Through the lens

Please note that none of the photographs which appear on this page have been altered in any way.  I do sometimes crop an image (especially when trying to compensate for the 800mm lens I don’t own yet) but do not edit in any other way.  This is certainly not to say that my photos wouldn’t benefit from some tweaking, nor that I  have a problem with photographers who do put their work through an editing program–I just don’t do it in my own.    I may change my mind about this some day, but for now, what you see is what I saw; underexposures, poor composition, short lens, and all.  –Carol
Below are recently added shots which didn’t make the blog.  All taken July 2010 in the UP.  Somewhere.  There are already too many humans crowding me out on the water there.  If you find a great place, share it with no-one but those who will treat it as you do– nothing short of sacred soil, water, and sky.
