They only turn the “A” on Old Main blue for special occasions. I’m not sure how they could have known I was back on campus, but I really appreciate the thought. Really it was great to be back on USU’s campus I truly do miss it. The best years of my life (so far) were when I was there working on campus, and dreaming of being where I am now. Who would have thought.
I was looking at this lamp that my kids have. It is sparkly and changes colors, very cool indeed. I thought a longer exposure with a close up would be very nice. I tried and I tried and I tried I could not get anything but this rubbish. Good thing I get to try again tomorrow.
Yes, I know it is spelled skies. I like this spelling for this picture, I don’t know why. Jeesh people its just a blog. 🙂
My Dad I and were talking about taking pictures of the full moon. I figured I would try to get one. I saw the moon and went to get the tripod, camera, etc and the clouds had rolled in, I was fairly frustrated. I figured I would try anyway, and I love the results. This is pretty much out of camera I played with the contrast and the clarity on the moon and that was it.

So yesterday I spent most of the day working on my daughters room. I love sanding sheetrock, more accurately drywall mud. As I was sanding there were times that I almost could not see the opposite wall. Anyway, to give you an idea; this hat was dark olive drab it the beginning of the day. Now imagine my lungs. 🙂
105mm f/8 1/200s
So its late Friday night and I am trying to get me a shot of something. I finally had some inspiration, an egg being dropped and a picture taken at the moment of impact. Yeah, it would be cool. I started by getting the lights set up I used a bottle of Moutain Dew for my subject while I did this.
180mm f/22 1/200s From roughly 10 feet away. Pretty cool details huh.
So everything is set up. Well I couldn’t do rapid fire shooting to get the egg when I wanted it so I had to settle for an after shot. Notice anything different 🙁 I must have bumped the tripod and not the focus off. The paper was a nightmare to work with I am never using scripture paper again from now on I am using the cover paper form the Ensign.
Whip it good.
This was a shot I have been planning for quite a while now. It is fairly generic, but I found it difficult to get right with the tools at my disposal (2 SB-600 and a homemade spiderlight)
145mm f/11 1/160s Flashes on the background and the spiderlight on the whisk. I need to figure out how to get the whipped cream to look right on the whisk as well.
What’s whip cream without pie?
The Photowalking Utah gang went out the Salt Flats to photograph the Utah Rocket Club annual Hellfire rocket shoot. It was a blast. We,the older kids and I, went out and got there just in time to see Sgt. Pepper fly. It went 5 miles up (yes they had to get FAA permission) and it was amazing. We had a really great time the kids played in the salt like it was snow and we got to see how fast the Expedition goes (95 mph that was floored for a couple of miles). I am putting more of my pictures on the Photowalkingutah.com group site if you are interested.
