Wild, wild life.

Some more, these are all animal related...

This is a an Elk, taken up in Estes Park, CO. we drove up one Sunday afternoon to see the town, and they have river walk that runs through the town, and a herd of elk that live across the river. Apparently they are very tame and will cross the river and feed right out of your hand. The male of the herd was being very shy and would hide behind the trees and not cross the river, I stalked him up and down the river until I finally got a shot of him in the clear.

Some bird (Don't ask me what type of bird it is) Taken up near Brighton Ski Resort this past summer on a hike with the family.
This I believe is a monarch, this was at the Atchafalaya Basin in Louisiana, I stopped at the visitor's center and was walking around snapping some pix, and this guy came a landed right in front of me. I crept up to him and he (or she) spread open their wings for me to take a picture.

More Pics

So, Like I said this would be a project that has stale moments. Here's some pix I took recently on a short Hike we took as a family.

Enjoy!

What The...

I decided I'm going to branch out a little bit, I've seen a lot of people doing "one a day photo blogs" where they take a new picture and share it each day, and improve their skills. I want to do something similar, but it won't be everyday, mostly on the weekends or when I have the time. I've always enjoyed photography, and some of these pictures are not going to be the traditional Digital pix edited in Photoshop to make it look better. So I'm posting first some of my favorite B&W film, (Yes, 35mm film) prints I did last year. I'm very proud of these, since I shot, developed and printed each one of these, the old way. I still love the look of film pictures, I know Digital can capture vibrant colors, but there's something nostalgic about film. The last one, of the bike tire was entered into an art contest at the college I was attending, I received an Honorable Mention for it.

So more to come.
