Beach Bug

Here’s a slightly soggy ladybug that I found on a rocky beach in Sister Bay, WI.  It was a drizzly morning.

Raindrops in a Stream

I took this a few weeks ago during a light rainstorm. Unfortunately, my shutter speed (1/25 sec) wasn’t nearly fast enough to capture the ripples without blurring. Even at this size, sized for the web, the blur is apparent. That’s pretty bad. The light was too low and I was having trouble getting the image bright enough. I had the iso set at 800, but in retrospect, I should have set it even higher so I could have gotten that shutter speed up. Oh well, too late now.

It Rained Today!

It rained today.  In honor of that, I sketched this.  The pavement was dry again before I was halfway through.
