Kodak Gallery - Live Forever

I am still in the process of catching up on my blog. Oh, I should never have gotten behind. I am putting the pics in date order and will have them up soon.

Until then, I thought I would post one of my favorite videos that conveys many of the reasons I am so passionate about photography. Why I am always the advocate of prints, and sharing them with friends, family, loved ones and the world!
Very motivational ending "keep me, protect me, share me and I will live forever".

Enjoy, and let this Kodak video rekindle your passion and love for photograhy, images and prints.

More rust

Everyone who knows me knows I love rusty things. The rustier the better. The textures, colors and altered shapes within the rust is beautiful. Here is a piece off of an old railcar that is out in the country sitting in an old field. Abandoned and alone. Well, not any more. I will be visiting that railcar (actually it is an old caboose) many more times.

Escape of the Gummy Worms

These are the yummy sour gummy worms. I love the colors, and I espcially love how sour they are!

The images are nearly identical. I closed down the aperture on the second one to gain a little more dof in the foreground and background. I wanted to see if the blur in the front of the image takes away from the 'escaping worm' focus and exactly where the eye was drawn to. In my opinion it didn't make much difference.
I had taken several images ranging from f1.8 - f16. I didn't care for the images that displayed the entire image in clear focus. They were boring and had no character.

Winter is nearly over...finally.

Oh, how I long for Spring and Summer to arrive. Green everywhere, warm weather, interesting landscapes and the warm sunshine on my face.
This image is definitely far from that! I was out searching for old barns, and ran out of luck. Sometimes it is luck of the draw as to which direction you decide to 'road trip'. Today, we went in a direction that held NOTHING visible, nothing interesting for miles and miles.
Oh well. The road trip was fun. :-)

A drive out to the lake...

One of the lakes near here, a day before the snowstorm we just had. It was 65 degrees this day, and snow, ice, wind, winter storm warnings and 10 degrees the next. Good ol' mother nature...

I love reflections. These trees and a few clouds were reflecting beautifully off the water.
