(not so) Speechless Sundae...

It has oft been said that practice makes perfect. And so it goes with everything, especially photography. I've been wanting to get out and play with my new camera, but the weather been anything but cooperative.

Yesterday was absolutely Gaw-Gis Dahling. Blue skies, abundant sunshine and above freezing temps prompted a walk around Radnor Lake Wilderness Area in Southern Davidson/Nashville Metro.

There are several mistakes in this photo. But the whole purpose of the shoot was to learn, analyze and make adjustments. Hopefully, I will learn what's under the hood before warmer weather sets in...

Y'all are too kind. The glaring mistake is the horizon line is off. Using a wide angle lens is tricky and getting your virtual horizon right can be quirky at times. I just learned that I can correct this as there is a function which allows me to see in the monitor what I am shooting. More bells and whistles to learn...

Hi Michael,

Very nice. I love Nikon. I'm using a D5000 right now.I am not near the photographer you are. The camara just feels good in your hand, do you know what I mean? Your pictures are all fantastic, and this one is one of my favorites. I like that you can see the rocks in the forefront.

Michael, to my eye the only mistake is that the snow is still on the ground. Thanks for sharing

Hi Michael - A D7000 is on my wish list but there is no point in me buying it until I have some time to devote to learning all of the new features. The new bodies keep on getting better and better all the time.

You have a keen eye and clearly know what you are doing. I couldn't find the "mistake" until you gave it up in your comments.
