trying...

I was out and about today and finally managed to get a few shots. I have a current challenge that I am shooting for at www.fujimugs.com . The challenges there keep me going even when I am down. I hope to post something tonight or at least by the end of the weekend. Winter is coming and I plan to start some topic posts with images I have taken this summer and older if they fit. Topics like "Elwifes" or "Sugering" ... maybe "Trees" and such like that. At least it will keep me busy through the winter and hopefully give you something to look at. Sorry for the dry spell it will rain sprinkle soon.

Thanks for stopping by to look

Corn, pumpkins ... and a little horror

Fall, my favorite time of the year is in full swing. We took a ride this weekend to get some pumpkins and apples at Rocky Ridge Orchard over in Bowdoin Me. They also have a bakery and we ended up with a strawberry-rhubarb pie, some tiny apple cider doughnuts (I tried these ... oh wow!) and apple cider! They also had this year a "tent of horror" that consisted of both animated and non-animated Halloween horror characters. There was a horrible life size "baby" that caught my eye, so I took a shot and added a little horror of my own.

These are small images uploaded here as I have run out of space elsewhere so IQ is minimal

Getting motivated ...

I have been so busy with work and family that I have not been able to force myself to work on some editing. I have not even picked up the camera in a while. This past weekend I shot a few and have just now edited some of them. The first couple were taken at the New Meadows river where we stopped so the kids could collect some shells. As I shot the Quahog boat in the first shot I could hear and see something was chasing bait fish all over the little cove. After about 10 tries I got a shot ... not great but you can see fish in the air. The second shots were taken on the way to and at The Giants Stairs where we climbed around and I have many shots but I am having a hard time editing them. Here is what I have so far ...



A quahog boat ... if you look close there is one in use in the distance

Here are the bait fish that were taken just to the left of the scene above

This boat and crew were very photogenic I am glad I did not miss the opportunity

If I can figure out what I am doing wrong with the rest I will post more. Maybe I should take a class LOL

The Moon

When I can I try to shoot the moon. This is one of my better shots so far. I always hope that while I am shooting a meteorite impacts at the same moment :-D This is one of my better shots so far even though it is not at a great angle. The moon was low on the horizon hence the color.

Another trip to Bailey Island Me.

A few more from the weekend. This may have been the last swim trip for the season, I hear it will be chilly this weekend so who knows what I will be shooting.




Won't be seeing too many more of these guys either. This shot was saved from having a RAW file

Remnants of the hurricane

Just because I liked the color and texture

Remember this shot?

Here it is again!
