Fall Contest Entry

The title is "Season of Death." It's kinda dim. But so's the picture. Leaves are dying and falling off the trees, summer is leaving. So I was trying to kind of convey that feeling of loss with this picture.

Sadie In Mom's Arms

This is my submission for the Pet's Contest. I couldn't post it on sp365 due to the fact that I already posted my picture for today. Hope this one does well!

Air Walking

Below are pictures that accompany Day 176. The first was the product of the original "abduction" idea. The second one is another 2 favorites, representing having faith in what you cannot see. The third is just cool. Full view 'em up please.

Fireworks

These were taken on July 4th along with Day 176. The first two are my favorites, and i was going to post the blue and yellow duo as my POTD, but was convinced otherwise by my parents, grandparents, and friends.

Horses Jumping

These were taken on Day 169 at a horse show. The horse on two legs looks pretty funny, and was almost my picture of the day... The other two are just more pictures that turned out well from the batch of 400. I especially like the last one, where the horses tail is flared up. Now I want see a horse do an actual handstand. I mean sure they can jump, but where are the acrobatics!?

Pancake Breakfast

I know, neither of these pictures have anything to do with pancakes or breakfast, but it's the only thing that unites them. I took them for Day 166, right after the annual pancake breakfast downtown. I like the first one for the dark sky, and intense reflection on the side of the building. I didn't know a daylight picture could look like that. The second one i like because its metal, and it's a flower. It's like an oxymoron.

Spider

I took these in Minnesota, my cousins caught them, i love the detail. Took these with my cousins off-camera flash, which inspired me to get my own for my b-day. I had the idea to post this after seeing Steph's picture on her blog.

Lightning

These were taken on Day 160, the best thunderstorm i have seen in ages.... all 16 years of my life.

Moonrise

Tonight was forcasted to be a huge moon.... so i went out on the rock and got some pictures. It turned out that moonrise looked alot like sunrise, it was really amazing.

Car

These are two pictures of my car taken on the day i got my license, and a ladybug on our local peach tree.

Trippin' Across Kansas

Haha, I just realized how much that title makes me sound like a stoner. I'm not :)

anyway, these were taken at my Grandma's house, in the middle of Kansas, and in northern Colorado respectively. The cows are what my family and I call "oreo cows" and I'm sure you can spot why...

Gulls

This was taken at the same time as Day 143. I like it because of the two seagulls poses. It would make a good oil painting.

Summer fun!

Hello everyone. Just thought I'd tease you with my summer vacation!
Hehe ;)

I'm kinds sad I missed the car wash, but I think it was worth it for
the view I had today.

It picked up to about 70 degrees here in escanaba Michigan today. So
I've been out on the lake shore photographing seagulls. Its amazingly
scenic and peacful. And it remarkably resembles a corrona light
commercial :) The pic is of the view from here.

I havn't been able to update the blog lately due to the lack of wifi
at our cabin, but I promise on the second leg of my trip, when we'll
be in Minnesota I'll look through my multitude of pictures (about 10
Gb worth - so far) and post a few. I've taken about an average of
about 500 a day. Yesterday was a daytrip to mackinaw, the western
hemispheres longest suspention bridge, so I got about 800 pictures
around that area in northern Michigan.

I don't know how I'm going to sort through all of those, but it should
be fun. And yes, my memory cards are about to explode.

Dogs...

Haha, this is great. This was taken just moments after Sadie's perfect portrait for Day 133. Quite funny eh?

Deer

Oddly enough, this deer i saw crossing the street i lived on only had 3 legs! once-in-a-lifetime experience right there!

Abstract Singularity

Here are the out-takes from Day 116: Abstract Expressionism 2.0

Fox Run

This was taken on Day 107 in Fox Run Park. I really like the glassy reflection of the pagoda. This was just after the fountain shut off at 7:30, which I really didn't expect, so i packed up after that. This was one of the pictures I took on the way out of the park.

Old Timey Photograph

(the following is a joke, read the comments)
I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!!! this is a picture i found on flickr.com. It's labeled that it was taken around 1938 and scanned in 2005! it's almost the exact same as my Day 105 picture.

Snow

These are animations of the snow that fell 3 days ago and has melted off since.

Panning

These are some pictures from panning, as requested by "anonymous" and hey, i did this for you... so who are you?!? lol

Intimate

Well this is my out-take for Day 78 on my other blog, i regret having to not post it, but it lost the vote by just a bit, but I still really like it. comments?

Red Rolling Clouds

Yeah, well this is my first post in awhile over here. I'm glad i have this blog. it lets me keep all the extras i want to present to you guys separate from my 365 blog... anyway here is the video i promised for day 62:

I took 1165 Pictures today. Here are 54 of them. I my D80 on a tripod and took one picture every 2 seconds. It doesn't have a movie mode so i had to create the animation myself... Fun stuff. I contemplated putting only one up and having you imagine what the motion was like, but i didn't want to waste 1164 pictures. No, i do not know why it turned out red. the original pictures were blue. but it looks nice doesn't it?

Out-Take

I realized at 9PM last night that i didn't have a picture for the day, so i took about 100 pictures around the house trying to find something cool. This is one of the out-takes...
