Bridge Reflections

While looking for an image with a nice looking histogram I can used for an example for a Photoshop course I'm developing, I took a look at this image from late August. Wasn't too sure I liked this image but keep coming back to it.

Moon Rise


Missed shooting the harvest moon by one day, it was last evening, September 15th. So I went out this evening to see what I couls get and here's the result. Not much of a foreground, but still an interesting image.

Looking Down


While walking around downtown this morning before work, I was looking for something interesting to photograph. I don't often look down, but for some reason, this morning I did. Here's the result.

Bike Race Too

While looking for examples of direct flash photographs to use for my workshop presentation, I was reviewing some flash photos I had taken during the bike race in Rochester in early August when I came across this rather strange image. It almost works.

Workshop Dry Run

Yesterday afternoon I had a dry run of my "Using Your digital SLR" workshop. Seven friends attended, a lot more than I thought world show up. Thanks to all who came and sat through the material. It went very well. I got some great feedback, I've added one short section to the material, I was able to answer all questions, participants contributed to discussions providing additional perspective on various topics, and everyone had useful comments. I can't wait for the workshop to begin!!! It was so much fun to be teaching again. Two weeks from this Saturday!

Rainy Days and Thursdays

Got out this morning to go to Pleasant Street Coffee and The Villager. It was raining, the first rain we've had in a long time. So here's a photo of the rain on the passenger side window of my truck.

OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had set up a tripod in my living room yesterday morning to take a few photos of myself with a camera and off camera flash to use as an illustration for the Using Your Digital SLR workshop I'm developing. As I walked past the tripod, I went to far to the right and rammed the corner of the wall. I knew right away that I had broken the little toe on my right foot. It hurts!
