Wall Clock

Wall Clock

Here is my submission for this week's photo challenge "Time Piece" with fellow blogger Ed.

I have been wanting to Shoot this clock in my living room for a while. I tried several combinations of external lighting for this shot and was not happy with any of the results.

I gave up and went down to the PC to review the photos. After doing some post processing I decided to change the image to black and white.

Check out Ed's blog to see how he interpreted the challenge.

Love That Bokeh

Love That Bokeh

What is Bokeh? Bokeh refers to the appearance and quality of the out-of-focus area in an image produced by the camera lens.

This is a picture of my Brother's daughter. She is just so adorable and made for an easy photographic subject. Picture was taken on my parents driveway and the gave great contrast as a background.

Jet Stream Blue

Jet Stream Blue

This is a shot of my Dad's 2008 Jet Stream Blue Corvette. What a car, it has 436HP and uses it to achieve acceleration unlike anything I have every experienced. It brings a smile to your face every time you mash the accelerator to the floor.

Comparing this 2008 to an 1986 My Dad used to own Chevrolet has come along way in its build quality, material quality and overall fit and finish. Not to mention bringing its performance in competition with super cars like Ferrari and Lamborghini all while keeping it under $70K.

Go Chevy!

Rusted Bridge

This weeks photo challenge with my fellow photographer Ed from Ed's Photography was to capture a photo of a Bridge!

Rusted Bridge

I changed the photo to Black and White. I think it helps with the trees in the background that are not in focus. I enjoy how the lines of the bridge lead you down to a central focal point.
