Zinnias At Sunset

There's a couple main reasons I garden. The first is because the peace and beauty out there is immeasurable. The second reason I garden is because I grew up working in the garden. It "takes me back". (Not to mention I love the taste of fresh vegetables!) The other evening I was working in the … Continue reading Zinnias At Sunset

Fall Plantings

I mentioned yesterday working on my fall garden. As I've also mentioned here that I have a surgery coming in about a month. My goal is to have the garden ready by then. I've started some seeds in my seed starting tray and planted some late warm season cover crops. In this I have planted … Continue reading Fall Plantings

The Silage Tarp

I'm trying to get a fall garden ready. One of my favorite tools in the garden is my 30'x40' silage tarp I bought several years ago from Hoss Tools. It's a great tool for covering a large spot of ground where you want to start a garden and let the sun get rid of the … Continue reading The Silage Tarp

Go Tell Peter!

This is nothing but a repeat of what was with the post yesterday. I write out the weekly encouragements for myself and hope you get some encouragement from it too!

On this type of setup I ran my camera with my cable release for about an hour then stitched the photographs together using Photoshop. It is a bunch of photographs but I enjoy … Continue reading Star Trail Photography

Watching The Sunrise (surprise!)

On Friday morning I like to go out to Lake Monticello to walk and take photographs. This past Friday was overcast so I did not even get my camera out but just walked close the truck in case it rained. As I walked I saw some light on the Eastern horizon and thought it might … Continue reading Watching The Sunrise (surprise!)

Long Exposure Photography With Moon Light

A few mornings ago I went for some more long exposure photography with a decent amount of moonlight over me. This was at Lake Monticello. I tried (not crazy about the results) some light painting from the dock too.

Photographing The Milky Way

The posts this week will follow the common theme of long exposure photography again. I setup for a special type of combined photo (which I'll post Thursday). Before I left to go home I turned my camera to grab a photograph of the Milky Way. This is the setup I mentioned in last week's encouragement. … Continue reading Photographing The Milky Way
