Family gatherings are great photo opportunities. You never know what is going to happen. Everyone expects you to be taking photos and just relax. I have been practicing some of my “street” photography lately and this has been a good …Continue Reading Here…
What a fitting tribute to 500 posts. I love to create and capture memories and these two happen to be the inspiration for many of my shots. There are many times they will be with me when I am out shooting and start taking …Continue Reading Here…
I am taking a break from my churches series to wish all the fathers out there a Happy Father’s Day. I am sure to take a lot of flack for not starting this sooner and missing Mother’s Day. However, I decided today shall be a good day to start this. After wishing everyone out there a Happy Father’s Day, I would like to wish my own, a happy and exciting day. One of the proudest day’s in my life was the day I became a father, and I have been blessed to have had two of those days.
I have posted a few photos taken by my wife over the past couple of months. However, I noticed that I had not posted any photos of my lovely wife. I shot this with my AF Nikkor 50mm f1.8D. I really like that lens. I have been very pleased with the results that I have …Continue Reading Here…
One of the main reasons I started this daily photo blog was to capture memories. One of the big problems with that is I am behind the camera almost all of the time. I get a pretty good view of events from my point of view, behind the camera. This works great for …Continue Reading Here…
I must say that I really love the new 50mm lens. There is nothing like spending time with kids and trying to capture what they are thinking with a camera. There has been some recent discussion in the photography realm about the future …Continue Reading Here…
I could not hold off posting this one much longer. This is another shot with my new 50mm lens. I have had so much fun with the new lens. My daughter has a habit of putting her headphones on and tuning out the world, or giving me that …Continue Reading Here…
I have now had the AF Nikkor 50mm f1.8D for a week. Frustratingly, I have only had the opportunity to test it out one day. What a fabulous portrait lens. I took photos of several people and was pleased to find this to be a very …Continue Reading Here…
I don’t know about many other kids, but mine do not slow down for anything. Especially when I have the camera. I had been trying to get a quick shot of the kids while riding, which was lots of fun, but only got this one shot of …Continue Reading Here…
I have been in a very cold mood lately. Not as in my attitude, but as in “I can’t wait for winter”. However, I have to confess, the weather was not too bad here. I can only have Irene to thank for our lower than usual temperature and nice cool breeze. On the other hand, my heart goes out to all those who have been affected by this massive storm.
I love to go fishing and I don’t get to do it as much as I want to. However, I must say that I hate to take the fish off the hook. I don’t know where this fear comes from, but it is there none the less. I guess that has to go along with my fear of heights, but I love to rock climb…go figure. I took my daughters for the first time several weeks ago and they were successful little fishers. Enough so that I had to take a few photos of the event. This is one of my wife and daughter sitting patiently. Of course, I think the shutter speed was cranked up to around 1/2000th of a second because I know they were not still that long.
Just after this photo, the little one actually caught a good size large mouth bass.
