A picture a day every day

Tami, my brother, and I all went out to the Great Salt Lake, near Magna to get an hour of shooting in despite the terribly hazy conditions. It was the first time that I’ve been able to take my new lens (Canon 18-200mm) out of the confines of my own yard, so I was excited even with the disadvantages of hazy skies and harsh light. I’m pretty satisfied with the lens overall, and I’d really like to see what I could do with ideal conditions. I did notice that at the 18mm setting there were some dark edges around the corners of my shots. I’ll have to see if this is my lens or the filter I’m using, as I’d like to avoid that going forward. Anyway, here’s a quick slideshow of some of the pictures I got.

These three teenage girls were watching people skate around at the Gallivan Center in Salt Lake City. It seemed like they were interested in what was going on, but a little apprehensive to put on skates and join the group of people making the turns out on the crowded ice.

Here are the shots from January. I might do individual posts for pictures I particularly like, but here’s a collection of everything taken in the month. Some days have multiple images.

Note: This is a sticky post, so new posts will appear chronologically after this one. It will remain a sticky post until it’s replaced by the February slideshow. Don’t forget to check below for newer posts!
