Down on the Farm
I stopped at Hillside Farms this past weekend, on the way back from a family thing with Mandy. Aside from the usual collection of farm critters that the public is welcome to visit, we’d heard that there were some babies around – and who among us isn’t a sucker for baby animals? I often feel [...]
How I spent my first day on vacation
Other people go to the shore, or sleep late and spend the morning sitting on the porch with a good cup of coffee. Me, I’m a bit odd, I suppose – I spent mine in the middle of a swamp.
Simple Clicks – End of June
It’s been very busy for the last week, as it usually is this time of year. Summer projects, gigs, the 4th of July, family get togethers…the calendar stays full. So here are a few simple clicks to help me catch up!
A skunking, and frustrated IR
Yesterday was, of course, Midsummer – otherwise known as the Summer Solstice. In celebration of the longest day of the year, I felt like I should try to make the most of all that daylight and make some images, something to mark another astronomical passing. Unfortunately, my planets weren’t aligned. I got pretty well skunked. [...]
Simple Clicks – Tuesday, 15 June
Finally got out this morning, after a busy week and long weekend of crappy weather. It took getting up at 0430 to hit the park before heading to the office, but it was very much worth it. For starters, I was able to check another critter off my list. Yeah, it’s just your standard Eastern [...]
Simple Clicks – Saturday, 30 May
Last night was my girlfriend’s graduation party, so we didn’t get home until pretty late. One of our friends stayed over with us afterwards, and they were both still sound asleep this morning when I snuck out around 6. That’s me – the nut who gets up earlier on weekends than I do on weekdays, [...]
Coming Attractions: Summer 2010
Got some exciting stuff coming up in the next couple of months – here’s a quick look ahead: – Senior portraits: finishing Mandy’s and then I’ll have a second shoot later in the summer with a high school senior. I’m working to further finesse my outdoor portrait technique, so you can expect some tips and [...]
Simple Shot
I took a moment out from chasing the birds on Friday to turn my lens towards the pond, where the combination of rising mist, sunrise, and fishermen was too much to overlook. This is a simple shot that captures the morning and shows more clearly than I can explain why I love returning to Fords [...]
Thursday, April 29th
Here’s a couple more from last night; a few grabbed between birding shots, and a couple more from after the light fell too low and I swapped out to the 17-35. This was a grab with the big lens – just a little study in lines and light.
Looking Back
How many of you ever take the time to look back through your work? I mean actually sit down at the archive and look at it just for the sake of looking at it – not just because you happen to be looking for something specific, and take an extra moment to glance at an [...]
