OK... My First entry. for this month. Civil War Reenactment at Montpelier, the home of James Madison(4th US president) 50mm f/8.0 iso 200 11 seconds

I've been offered an interesting proposal and don't know what to do. Some friends of mine participate in Civil War Reenactments on most weekends during the summer. First weekend in August, they will be near Montpelier Va (home of James Madison). On Saturday, there will be Night firing of the...

I've got literally hundreds of these types of shots. All from the same airshow. In this case, 5 shots from the same pass, and a different obstacle in every shot.

I finally did it. I've been trying to convince the boss for a new camera for well over a year now. First with the D7000 and then the D7100. Nothing worked so I changed tactics. Instead of asking for $1500, I asked for $250 to buy a lens. She agreed and I placed an order for the 50mm F/1.8G...

Third and final entry for me. Nothing like waiting until the last minute.

Ok, here's my "Second" shot for the contest. I've been taking pictures of flowers and to me they look good in color, but really crappy in B/W. I decided to think outside the box (or bag as you can see) The title says flower, but it could have been a typo... Hence.. Flour. Oh yea. I had...

After seeing all the Awesome shots you guys put up already, I almost didn't post this one. First time in a long time I've ventured out of my comfort zone, and went to some soccer games my grand daughters were playing. I stumbled across these little things (I think it's a daisy but not sure)...

I took a short walk today. When I say short, I mean really short. I'm limited to about 50 yards before having to take a break. I made it to the edge of the woods though and everywhere you look you can see the cicadas. I had the wife go get the camera for me.

The Purge of the east coast right now... The 17 year Cicada. Their song gets so loud at times it will drive you crazy.

I shot these last summer at a small cemetery near here. This section honored the Confederate soldiers.

The Humble Dogwood Blossom. Taken two weeks ago so they're all gone till next year.

I debated over whether to post this. By my standards, I consider it a good effort. Your standards may be different. I'm really not looking for "What's Wrong" with it, I'm looking for suggestions on how to improve on it the next time I try this. It's a 5 shot (focus) stacked photo F9.0...

We had an Albino Groundhog here last summer. She and her five pups were moved deep into the forest for their protection. As a second thought I guess I should share.

Decided that since I'll be around all four of my Grandkids plus a niece and a nephew on Easter weekend that I'd try and do some fun photography. Sprung the bucks to "Rent" the Sigma 8-16 wideangle. Should provide for some interesting effects. I rented it for a week starting next wednesday, so...

My wife is a habitual QVC shopper. I try (to no avail) to explain to her that not all QVC deals are that good. Example I used is the D600 http://www.qvc.com/Nikon-D600-SLR-with-24-85mm-VR-Lens-DSRL-Bundle-Search-Results.product.E263925.html BHPhoto for the same rig Nikon D600 Digital Camera...

Normally, I just let winter storm comments slide. Here in my area of western Virginia, we get snow. Sometimes we get a lot of snow. Usually it's here and then gone in a few days. Last Night/Todays storm is no different. What was different is that we lost power for about 15 hours. Our power...

You know? We had an old frog that camped out near our basement door for about 6 years. Back in 2011, a hurricane came up the east coast (I think it was Irene). Anyway this old frog knew the hurricane was coming and took measures to protect itself in an old (unused) planter near there. I sat...

Here in the hills of Virginia, the noon temperature is 23F. (-5C) Not sure what the wind chill is. We had a minor snowfall last night (about 2") making driving hazardous. I say hazardous because a lot of people here think that having 4WD means they can go 60mph on ice and snow. I just take...

The Myans blew it on Dec 21... Christmas ended on Ded 25... It's Time To Party. A short bit of time after this shot, I dropped a ball as a reward for poor Dakota after having endured this harassment. My only entry for this contest because I couldn't get out for just photographs. All I shot...
