About This Blog
I began this blog in 2011 in an attempt to improve my photography and showcase all of California's 58 counties. I didn't quite make all of the 58, I missed three and I will try to rectify that in the coming year. I'm not sure how much I improved my photography because I always seemed to be in a rush.
In 2012 I plan to take more time, perhaps not post every day (this is one thing I did accomplish in 2011). I also plan to expand beyond California and include images from other parts of Western United States. I will continue to include a map showing where I was when I took the picture. I will keep commentary to a minimum, long photo essays will continue to be at Martha's Musings.

Beautiful! What kind of filter did you use to make the sun come out like this?
No filter, the trick to this effect is a wide angle lens and a small aperture. I used a 15mm lens and f22.
Very cool shot. I love the way the sun looks.
great shot and beautyful reflection!the sun really seems to warm this cold place!
Very nice shot... I like the star effect you were able to catch there...
Gorgeous shot, Martha! Wonderful reflection.

I'm gobsmacked. This is so gorgeous!
Thanks, Martha, for the info. I'd love to have a lens like that but it's not on my shopping list - yet.
Beautiful, calm reflection shot.
Great starburst and reflection. You have a good eye.
Love how this photo makes the sun look like the star it is! Nice reflection too.
I love how you made the sun burst into a star!!
wonderful
really nice Martha! I remember when I took my first photo for a camera class in school. The instructor told me to NEVER take a photo of the sun. I asked him why (because I liked the photo I took). He said "It's one of the basic rules of photography" and don't break the rule again in this class. I told him that was stupid and I never went back...
Very nice... you could frame this photo!
