkie nail, fully bloomed. You see it, it's purple, it's got five petals. It's cute. It looks like it takes up about a third of the picture. It's adorable. It is so tiny.

Osprey With Fish
This is Osprey with fish. Getting to take this photo was so thrilling and exciting. My heart was pounding getting to watch this, and I hope that any other nature photographers out there feel the excitement and know how exciting it is to see this type of thing happen in front of your face. Green Lake is a hidden gem for birding. There are so many birds at Green Lake.

Night Lights
Today, we're talking about a photo called Nightlights. This photo holds so many memories for me because it was taken on February 4th, 2020.

Buggy Pond
Now, have you ever taken a photo and gone... I wish I could show you how many bugs were actually at this place. OK, probably not. Because seriously, most people don't actually want to take a picture of the bugs that are at a place, but this place was full of bugs. There were so many mosquitoes! It was insane! And the key to that is the fast shutter speed. Today's photo is called Buggy Pond!

Pollinator
Today we are talking about a photo called Pollinator. Now, the reason why this is called Pollinator and not Bee or whatever is because it's actually a drone fly, which is a type of fly that camouflages itself to look like a bee. This is a macro photography shot, so you can see the top of the fly, its eyes, its little feet getting right up into the stamen of the flower, getting the pollen off of it, doing its thing. Because I shot this in RAW the details were there to allow me to crop this a bit and still have a nice, crisp photo. That's one good thing about shooting RAW is that you do have a lot of those details.

Footbridge
Today, we're talking about a photo called Footbridge. This is an amazing photo. I was so excited when I saw this particular footbridge. There are a couple of ways that you can do night photography. I did talk about this a little bit and episode two on Space Needle lowering the ISO to 100 and pulling out the exposure time. This is the other way, if you need a short exposure time.

Raindrops on a Rosebud
Raindrops on a Rosebud is what's called macro photography. It is a close-up photo of a rosebud, and it was just after a spring shower. So it's completely covered in rain drops. One of the great things about macro photography is that it makes small things large.
And you can see the raindrops on this.
