Watching the Sunrise

This week I'll focus on some recent photography opportunities I've had lately... I'm trying to work on my capture of sunrises. I've said before I've only had a few sunrise/sunset photographs I've liked. What I'm finding is the moment of watching the sunrise is way better than any picture! And maybe I'll come away with … Continue reading Watching the Sunrise

Lake Monticello Panoramic Views

The other morning I was out at Lake Monticello and posted this post from that trip.

Almost Another Missed Opportunity

In life I enjoy getting to take a photograph especially of wildlife. I keep my camera most days in my backseat (except for this post from last week).

Levee Drive

I mentioned in my post yesterday a drive I recently took in the evening along the Mississippi River levee. This is the same drive I've taken several times and usually see quite a few photography opportunities. My struggle with these photo was the light was decreasing.
