On September 22nd and 23rd I had the great pleasure to drive out to Colorado to attend a landscape workshop put on by Nasim Mansurov and others at what is now Photography Life.com, a photography blog I enjoy following on a regular basis. The base “camp” for the workshop was the scenic town of Ridgway, Colorado. The …
I know these photos are only relative to family and friends, but wanted to share these photos of my oldest son leaving today to begin his 2 year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He will be serving in the Milwaukee Wisconsin mission. Mom swore she wasn’t going to cry, but …
When I was in Utah this past week I went on a drive with my Mother and my niece Olivia along the Alpine loop from Provo canyon to American Fork canyon. The fall colors were amazing and most of the aspens weren’t in color yet. Another week or two at the most and the aspens …
So because Jared reports to the missionary training center on Wednesday, and he flies out to Utah Tuesday, his Mother wanted to have farewell open house for him tonight. I told her they didn’t really do those any more, but there was no stopping her lol. Of course she wanted some pictures taken to commemorate …
This year was the Siskiyou Century’s 25th Anniversary ride. It was a great day overall weather wise. It was windy at times and the smoke also varied in thickness from the many fires around the area. The post ride meal was excellent as always, with some entertainment as well from the band Gimme Shelter. A …
Here are the pictures I took of my sons Nathan and Christian’s soccer team. Most of the shots are of the kids shooting goals for the kick-a-thon. Once again could have used a bigger flash and forgot to increase the film speed….but otherwise pretty pleased with the performance of the 24-120mm lens. Enjoy, and if any …
Here are some of the photos I took of Daniel’s soccer team Orange Crush. They are a U8 team. A few things I learned from this photo shoot was that I should have increased my film speed to iso 400, to allow for quicker shutter speeds. I found that 1/250-1/320 just wasn’t enough to freeze …
My new baby came today from Adorama!!! It was a new Nikon 24-120mm 1:4G VR lens. I was excited and nervous at the same time. I couldn’t wait to use this lens after the reviews I have seen, but on the other hand with some of the supposed quality control issues at Nikon I was …
Sometimes all it takes to get some photo shooting time in is a little creativity. Last saturday I took a friend back to his house in Lake Shastina and was going to have a half hour or so to wait before heading back to my house. Knowing this I took my camera along to get some …
So here are the remaining photos that I took on our hike a few weeks ago. I loved the reflections the trees made in the lakes, and all the wildflowers that were still in bloom. Still learning to which aperture gives me the look I like when I am doing close-ups of flowers. I like the large …
A few weeks ago I went with my son and the boy scouts on a campout to Deadfall Lake and Mt. Eddy. The pictures in my last post were of the scouts themselves. I am in the process of going through the pictures I took for “fun” that weekend. This is the first of two installments of …
