It hit 95 degrees today and I was in Mason Neck State Park looking for subjects to photograph.  Not much was stirring so I decided to head into the woods (and out of the sun) to practice some techniques using the available features of my camera.  One of the features allows for multiple exposures to be taken and combined together in camera. The photograph above is a combination of ten exposures taken by moving the camera up just a little for each exposure. Makes an interesting, painting-like effect.

Even though it was very hot, it didn’t deter the female bluebird below from working hard to provide lunch for her little ones waiting inside a birdhouse in the park.
