Poking my bald head back in here... have been away from shooting for a while, but feeding my never ending desire to shoot again, and this is the place with all the folks I'd grown to love and respect, so... HIYAS! It's been a bit, but in my off time, I managed to track down a gorgeous F3...

Oh, and did I mention I had a new grandbaby a couple of months ago? He's finally out of NICU, but still a long road ahead... mom and dad got to remove his feeding tube just a week or so ago, and this was his first pumpkin patch. I'm a proud POPS!!! I earned my first stern look for taking...

Well... since I was still sharing photos in my 2015 thread, I might as well start something different, eh? New business is in the books, Selective Focus Photography, LLC. New equipment in hand, new classes going on, wedding around the corner in a couple of weeks, jeep adventures, and new...

My hack job at eclipse shots. :cool: ALMOST there! This is when we started noticing it getting "dimmer" in our area. Caught some sunspots! Then I caught this one at our peak blockage. After this, I watched NASA's live feed online. See ya in 7 years!

Heavily cropped, got some sunspots at about 50%. :)

Then, just goofing around after an adventure today, me and my lady (Cassie), a B&W we shot right before the goof off pics, and one random GoPro pic I found from a recent wandering... See y'all on the flipside.

Not really a special pic or anything fancy in this one, but showing off my new toy while she was flying the flag last week... Is this where I say, 'MURICA?

The Jenks FD makin' friendly with the kids at FreedomFest this year!

The best camera in the world is the one you have with you when the opportunity for a shot presents itself, right? First, kids playing in a wonderfully lit up splash garden... I've always loved the oil paint filter in PS, and it helped anonymize the kiddos in the process, so here ya go...

...and a few more.

Still dabbling between "life moments". Here are a few blooms from around the house as I get used to the new D750 a bit more...
