Here’s a spread from the picture book I’m working on. Nine characters and a detailed scene. It took awhile, but I think it turned out pretty well. 🙂

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.
A sketch from a photograph I took just downstream of the dam on Lake Olathe a couple weeks ago. It’s not perfect, I was just kind of playing with it.
