The first picture is one which cries out to be viewed larger. Can you hear it?

"Click me!" "Click me!"

playing with light - the patio Thursday, March 06, 2008 | 1

We have some really cool lights hanging in our patio at the house, and I decided to see if I could get a picture exactly like you see here. The catch? I took this picture at 2:30 in the afternoon on a bright sunny day. While the patio is not in direct sunlight, it is well lit and a quick shutter release of 1/250th of a second did not allow enough light to show anything else. Thus, it looks like nighttime when it was actually very bright outside.

Never again will there be any night. No one will need lamplight or sunlight.
The shining of God, the Master, is all the light anyone needs. Revelation 22:5

THESE ARE NOT MY SHOTS!

Today's post is two pictures from a guest photographer who doesn't even know I'm putting up his pictures. My brother, Daniel, recently gave me his old laptop, and he didn't delete off his vacation pictures from September of 2006. So I figured it was only fair that you would get to see these awesome pictures along with me. He has taken some amazing shots over the years (you should see a sunrise picture he took a couple of years ago), but I'm only sharing two from his and Kara's vacation. Both of these pictures were taken with his 4 megapixel point-and-shoot camera, so there is no fancy equipment used. Both of these shots are a half second exposure.

two days, two fences Tuesday, March 04, 2008 | 5

While uploading this picture, I realized that I now have two fences in two days, and they are both on the left hand side of the picture. Hmmmm, strange.

I actually chose this one today because we had snow this morning, and snow is a rare occurrence around here.

The scan is bad, but you can get a feel for what the picture looks like. The picture is much better than this scan from our $29 all-in-one printer, scanner and copier. I can't imagine why we don't get good scans out of a high quality machine like that!
