Friday Night Blogging

My squirrel friend tapping on the front door

In this post, I start off talking about how I like to spend my Friday nights, but by the end, I’m showing you trail camera footage of the creatures I share my yard with, some of which I would be happy never to actually see with my own eyes.

          • TWiP: Birthday and Peony Season (2018)
            My birthday was rainy and yucky this year, but that's ok, because the rain brought the peonies. Oh, I just love these big poofy explosions of pink! I have a hard time photographing anything else while they're in bloom. As you will no doubt notice in this week's TWiP (and probably next week's if I'm being honest...)

I don't like to make things blurry on purpose, as a rule. But I did it anyway. I set a tiny aperture so I could get a slow shutter speed, and I waited for the wind to blow this lily all over the place. And after that was done, I took another picture, with the lily sharply in focus, and a reasonably shallow depth of field, just like I like it 😆

More accurately, it's the moody shadows that get me. Sadly, the Polaroid was disappointing (how many times has *that* phrase been uttered?), so I used my Canon, and I'm happy with those results. Then, just for kicks, I set up my Kodak for a little #ThroughTheViewfinder fun, which I haven't done since 2010, when it was all the rage on Flickr, and the only reason I even bought this camera 🙂
