I happened across a small drainage pond tucked away behind the Verizon store yesterday. I barely noticed it as I was driving up, and I happened to have my camera in the Jeep. So when I was done at Verizon (ordering my Droid X!) I grabbed the trusty Rebel and walked over to the pond and snapped some shots. I experimented with my zoom lens, but for some reason I couldn’t get a decent focus. I think the zoom may be dying, oh no!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only way I could get a good close shot of any of the flowers was to hold the camera out over the water \/ subject, focus, and then snap the shot, without seeing where in the frame the subject was. Sort of a random composition – it took quite a few shots to get a few that were good, but here are four of the best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
