I often enjoy wandering about the farm looking for interesting photos. Sometimes I find some, most of the time I don’t. Here are a few shots I came up with Sunday afternoon. Make sure you click on them for larger versions!

In a nature shot I would typically want all of the scene in focus, but in this case the background wasn’t particularly interesting, maybe even a bit distracting and busy. But when it’s blurry I think it makes for an interesting photo.

This photo is a good example of something I was talking about the other day. I rarely use black and white, and when I do it’s usually because I think the color distracts the viewer from noticing the shapes. In this case the original photo looked like an ordinary tree.

But when you subtract the color it forces you to look at the shapes, and I think the shapes are the interesting part of this photo.
