A couple of weeks ago I bought a .25x fish eye converter and a 18-55 Canon kit lens. While shooting the Steven Nowak 39th Birthday All BMX Riding Old Man Video Extravaganza (and Mini Mart) I took a few snaps. I’m not sure if I’ve really got a handle on it yet, specifically how it reacts to my camera’s autofocus and metering. Anyway, here’s a couple attempts at doing something good…and failing.

We’ve officially entered into the rainy season in Georgia. I dunno, for some reason when I look at this shot I feel like I should be chased by an axe murderer or or a Blair Witch or that chick with the giant bazoombas from “Paranormal Activity.” (spoiler)

I live an almost completely “i” free life. I use a Windows PC. I have a Windows Phone. I even deleted iTunes from all my machines after they installed Safari to my machine as part of an iTunes “upgrade.” All day, every day this is my one, true friend, a 120 GB, second generation Zune.
It’s been a while since I’ve picked up a camera and to be sure I’m not certain I should have this time. However, The Mrs. and I took a quick trip up to Blue Ridge and I saw choo choos…BIG choo choos. Even thought my photography bag is people, I couldn’t help but whip out the P&S and grab some snaps. I’ve forgotten more about the rule of thirds than I ever knew. Also it was a good 20 degrees colder there, which is to say that I dressed for 55 and got 35 instead. It’s a wonder any of these weren’t quivering messes.
The Mrs. proclaimed that these are the coolest chairs she's ever seen and they smell good too. I can neither confirm nor deny either of those claims.
During "The Season" this train is busy showing people around the area. Now it's just sitting there, waiting for people to take bad photographs of. Rail level view.
I’ve always been interested in time lapse photography, but time lapse takes, well, time and patience. Mostly it takes lots and lots of patience, which is something I wasn’t gifted with. That being said, I spent the last week in Harrisburg, PA visiting my in-laws. There’s not much to do when you’re the passenger in a car driving through Virginia the long way. So, I set up my little Samsung in interval mode and shot out the window until the battery died.
Here you go, folks, I drove through Virginia so that you don’t have to.
I work right about where Atlanta ends and rural Georgia begins. The cool part about this is at lunch I can hop in my car and look around for stuff to shoot. Came across this old house with a barn and stuff in back (and a view over the tops of the clouds out front).
