Backlight

One of last years cool shots of an Iris.  The sun was just coming up and the light was catching the edgs of this great white beauty.  I have often tried to capture the edges and shimmer of the iris, the depth and texture of the delicate petals.  I used my 150mm Sigma macro lense.  Doesn't give much dof but got the nice crisp edges.   Can't wait for the iris to bloom this spring.

Fadim's Snow

This was the start of snow last week - 7 inches by the end of the day was the most we have ever had.  Fadim was really enjoying the fun  flakes and he really got silly.  Its a bit hard to take a decent photo of a moving dog with the snow and low light but I thought this was pretty cute and worth the effort it took to try and get just one silly shot.
