Screwing around

We are having a wonderful winter day in TN, think sunny, Carolina blue skies, and 60 degrees. Yep, just your regular winter day in the SE end of the US of A. Anyhow, I was out in the back yard screwing around with my Xmas/birthday gift and after playing around in Photoshop for a bit, I wanted to post these 2 pix. They are not all that great, but I was glad that I did something right by cranking up the Fstop and going as far as I could with the shutter speed without totally bleaching the picture. The color pictures are actually kind of boring, unless you are a pine tree aficionado, but I thought inverting the pictures and framing them (thanks Nate!) improved them some. Anyhow, these are my lame attempts at some creative photography on a beautiful day. The thumbnails are ok, but click on the image to get the full view.
