I have no idea what to name this post... These are a couple pictures I took tonight in North OKC. :)

If you look really closely... the bluish tinted spot is actually lightning. It didn't show up very well :)

Blanchard Springs Caverns

When we were in Arkansas this last weekend we went and toured Blanchard Springs Caverns with my Bother and Sister in Law and Niece :) Here are a few pics.... not of us. :)

Annnnd this is my first post from my new computer...

Its taken a bit to get used to but out of the 3 Operating systems that I've used as my main OS I have to say that Mac OSX pretty much beats them all :)


The ceiling of the cave :)


The bats were awesome!




The falls where they come out of the caverns

Lightning & Storm

Took some pictures of a short thunderstorm on Friday morning.

The Donkey

A couple shots of my brothers new donkey... new as in like 2 days old ;)


And some shots of the sunset ... enjoy!

Full Moon

About a week ago there was full moon and way it lights everything is always pretty awesome so I thought I'd do some experimental shooting with the moon as my only light source. Here is the result. Pretty boring really but I learned a lot. I shot everything with 5-10 sec shutter and f/1.4

This surprised me because I guess I expected less color. In a full moon everything seems a bit colorless to the human eye... But after thinking about it... it really actually makes sense with along exposure. It actually brings out a lot of color and leaves very dark shadows which makes for great contrast.


Love the contrast it created in the trees


I really wanted to go back the next night and try to shoot some portraits but there were clouds. NEXT full moon ... I'm doing a portrait shoot at midnight ... Anyone want to model???

Okay so while I was uploading these I was playing with my camera and an old wide angle adapter I have... so I had to share this pic ;)

Kids

This is a my 103rd post!!!!! haha that number has no significance... I didn't say it at 101 so I thought I'd say it now.... not that 101 has any significance either.... just sayin :P

Anyways.... This was a really fun shoot... Check it out! Harley and Montana :)

I let them play with my gear some :) Took two of these with my phone

Hot Glass
