silly redneck

most people at some point will leave their keys hanging in the door lock.... some people however can't open the door from the inside, and are forced to pose for silly pictures.

Tools

I think I should note here that I've been playing w/ macro filters alot this summer. All of the shots that I put up in the last few days were taken with them. Untill this weekend I'd been obsessed with the extreme filters, and stacking them. This weekend I started playing with the 1x and 2x filters more. I'm blown away by the results. I can tell a difference between these filters, and a good lens, but with a price difference of hundreds of dollars, the filters were a great investment. They're also much lighter to carry, and easier to switch out than a good lens.

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.
