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.

Day 270 – Why I Hate Photography
Day 246 – Night Skyes
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.
300mm f/8 1/2s
Day 228 – My Name Is Mud
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. 🙂
Day 227 – You Must Focus
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.
Day 225 – Whip It
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.
Day 172 – Hellfire
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.
200mm f/5.6 1/1000s
