Another shot from down by the river. Although I never set out to take bird-duck-geese photos, whenever I see them I want to take photos of them for some reason. And the photos are fairly straightforward shots – the kind you get by simply taking snapshots, not sitting in a blind all day with a super-telephoto lens. Mine are more like the…

Insta-style
I finally got out to take some actual photos yesterday. A nice sunny but cold winters day off from work. It’s been so dark and gloomy every time I had a camera in my hands lately, so it was nice to shoot away without worrying about slow shutter speeds. Unfortunately my creativity didn’t kick in and I ended up taking…
Drifting
Shooting snow has always been a challenge for me, especially when there is no other subject in the photo. I want to keep the brightness of it yet still retain the texture detail. Of course I overexposed when I shot so I wouldn’t end up with dark gray photos but I still had the highlights to consider, I didn’t want to burn out…
The party’s over, turn out the lights
A little break from my experiments. While I was in the park the other day trying to fulfill my artistic vision 😉 I took a few shots of this lonely swing set. I don’t know why, it was something to shoot but really didn’t offer much as far as details or textures. Regardless, I took a few shots, trying to play…
That’s amore
“When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie…” I was looking through some of my archives to see what kind of shots I was taking last year at this time, just trying to compare the weather and such, when I came across this photo. This was taken when, I believe, the moon was supposed to be closest…
Black and white(house)
I’m posting this photo mainly to keep this site relevant and up to date. My photography has been painfully lapse the past few months and I find myself with the flu again this weekend. The third time I’ve been sick this year! Considering I could probably count how many times I’ve been this sick in the past say, ten years, on…
I’m still here
Not only has it been too long since I last posted, it’s been a while since I’ve actually had a chance to take any photos. With my new job, since I’m still in orientation mode, my days are being spent with other people so I can’t be snapping photos every time I see something interesting :-). And although the days are…
What’s that white stuff?
It felt like winter around here again today, with the snow and colder temperatures and all. What’s up with that? I personally liked it but people get used to the mild winter and forget what winter is supposed to be like. I think the first thing they forget is how to drive in snow – but I’ll leave that for another…
I miss the snow
Here it is, the 1st of February, the middle of winter, and we have yet to have any appreciable snowfall. We have only had a couple of snow events so far this winter and together they only amounted to just a few inches, and then quickly melted within the next day or so after they occurred. Mostly it has just…
At least I tried (and other good news)
Grass-cicles Last night, after I finished my post, I walked down to the store on the corner. It was dark out and on the way back to my house I noticed the frozen grass in my yard reflecting the lights from nearby businesses. It was a cool (literally) looking scene and I thought I would try to capture it. Try,…
