One of the few bats that live in the woods behind our house.
This particular one made an erratic maneuver in the shape of a large swoop downwards.
His aim was straight towards me.
We both missed each other, but I believe it was for the best.
For I don't think we'd have made a good couple.

True story.

Nick...

I too got a job doing photos. The deal is I am contracted to Portland Parks & Recreation to photograph the Washington Park Summer Concerts Festival. I've been doing sound (stage hands work, set up tare down, load in, load out) there for the last four years with my dad, even though I'm contracted to the sound company. So this year I'm doing both! I do the sound job, set up and what not, then during the concert I'm covering the event with my lens(es)! It's a sweet deal, and this was a photo during the Portland Festival Symphony (hints the black and white uniform)

Mountains.

These are from my Mt. St. Helens trip last May 08. I found them sitting on my hard drive and edited them last night :)

"pretty soon, I don't know what, but something is going to happen"

(this is where I wish I had a 45mm or 90mm tilt-shift lens! I can totally see this shot being a million times cooler with one :p)







Whats the deal guys? No one has been posting or commenting on anything. Let's step it up a notch and get in the game! I noticed when we first started this community blog each post had like 2 + comments and we where posting way more often, lets start doing that again!

Brithday Cake

Sorry not much to say (I'm leaving to go fishing in like 5mins ago) other than that, this is indeed my birthday cake.
Yeah I know, but honestly this was the only edited photo I have from this past week.



And yes I am missing the watermark so...don't steal it until I get it on there.
Yeah you know who I'm talking about.

"Free Crap"

I was coming back from the store the other day, and saw this box that said (says) "Free Crap" and just had to get a photo. :) My dad and I were walking our new dog that same day and thought we should put some of his exes wast in the box, just for laughs :)

NP and I ventured down to the Rose Festival on Friday night. We had an A-mazing time, taking lots of photos, eating junkie food, meeting new people, getting lost, and having adventures!

Random shots taken with my (new) Canon 70-200mm

Last week, I bought my first canon L series lens. I did my home work on the 70-200mm I bought. I ended up getting the Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 L USM! It works so well, and it is substantially lighter in weight then the daddy in the 70-200mm family (70-200mm f/2.8 L IS) It is a little shaky at 200mm with out IS, but for $1150 more for the Image Stabilizer feature, I think I'll save my money and just be really steady. This lens handles lens flair really well, and having a constant aperture is really really nice. I have one other lens that is constant aperture and love it! I can't wait to do a real portrait shoot with it, I got it mainly for that reason and to use outdoors.

Hey guess what...

The Columbia River Gorge that's what!!!



These were taken from the Washington side. The first photo I was nearly hanging of the edge of a 1100ft cliff to get it! It was crazy! For reals too, just look at the little tiny house in the bottom right corner.

It was fun times!

All right-y then, I sort o' feel like talking.

Lately I've been reading this. So that's why you got the above and this. Before reading the landscape book, I'd never though to shoot landscapes with a super wide aperture. I've also been working on shooting more. When we go out and I do some shooting I'd usually get in around 50 shots. Now I'm pushing 150 -200 per shoot. So yeah I'm happy with that. But what I'm not happy about is the amount of space on my left on my hard drive.

So with that in mind, here's David duChemin's backup solution. I really like his setup, but I've got no where near the amount of cash to set that up. So for now I'll stick with burning my cd's.

Oh, Canon released a new Rebel series camera this week. The new "EOS REBEL T1i." It's Canon's version of Nikon's D90.(You know with video and all.) Which means since I got my XT 1 year and 3months ago, three I repeat 3 rebels series have been released. Plus this puts the Xti and XS on the outs. People are only going to buy the XSi with the live view and now the T1i. Amazon's already got it for pre-order. There's a bunch of other stuff I want to talk about with the T1i but I save it for my blog. :)

Other things of interest:

Tamron's releasing a new wide angle lens. It's gona' be sweet.

McDonald’s sponsoring a new group on Flickr. But you better read that fine print.

Will Tasha Ford finally get her video camera back? Um..yeah, there's three different links. So you can read the whole story.

What, Yahoo's CEO doesn't even use his most popular site?

Zach Arias' a critiquing. Warning you may feel really crudy towards your own photography. I know I did.

If your not reading Dave your missing out on some awesome photo's of NYC.

And if your not following Chase Jarvis on twitter or facebook. Do it.

And this...this is just unexplainable.
