339/365 - Tim - OBX Bird

( No EXIF Info Nikon D60 )

No, OBX does not stand for obnoxious. It stands for the Outer Banks in North Carolina. My uncle Tim was there on vacation and got this awesome shot. Here is his description of it:

When we were at the Outer Banks NC this year I got up early to shoot the sunrise over the water. I set the camera on a tripod and would snap a picture every minute as the sun rose. As this bird flew by I couldn't resist snapping a photo.

126/365 - Tim - Deer Family Portrait

(Moultrie Game Spy 5MP Camera)

My uncle Tim got this camera for Christmas. He strapped it to a tree along a heavily traveled trail and checked on it a week later to find this photo. He says:

It looks like a Mama and two little ones. The other deer looks like a buck that already shed his horns. It looks like they had a family portrait taken.

111/365 - Tim - Cheerleading Competition

( f/3.5 18mm 1/100 sec ISO 800 Nikon D60 )

My uncle Tim is the guest blogger today. He asked me for some advice on photographing in a gymnasium. I told him about setting the white balance for the fluorescent lights and to shoot in Shutter priority. Also how to use the ISO if the pictures are too dark. He took my advice and got a quality shot. Here is some info he emailed me about the photo. Jessica is my cousin if you can't figure that out...

Thanks to the advise I received from a great photographer I know, the picture turned out great. I had no idea you could take such a nice photo inside a gymnasium without a flash. Jessica is the red head holding the girl up on the right. Jessica's team took third place in the competition. The Nikon D60 with the 18-200mm lens took first place.
