Missing animals

I get tips from my fellow students every once in a while about cool places to go for cool pictures. On occasion, when I try out one of these locations, I see some cool animal that isn't seen very often. Most of the time, that doesn't happen. 

This was one of those times. I went to the Wheatridge Greenbelt to try and snag a couple pictures of some red foxes because they're known for letting people feed them chicken bones at this particular location. After my 3rd time of going there, I gave up on the foxes because I needed a picture for my class so I decided to do timed exposures of the river flowing parallel to the walking path. 
A couple of the images turned out really nice in black and white as well as color so I couldn't decide which one I liked more. Let me know which are your favorites.

Portfolio update

These are the edited images that have been approved for my school portfolio. Feel free to comment and let me know if you feel any other images should be included within this collection. 

Botanic Gardens

The Botanic Gardens in Denver is quite a place. I hadn't ever been before but I definitely want to go back during spring time. The inside of the facility is full of tropical flowers and other plants. There will be more from there soon. 

Let me know which ones are your favorites.

Nebraska

So, instead of waiting until I got pictures approved, I figured I should just post the ones that I'm going to turn in and see what other people think. This shoot involved a 4 hour drive up to Nebraska where there was supposedly a really big "eagle hang-out". We got there around 11am and immediately saw eagles everywhere. The lake was frozen over but there were a few out on it stalking fish under the ice. Most of the eagle activity was over by the turbine for the dam that was killing fish for them to feed on. When we started shooting, it was overcast and grey everywhere we looked but I thought I should still try since we just drove 4 hours, I would make the best of it and shoot what I could. Here's what I got.
