The one (and only) nice thing about the overcast/fog was the light pink hue that came along with the rising sun. There was never any presence of direct sun light but it lit the clouds well enough to allow a little color to blast through.<br />
<br />
On another note, I have decided to transition to my own web hosting and blog set up, which will be completed sometime down the road. To ease the transition, I have moved this blog to another hosting site that is more customizable now and will allow me to have an easier transition once I make the move. The new URL is <a href="http://www.axphotography.wordpress.com">www.axphotography.wordpress.com</a><br />

<br />
Had some fun shooting some puddles after a day of very wet snow that never really amounted to any accumulation. Was left with some puddles in the roads and fast moving clouds as the sun began to lower in the west. I wanted to get as much of the sky in the reflections as I could but my standard tripod setup wouldn't allow me to get quite as low as I wanted, so I improvised.<br />
<br />
My tripod is a Manfrotto with Manfrotto ball head that can rotate 360 degrees. I extended the riser arm in the middle of the tripod from the vertical to the horizontal position (which you would typically do to get as close to ground as you could). How I changed this up was, I set my camera to where it was pointing slightly skyward and straight in line with the horizontal arm (directly away from the arm). I then rotated the head (not the ball) 180 degrees so that my camera was now upside down pointing slightly downward. Basically I was shooting upside down. I had the intention to flip the photo after I had taken it, but I kind of prefer the upside down appearance of this particular shot. Hope that made a little sense.<br />

Love the simplicity of the train system. Hop on board, relax and enjoy the ride. It may take twice as long as driving but they'll get you there. I've always wanted to take my boys on a day-long train ride across the state and back just for the experience. I hope to accomplish that in the future once they are a little older and would probably enjoy it more.<br />
<br />
Another shot from the dreary overcast morning this past weekend. I added the 'drizzle' effect from Phototools 2.6 to a second processed image to show what it was really like that morning but I decided not to post it today.<br />

Was ready to get out and get some train/track shots with the sunrise, but alas, the fog and drizzle wasn't going to allow it. Drizzle is not very much fun to shoot in. Have to clean your lens every 10 seconds or there is no point in even shooting. Walked away with about 7 sets of brackets. Will probably post most of those up this week. Hope everyone is off to a good start to their Monday.<br />

Managed to make it into work, but we'll see how that goes. So, I'm just going to make this quick today.<br />
<br />
This shot was one of the last ones taken the night I went down under the bridge. As you can tell the sun was quite a ways below the horizon at this point. I walked by this pillar twice and didn't notice the graffiti on it, but fortunately I caught it when I was setting up for another shot. Hope everyone has a great weekend.<br />

A photography buddy of mine is putting on a Lego Wars challenge every month. This is the first competition so I thought I'd take a crack at it. Was kind of fun to get Ethan involved with shooting. He came out on the road with me and helped me set them up and make sure they didn't fall over. It was quite fun. I had to buy a small starter set since I didn't have any around the house. I'm sure Ethan will like this idea since it will only add to his toy pile. Without further ado, here is my humble contribution.<br />

Continuing on with my bridge shots, this tag was one of the bigger ones I came across. Great color which was only aided by the light from the setting sun. You really have to love the soft light from the sun tucked away behind a layer of thin cirrus, especially during golden hour.<br />
<br />
This post is also my 100th since beginning this blog. They have really added up the past few months. I guess that will happen when you are posting a new picture almost daily. Never really planned on posting daily, but there is no question I wouldn't have had the motivation or encouragement if it weren't for fellow photographers that post amazing shots day after day. Many of these photographers can be found at the bottom of this page, with a few recent additions. Give them all a look, everyone of them are as skilled as they come. Cheers to the next one hundred...<br />

It's amazing to me how artistic some of these vandals are. I've tried to spray paint a chair and struggled with getting an even coat, let alone creating a work of art.<br />
<br />
Went with a little darker feel on this image. Felt the skull kind of deserved it. I want to get back out here sometime and try and capture a storm in place of the sunset. Figured some lightning mixed with the skull might look pretty sweet.<br />

However, Sunday was an awesome weather day. The wife and myself spent the day doing the year's first yard work. This included cutting down dead shrubs to allow the next years veg to grow. My wife had commented how well her hibiscus plants grew last year from her cutting them down so she did it again this year. Of course, it was my job to pick up all the dead material and haul it away. As I was picking up around the hibiscus, I noticed a little greenery already beginning to show up. Thought it looked pretty cool against all the dead material, so I grabbed a few stills.<br />
<br />
It's funny how you say to yourself - "I'm just going to grab a quick shot" or "a few brackets" and that is NOT at all what you do. I know for a fact my wife is not a fan of these words. I think I ended up with around 40-50 shots taken on this plant trying different apertures and angles. Especially considering it takes between 3-5 exposures per composition. Anywho, hope everyone is off to a great start to their week.<br />

