Sunrise Rocks

Today’s Photo:  Sunrise Rocks

I have loved rocks growing up.  I would collect them, but then I got old enough to know better.  Yeah, I finally got rid of them when I was in college.  However, I thought I had it bad until I met my wife.  She still has hers.  At least they are …Continue Reading Here…

I was looking at some of the old posts last night and noticed that I completely missed the aniversary of Just Shooting Memories, the Daily Photography Blog.  March 14 was one year since my first post.  I am still just shy of 366 (leap year) posts.  By my count, I should be there in 6 days.  I guess I missed a couple, maybe 12, at the beginning, but have not since May last year.

Reflections of Buildings

Today’s Photo:  Reflections of Buildings

I don’t know what this building was.  I found it totally by accident when I decided to make a complete circuit of the Idaho state capital building.  There was an almost perfect reflection of the state capital.  If I could have just gotten that one row of lights turned off (Where are the Chick-Fil-A cows when you need them?) I think it …Continue Reading Here…

Why is it that people who work a normal Monday – Friday job say that it is all down hill starting from Wednesday?  I even find that I am guilty of this, even when I know that the bulk of the work is to come on Thursday or Friday.  I guess it is just a polite way to say thank God for the weekend that is coming.

Boise National Forest

So, I went to Boise, Idaho for a few days.  I put up a shot of the sunset and one of the State Capital.  It still has not pleased those that want to see the landscape there.  The morning after exploring downtown, I spoke with the clerk at the hotel.  I wanted to find some good shots up in the mountains.  He suggested Bogus Basin.  I though “cool” this is going to be fun.  Armed with the GPS I made my way through downtown Boise and began the ascent up Bogus Basin Road.  What an adventure.  I went from about 2000′ elevation and climbed to 6000′ in 16 miles.  This shot was taken just before I hit the snowy / icy side of the mountain.  I am still pulling pieces of the seat out.

Saint Michael's Episcopal Cathedral (Boise, Idaho)

Today’s Photo:  Saint Michael’s Episcopal Cathedral (Boise, Idaho)

Continuing on my adventure finding churches to photograph, we come to Boise.  I found this little gem tucked away behind the capitol building.  When I was taking shots of the capitol, I almost decided to skip walking around …Continue Reading Here…

I don’t know why it is that, when I get back home, everyone asks to see photos of where I have been.  I guess that is a good thing and a bad thing.  It is good because I know that everyone expects to see some pretty cool stuff and if I was not doing a good job, they wouldn’t ask.  On the other side, I only have a small amount of time to get them processed.

Windy Idaho Sunset

Today’s Photo:  Windy Idaho Sunset

I took this shot from the top of a parking garage about three blocks from the Idaho State Capital.  I did not know it could be that windy anywhere.  It had to have been a constant 30 – 40 mph winds.  It was blowing hard enough to shake the camera on the tripod.  For anyone who has used a Manfrotto 055XPROB you know that the camera attaches right at the top of the legs…and the camera still shook.  I finally had to resort to leaning against is to get it still enough for a bracket.  Forget getting more than the three auto brackets.  It would have shifted while I was trying to change settings.

Idaho State Capital

Today’s Photo:  Idaho State Capital

I spent a couple of days in Boise Idaho this past week.  I was able to sneak in a few hours of photography both downtown and in the mountains. I did a little research before leaving and was hoping to get a shot of the capital building.  I was blessed …Continue Reading Here…
