Weekend Reflections

Last January we were briefly at the Dallas Zoo with the grandkids and their parents - our kids 8-).  This pool at part of the lemur exhibit had a wonderful sky and trees reflection.

Check out other reflections at James' blog here.

Day 5 Black and White Challenge

I was nominated to participate in a 5 day Black and White Challenge by Rob Napola.  The object is to post one black and white photo every day for 5 days, and nominate another photographer to participate each of those days.  Today I nominate Debby Andreas.

Five Points South at dusk, Birmingham, Alabama.

Day 4 of the Black and White Challenge

I was nominated to participate in a 5 day Black and White Challenge by Rob Napola.  The object is to post one black and white photo every day for 5 days, and nominate another photographer to participate each of those days.  Today I nominate Terrie Broom.

Also, Bella's challenge this week for 52 Photos Project is "Numbers," so I'm also using this for that.

Day 3, Black and White Challenge

Day 3 of the Black and White Challenge.  Rob posted an urban decay shot, so I thought I would do a rural decay shot.  Shelby County, Alabama.

Day 2, Black and White Challenge

The Canada Geese have taken over some of the small lakes around here.  Sometimes there are hundreds of them at a time, especially when someone feeds them every day like at Star Lake in Hoover.

Day 2 of The  Black and White Challenge: I was nominated by Rob Napola.  The theme is to post one black and white photograph every day for five days and nominate another photographer to play along each day.  Today it is Scott Cobb's day to be nominated.

Day 1, Black and White Challenge

Day 1.

Morris Avenue is a cobblestone street right in the middle of downtown Birmingham and is a great place to shoot.  Many engagement photos and other portraits are shot there.  Our Catchlight small group was there to practice some night portrait procedures, but I also liked the scenery, sans people.

The Black and White Challenge:  I was nominated by Rob Napola.  I'm usually a colorful guy, so this could be a challenge 8-).  The theme is to post one black and white photograph every day for five days and nominate another photographer to play along each day.  Art Hummel, you are the next victim of the 5 Day Black and White Challenge. Let's see what you've got. 

Moon and Stars

Bella's challenge this week at 52 Photos Project is "Star." Here's my interpretation, shot Monday evening from "Star Lake" in Hoover, Alabama while out with our Catchlight photography small group from church.

Okay, I have a pretty good camera, but it isn't that good.  The stars are from one exposure and the moon another.  I overlaid the moon to hide the blown out one in the shot where the stars were visible.  But hey, it's more like what my eye sees.