Wasn't expecting it due the the thick cloud base near the horizon, but it opened up just in time to let some light through. I honestly think I missed the best light of this sunset by about 2-3 minutes, but I am happy with the result. Hope everyone has a great weekend with great light! Cheers....<br />

Found this discarded couch sitting in an empty field looking up at hundreds of cars passing by. I originally passed over the couch making sure I had plenty of time to hit every tagged structure along the bridge. I eventually made my way back later when the sun was low in the sky. This is essentially 180 degrees opposite of the sun with a prime view of the upcoming set (which was essentially a bust).<br />

Here's a little hint ...<br />
<br />
The real bummer is, there was another bulldozer that was closer to me than the one in this shot. I had image framed, leveled the camera, set the focus and was about ready to push the button when the darn thing starting pulling away. Either way, I thought it was pretty cool how the arrow and the 'doza' lined up so well.<br />

I was approached by many security guards asking if any pictures I was taking was going to be used in a magazine, because apparently that wasn't allowed at the Plaza in KC. And when someone asks me for direction because he doesn't know where he's going and then checks to see if I need a ride somewhere, really sets off the alarm in my head. Hope everyone's week is off to a great start.<br />

It was from the same photo walk around downtown GCK in the middle of the early a.m. If you ever want clear streets and nobody walking into your shot, that is the time to get out. Almost left this in color because I liked the orange hue from the street lights along with the construction lights, but ultimately I decided I liked the B&W best. Hope everyone has a great weekend with some amazing light! Cheers.<br />

It's located very close to a bridge with a lot of graffiti on the cement support structures. Could make for some good scenes.<br />

Dark/night scenes with a bright light that require long exposures make for difficult HDR processing. This is primarily due to the light source blowing out a lot of the scene. Looking at the brackets, that was exactly what I was going to have to deal with.<br />
<br />
<br />
After some work in Photomatix and Photo tools, I was left with the my final image. But it wasn't exactly the look I was wanted to achieve. Then I realized I am still in my trial days of Silver Efex Pro, a black and white conversion program that I'm really liking. Ran it through the paces and really liked the results.<br />
<br />
Hope everyone has a great week! <br />

This one today is a rather short trail but it achieves the look I was going for. I have yet to get a 2+ hour star trail in the books, but I hope to someday.<br />
<br />
I'm also a big fan of shooting at night period. It's amazing to me how one scene can appear one way during the day and then you return 12 hours later and get a completely different shot. I'm hoping to pick up some faster glass as soon as it becomes available again (Tokina 11-16 f/2.8) but it seems to be on back order until the end of the century. :) I've thought about the Canon 16-35 but since I'm on a crop body, I would prefer to have more of a wide angle lens like the Sigma 10-20 I have now.<br />
<br />
Hope you all have a great weekend with some amazing light. Cheers.<br />

Drove into town with the family for some morning coffee and didn't find a whole lot to shoot in town (but didn't get much time to explore either). Made the drive back to the house just outside of town and found this little scene sitting in a neighbors yard waiting to be captured. Haven't really given much effort into any 'minimalism' shots, but I do like how this turned out. May have to try some more in the future.<br />

You can see the other shots in the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/53335309@N02/sets/72157626006151629/">series here</a>. I'm a big fan of trying as many different kinds of beer as I can. Got to love the mix-n-match six pack. Many liquor stores allow you to buy certain brews/microbrews in a single bottle or part of a mix-n-match at a set price. I love how this allows you to try 6 different beers without having to buy 36 beers (6 6-packs). I tend to lean towards the stout/porter style of beer, but I'll try anything once.<br />
<br />
I haven't quite decided how I will use these pics, but I want to incorporate them around a home bar at a future home. I've even thought it may be cool to have the black and white shots printed on a tile (if possible) and incorporate them into a backsplash tile pattern around the bar.<br />

It's great at helping convert colored photos to black and white. Really like how this program operates.<br />

<br />
Another shot from up in the mountains. Didn't get anywhere close to the number of captures I was hoping to get while up around the mountains. It's so tough to be around such amazing scenery and not have the entire weekend to shoot.<br />
<br />
Quick blog note: I've been debating for some time to transition this blog from a storm/weather blog to more of an all inclusive photoblog of all of my shots. The header is just the beginning. I may make the jump to an actual photoblog/website address in the future, but I'm going to stick with the blogspot for now.<br />

Well, I woke up at 6:00 am when the alarm went off, looked out the door and saw a very foggy scene. This could normally provide for some interesting shots, however, after being up most of the night with my youngest son and the temp in the low teens, I decided to stay in curled up in the warm fleece. <br />
<br />
Made it out later in the day and enjoyed shooting the frost that made it through the morning.<br />
