Looks like spring is here

Well it looks like we are getting well into the warm sunny weather.  I thought I’d spend some time taking a few pictures today.  I went out and found a few great scenes and captured some great flowers.

Here you have them._MG_1868

First post with a photo taken on the new lens

Foggy-Day

Well, now that I’ve introduced you to my new lens, I’ll show you what it can do.  I took these early the other morning and used some sweet Photoshop magic to stitch them together.  I was in the North Logan benches when I took it and I love what the fog does, but you have to see the whole width to really take it in.  So give it a click and zoom in to see how cool it is.

Speaking of photo equipment

So my brother and I were poking around the house. We came across this.  It is the camera I learned Photography on.  It’s a Canon AE-1 they built them between 1976-1984 so I don’t know exactly how old it is but it is still pretty sweet.

There you have it.  What got me started down this crazy road.

It’s Here

Well folks, I just thought I’d let you see the glory of my new lens.  I picked up a Canon 17-85 MM USM lens.  IT is much better than my kit lens in quite a few ways, but most importantly it makes my camera look even cooler.  So here are some great shots.IMG_7677

In a dream, in a place of the far reaches of this mind

Well this is a picture I have wanted to take for a long time, one with water that looks soft and dreamy.  So I went up to Logan Cave and caught a few.  I’m really happy with them.  I am going to find some more water and try it again sometime.

Sorry for the long wait since the last post, finals week was insane but now it’s over and I can get going on more picture time!

They will see us waving from such great heights

It may be raining; but that still makes for great pictures.  I took this one up at 1st Dam.  Water is tough because it’s hard to know exactly where to focus.  With that I’ll leave you to the picture.

Everyday I wake I tell myself a little harmless lie: The whole wide world is mine.

 

Well, I had so many Hawaii pictures that I liked I decided to do another post of them.  Here are some more, the top is the same sunset but about tem minutes earlier.  The others are from the grounds around a lighthouse.IMG_6708

I have some new photo shoot ideas, I just need some people with keys to let me into some locked places.  As soon as I get that I will post some of my current works that are going on in my brain.

If I had my own world I'd love it for all that's inside it.

Well, today’s post is dedicated to Nick-face . . .and the Angels and Airwaves song in the title. Nick rides the train everyday (and he is sitting right here) and so I decided to put this picture of the Logan train station up that I took about a month ago (even though he doesn’t go to the Logan station). Trains are definitely awesome and maybe someday we will get the Frontrunner all the way up here. Well adios.

There is no charge for awesomeness, or attractiveness.

Well, I’m patiently awaiting springtime so I can take some great new pictures. Meanwhile, I dug up some pictures from Spring Break a few years ago.  They were taken on my A620 but they still came out good and Lightroom made them great.

This is a waterfall that came every morning after the rain, by noon it was gone but you could count on it the next morning.

. . . Sunset, pretty self-explanatory.

But all the colors mix together – to grey

Well folks, I spent some time with the camera yesterday and came out with this happy little picture. I’ll do less talking and let the picture take this one.
