Getting Ready for 4th of July Fireworks on the Beach

I forgot my tripod last night when we went out on the beach for the 4th of July fireworks at Sea Island so I didn’t capture and fireworks pictures, but was able to get some good family shots.

Martin Luther King Jr Grave Site

This week Henry and I made a visit to the King Center to do some research for his upcoming class project.  Here is a shot of the grave site where Dr Martin Luther King Jr and his wife Coretta Scott King are buried.

Weekly Photo Challenge Week 43 Blue

This week the subject of the Shutterboo Weekly Photo Challenge is “Blue“.  Back during week 18 I was lucky enough to use Ben and all of his curly red hair for the subject “Red”.  This week it was Henry’s turn.  When he was a baby the ladies at daycare called him ” the boy that never blinks” because he has huge blue eyes and like they said, he rarely blinks.  We sat on the back porch this evening as the sun was setting and I got some shots of him with my 50mm 1.8.  I cropped out most of his face to emphasize his eyes.

Up until this point I have been shooting primarily in P (Program) or A (Aperture) modes…  Today I graduated to M (Manual) mode and it all clicked.  All of a sudden it just made sense.  This week I also started shooting mainly RAW shots and using Adobe Lightroom 3 for post processing.  Lots to learn and so much fun.  Hope you like it.

Swimming at Chastain Pool

Last weekend we took our new GoPro out for a spin at Chastain Pool. We had a lot of fun trying it out and getting some underwater footage.

Timelapse Compilation of Sunrise and Weather

Here is a video compilation of time-lapse videos out of our front window. Our house faces East so we get great sunrises and a consistent look at clouds and storms moving through.

Sunset over the Chattahoochee River

Here is a picture of the sun tonight as it began setting over the Chattahoochee River in Atlanta. This shot was taken from the East Palisades Trail of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area looking west to Cobb Parkway as it crossed the Hooch.
