The half way point! It’s hard to believe that I’m half way through this project. These weeks have been flying by but I know I’ve got the hardest weeks coming up. I think I’ll be fine into November but then – who knows! I’m not a fan of winter at all and I always have […]

Recently, the company I work for has started a competition for all the employees. We are all wearing pedometers and reporting how many steps we take each day. The competition is sponsored by our health insurance company. So, in an effort to get more steps each day, I’ve been visiting more places around town and […]

Burgess Falls

This past weekend we visited Burgess Falls State Natural Area. Nothing original here, in fact I had to wait 10 minutes or so while other photographers got this same shot. I only took one shot (the one above) and then switched lenses. When the sun came out there was a rainbow across the falls, but […]

Nothing too exciting this week. I visited Radnor Lake often, and got tons of deer shots this week. I also switched up my path there, making a loop that’s perfect for my lunch break. Starting in the east parking lot, head down Otter Creek Rd. Take the Lake Trail to the right. After a short […]

August 26, 2010 /1 Comment/in Black and White, HDR, Tutorials /by Malcolm

Another Tutorial! Don’t worry, I’ll get back to the photo posts soon! I’ve had another request for a tutorial. This time someone would like to see how I convert to black and white. Believe it or not, there are TONS of ways to convert an image to black and white. However, there is one particular […]

How I Did It – Part 3

I had a request from a fellow photographer for a “How I Did It” post. For this tutorial, I’ll show you everything I did to turn this: into this _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Once again, this is an HDR or High Dynamic Range Image. To create an HDR image you need to take multiple exposures (usually 3 but […]

Lot’s of photos this week! I visited Radnor Lake in Nashville Tennessee on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Wednesday morning was rainy, so I walked down Otter Creek Rd. I headed to one of the best spots at the park to get a lakescape. I’ve got shots from this spot on Week 13, and Week […]

Murfree Springs Wetlands – The Water Lilies

August 18, 2010 /2 Comments/in Murfree Springs Wetlands, Murfreesboro, Tennessee /by Malcolm

Seems like every time I’m at the Discovery Center in Murfreesboro, the water lilies are closed. I haven’t caught them open all summer. Do they close every evening? Here is my small collection of (closed) water lilies: Thanks for looking!

I struggled to pick a lead photo this week. I like the photos I got this week but nothing really seemed to pop. I started the week of at the lake on a Tuesday lunch time visit. It was about 100 degrees though so I did not stay long. I saw an owl on the […]

Today is my sons first day of school…..EVER! I’ll be dropping him off for Kindergarten this morning. He’s a little worried about it but I’m sure he’ll enjoy it. He and I went to his school last weekend to get some photos.
