*I have switched cameras until I get my new lens.
The camera I will finish the class with is a Fujifilm finepix f50fd a small hand held digital camera.*

week 5

For those who have macro capabilities try and get some very close up pictures of your subject.
If you have any kind of filters take some pictures and post one or two of those as well. (optional)
Take some pictures of nature scenes and try to include a human element if possible on some of these.
Also share some of your favorite building pictures.
Fireworks or any night time exposures are also welcome, including time exposures.

Natural Scene *I was not able to get any human element in my images this week*

The sun was starting to set. I was running out of time for pictures. I like the color of the water here.

 

Our front and side yard here in Holmes County, Ohio. We have an interesting history. On the survey to our land, we found that the Greenville Treaty Line runs right past our yard.

The Greenville Treaty Line was a boundary between Native American territory and lands open to white settlers. I did find one arrow head in our garden last year.

I revisited this cabin. I took it at another angle. I really like the idea of taking pictures of buildings from this new angle.

This time I came away with more information.

Morgan Workman, the cabin's builder and long-time occupant was well known. Born in Maryland in 1818, he was brought to Ohio as a small boy and grew up in Knox County. At an early age Morgan took an interest in preaching, and became a minister of the Danville Brethern Church while in the early 20s. After marring, Morgan acquired the farm (in what was then known as "Dunkard") church. Minister Workman held the first services of his new church in his home (or this cabin).

Morgan Workman and his wife Jeruitia (nee Priest) had 11 children (five sons and six daughters), all but one son lived to be an adult. Morgan Workman died in 1887.

A birch tree in our front yard. It was slower at budding then the other trees.

 

If you have castles in the air,

Your work need not be lost;

that is where they should be.

Now put foundations under them.
