    OOPS!!! Not the one I meant to post, LOL I agree, the one that accidentally made it up here I didn't like either. Here's the one of the communion gear I meant to post. STILL not the greatest for this prop, but it is what it is. I have a couple of others, but they are "misplaced" at the moment.

    Egads, the hours of editing... taking a break to post a few more of the wedding photos! 1st rule - Always know where the bride is and catch the funny faces when dad is cracking a joke! ...of course, the groomsmen are always up to something. I was told that brides like to remember every...

    Had a BLAST catching shots of the "little ones" during the wedding! :) These were as they arrived, waiting outside... First, the arrival of the cutest little lady around! A "formal" introduction. :) Getting some help with accessories. Then these two studs. I asked for a "mean mug"...

    Ok, honeymoon is over, the main photographer has delivered his pics, and I have permission to share some of the shots I captured as "2nd", or the "Candid Shooter." First, just because it was funny to see, and fun to capture, shots of the other photographers in action. Both the main shooter...

    And now we interrupt your regular programming, which involves a few more lunchtime shots of geese (and the like) to bring you today's artistic venture, "Urban Autumn". Each shot in this series was captured with the AF-S 50mm 1.8G There are so many shots, this time of year, of beautiful...

    About once a week, I flip over a large dog house in the back yard and look for interesting things underneath. In the spring, it's usually grass snakes and roly polies, in the summer it's usually spiders and centipedes, and at the beginning of fall it's usually slugs... but THIS week, I found a...

    Artistic eye, or obsessed photographer? Shooting pics of the geese at LaFortune Park, I saw this on the side of a big drainage ditch nearby, and it was my fave subject of the short lunch trip. LOL 1 with selective color, the other in full color glory, with just a touch of vignette.

    Decided I'd run down to my local park hangout for some shots of the geese, since they're comin' in by the gaggle... This is usually where I go to get some pics of the Great Tailed Grackle, too, but they were all strangely absent today. Horribly overcast day, but I just dialed up the right ISO...

    Last of the Arkansas pics for a bit... Here's the cabin we stayed in for 4 days, 3 nights. And a small pond not too far from the cabin. I got a chance to catch a nice reflection! :) There were lots of trails to walk, and if you ever got lost, there was always a way to quickly find your...

    How about some "artistic" shots from the hills? :) Ok, I might have staged this one... a pine cone on one of the logs used to build our cabin. The rest were NOT staged. ;) I just came across them as I wandered one morning. Starting with one of the lights from the ceiling fan out on the...

    More "critter" shots from the hills of Arkansas... A carpenter bee, workin' the wood. ...and a honey bee, gatherin' the good. These yellow bugs were everywhere! Here in camouflage... ...here, not so much. And a wee little something gathering goodness from some wee little flowers...

    How about a little bit of "exposure" photography? :) I started out trying to capture some of the night sky and Milky Way with the kit lens. 18mm, wide open at f3.5, ISO 400 and trying HARD to focus to infinity with the not so easy to adjust manual focus. The first 2 were right around 50...

    Here's a few from Jasper, AR. Just random scenes that caught my eye as I wandered the tiny little town... This one just "felt" better as a B&W. Former prison converted to something a bit less dark? Then the next few were from my ride through the twistier sections of Scenic Highway 7...

    What’s Your Color Vision Deficiency? Take the Test.

    Tough test, but I'm happy with the result for using the bad LCD screens at work. ;) I'm SURE I could have been better on the 27" iMac. LOL ​

    Wedding!?

    So... I've been in this photography "hobby" for about 9 months, had a couple of classes, and one of the guys who I look up to as the "best" photographer I've ever come across messaged me today and asked to "hire" me as a "second perspective" shooter during the wedding ceremony for one of his...

    A few more taken as I was wandering around, a couple of which were still on the Buffalo River, and a couple from a walk in the small town of Jasper, AR. 1st, a couple of folks near and dear to my heart soakin' their tootsies in the water. ;) Attempt to "freeze frame" skipping rocks... I...

    Couple more edits from the Arkansas trip: The 1st set, just a couple of "scenic" shots from an area we found to get near the Buffalo River. NO IDEA what this was, but we found it in the sand where the river normally flows when it's not so low. Glad I didn't step on it! Found a little...
