04 05 2010 - Photo Drive

When I need to de-stress and relax, I like to go on long photo drives. This was a quick during lunch drive and I found an obscure road with a nice bridge over this scene. All the green is a bit much, but that is why I like it.

04 04 2010 - Easter

Meet my nephews, Will and Joseph, and my niece Colleen. They were my little models on Easter morning when I got this picture.

04 03 2010 - Chimney Rock

Here is Chimney Rock at Lake Martin on an oddly quiet day. This summer it will very busy here and I may be able to get a picture of someone taking a dive off the rocks.

04 02 2010 - Sunset 2

Here is how the light bounced back against the clouds after it ducked below the horizon. Amazing

04 02 2010 - Sunset 1

Here is a dramatic sunset...check out the next post and what happened after the sun went down.

04 01 2010 - And again...Oooppppssss

Sorry I missed again :)

03 31 2010 - Punch

I love this picture of my parent's dog Punch. His brother and long time companion had passed away before I grabbed this picture of him. His eyes were so expressive, I just love how he looks.

03 30 2010 - Old Building

This abandoned building mars downtown Montgomery, but there is something about it that always grabs my attention. It is just so messy.

03 29 2010 - Oops...I missed again!

No one said a 365 Photo blog would be easy!  I missed again :(

03 28 2010 - Tebow

Not a great picture, but I can not post one dog and not the other! These are my parent-in-law's children.

03 28 2010 - Spud

Getting doggies to pay you attention can be challenging, but that is the best part of using digital cameras - you can snap so many that would should get a good picture!

03 27 2010 - Simple Sailing

This is a simple fairly monochromatic photo, but I love the simplicity of it.

03 26 2010 - Sunset at Gantt Lake

I love sunset pictures. Setting up on a tripod and dragging your shutter speed can help you get enough light in to add a little depth to your picture.

03 24 2010 - At the Carwash

I don't know why, but I almost always have to pull my camera out when I am sitting in a car wash. It does not seem to make a great pic, so I do not know why I always do it. Hopefully this will be the only time I use one of these photos. Lesson to self - stop taking pictures of car washes and fire ;)

03 23 2010 - Behind on Reading

Okay, I am noticing a theme here - more books ;) Here is my bedside reading stack....I may be a little behind, but notice what is on top - it is my camera manual. This is always a great read. If you get a DSLR camera, make the manual part of your bedtime reading because you will be amazed how many tools are crammed in that little machine.

03 21 2010 - It's a Train...or not

The best part about a detour is that sometimes you come across things you other wise would not. This 'train' is one such example. While on a trip back from North Carolina, on a long interstate detour, my parents and I came across this old building that has been 'done up' to look like a train. Very creative!

03 20 2010 Fallon

This is my second cousin, Fallon Griffin. This picture was taken is a busy living room while she was being held by my mother. I got as close as I could with my 50 mm fixed and snapped this of her. I had my SB600 flash off to the side which lit just her and darkened the background.

03 19 2010 - Granddaddy

I got this picture of my Granddad when he was sitting outside enjoying his swing. He just watched me as I walked around snapping pictures. He seemed to enjoy having me take his picture. I love the simplicity and I may convert this to a simple black and white one day.

03 18 2010 - Hmmmm did I miss again

I did not think I missed the 18th, but...I sure can't find a pic for it.  Hmmmmm better check the point and shoot.

03 17 2010 - Sida in her Snuggie

Sida in her Snuggie, can I say anything else about this?
