Tractors

 




These are pictures taken at a local power show over the summer.  They were edited using Lightroom to give an aged/old look.

Summer Flowers

Here is a brief sampling of the photography I have been doing this summer.  Flowers, droplets, and spiders have been some of my favorite subjects (as you can see).  Check out my flickr (link to the right) for a larger sampling!





Paul McCartney Up and Coming Tour 2011

Here is a sampling of pictures taken as we followed Paul McCartney across the Midwest for his On the Run concert tour.  These were all taken in Cincinnati at the Great American Ballpark where we were fortunate enough to have GREAT floor seats!

Macro


Dandelion


Some yellow flowers (sorry I cannot remember what it is)


Another Dandelion


Franklin D. Turtle's nose (yes, that is his name)

Creepy Crawly Spiders



This spider was crawling inside of my curtains until I flicked him outside.  It was then that I realized this would be a good opportunity to get some macro pictures.  These are taken with a Canon 100mm f2.8 USM lens with three Kenko tubes.  The second picture was not as clear as I had hoped so I added some antique toning to mask that because his detail is still pretty interesting.  He was about the size of my pinky fingernail (and quite quick... and creepy).

Water Droplets on Tulips






These pictures were taken the day after our visit to the Tulip Time Festival.  I walked out the door this morning to get the newspaper and found the tulips beautifully covered in water drops.  These could be some of my favorites pictures I have taken (to date).

Tulip Time Festival 2011











A selection of images from the Tulip Time Festival in Holland, MI.  This was at Veldheer Tulip Farm where they have over 5.5 million tulips!

What better excitement than spring flowers (and warm temps to go along)?

There's a horse in our backyard?!?

Okay, so what better picture for April fools than one of a "wild saddled horse" in our backyard? Quite random and weird!

I love ducks and it was about time I photographed some!

What is that under the mulch? Why I believe it is the first flowers of spring!

I have not forgotten about this project as I have still been taking pictures, however, I am experimenting with how I go about this project.
