The Bride and I went out last night to test drive my Powershot S3’s long exposure capabilities. Here is one I like and I hope you do as well.

Child’s Play
I discovered this toy on a walkabout a few weeks ago. I have played around with a few ways of showing it off so indulge me in a little child’s play!
Just for the record I left the toy where I found it in case the owner came back for it 🙂
Cruisin’ Time Again
With the dog days of Summer upon us it can only mean one thing: It’s Cruisin’ Time! I have an affection for old cars and trucks so I am looking forward to the varies Cruises coming up here soon. In that spirit I started looking at some of my past shots. I am trying to get better at composing a photo when there is a crowd around. So I figured looking back was a way of planning ahead and being forward leaning. I found the photo below (A HDR merge I did several months back) I took when there was no one around and like it but the question I had was a simple one: How can I replicate this when cars are parked side by side AND people are in the mix. The answer is simple as well:I have no idea!
Well till the next time enjoy this really cool old car!
Not What It Seems Part II
I took a picture of these roses and some may think they were shot outside but…
…they were on the table next to ours at a restaurant last night!
Not What It Seems
This leaf looks as if it is floating on water or maybe even trapped in ice….
but I took it as it was laying out in the rain on a paved blacktopped driveway.
More Fun With Effects
I have had fun playing with photo basic effects on some of my photos lately. I have included the original this time for comparison. Enjoy!
An Old Hinge On Our Old Barn
Since trying HDR merging I must say it is a rather fun, and cool, effect. Here is my latest: An old hinge on our old barn in HDR. Enjoy!
Gazing Globe For Effect
I was reviewing my post this evening when I noticed something: The caption I used to explain the posts title was missing. In my rush to post last night I did not preview, it because Chrome does not allow this for some reason, and I also did not manually save it either. I need try to be more aware of the technologies short comings as well as its many pros. Now to rectify last nights short coming.
I have not had many new photo opportunities lately. I decided I was going to sort through some old shots and A) Post “new” old shots till better conditions arise for me to pursue new photo ops. B) Play with effects more.
The above shot is of the later category. I hope you enjoy it as much I as did slogging through a new adventure in tech for me.
Something Different Just For Effect
I took a picture of my cup holder and its contents some time ago. It turned out well but I had no real place to use it. What to do? How about using photo editing tools to liven it up some and present it as something different just for effect? Sounds great to me so here it is. Enjoy!
Self-Portrait On My Fiftieth
There has been very few new photo-ops for me as of late. I have been somewhat busy getting the house ready for the approaching winter. Oh, and working. A lot. Today I had planned on chasing the last of Autumns colors and take a nice walkabout with The Bride on this my Fiftieth Birthday. That did not happen because I had to work due to inventory. The upside is I have a job and the house is ready as it can be for the soon the be here winter. The down side is I have no recent images to post.
So what is a person supposed to do? Since winging it is my default mode, here is a self-portrait of how most people see me. For all of my followers out there, both of you, here is my self-portrait. Enjoy!
