Purple Flowers

My mother wants purple flower shots for one of the bedrooms in her home... so, everytime we walked past a purple flower this week Mary pointed it out.

Vacation

Since when are vacations so much work. I think it was all worth it, but Now I need a vacation from my vacation.

just to annoy Mary

Ok, this isn't really just to annoy Mary. I wish I could have gotten the web to show up a little better. Mary tried very hard to get this shot, and I was able to pull it off. I think if I had set up a tripod, and gotten a longer exposure, I might have been able to make the web show up better. If there was the slightest breeze that wouldn't work though.

I wonder what it would look like croped? or edited at all for that matter. I'll see if I can't find time to mess with that tomorrow.

Gardening

I'm getting a little tired of all the flower pictures on here, but it's what I've been shooting. I need to go out for some more night shooting soon.

This is a shot I got this morning while I was gardening in over the rhine. I think I'm going to like this deal. I do a little gardening, and get fresh greens. rock out.

Return of the Camera Part 3

In Theory there is a working camera waiting for me down at the camera shop. I'll find out in about 20 min.

more smoke.

Smoke and Mirrors

Well, that's half right. Last night I started playing with a "soft box" I'm trying to make, and ended up just taking pictures of smoke for about an hour.... some interesting results.

The Square

I was playing down at fountain square last thursday. (thanks Mary, Using your camera helps keep me sane.)

Anyway, thought this pic was cool. I want to go back sometime with a tripod so I can frame the shots better. I had to steady the camera on a wall to get the few shots I did.... Kind of limits the ability to frame a shot.

Furry Animals, and the winner of the free print

To pick the winner of the free print I wrote each entrant's name on an identical piece of paper and dropped them on the floor. The odd one was the winner. Joe Adams landed up, Chris Chambers landed down, and Kjell Landed down. You guys should thank Mary for taking herself out of the running. She said she already had her fav. pic, and honestly... all she has to do to get any shot she likes is ask, and perhaps cover the cost if I'm really really poor.

Congrats dad..... Kjell, I was really tempted to rig the contest cause you're the only person who entered that I don't know offline, but I thought that'd be unfair to everyone else. I'd still love to swap prints with ya.

push the shadows

Just one more day to enter for a free print.
