Cedar Creek Park

Just playing around with long exposures and getting the blur in the running water.

Water

Nothing to exciting just some water drops up really close. 

One Leaf

This is just some simple photoshop magic, I really like the concept of just leaving on piece of the photo in color. 

Night in Meno

Tonight I went out and played with some settings on my camera focusing in on motion and light. This stuff was shot using an iso100 and holding my shutter open for 1-2 seconds. It turned out pretty sweet in my opinion. 

The Hills

This shot was taken just outside of Menomonie. I am not a super huge fan of it since the sun is distorting the top of the plant but for some reason this photograph intrigues me. I just don't know what it is. 

Storm Shots

Neither of these shots are perfect, I took this opportunity to try and capture the storm. The first one shows the layers of clouds with the long exposure of the ground. The second shot I'll admit was pure luck.

Ok Back again

I'm back at it, and hopefully everyone is super excited for this one. A nice senic shot on the beautiful Anvil Lake. 

Mr. Bee

This is a shot I just happend to be walking by these flowers when I saw a bumble bee flying around and even in the flowers. A macro lens would have been perfect for this shot but as I am an amature photographer on a limited budget I make do with what I have! 

Restricted Area¿

I guess we weren't supposed to be there... But the polarizer made a cool effect. 

Peacful

There’s nothing better then just relaxing and watching the sun go down. 

4th of July

There's nothing like fireworks on the 4th! 

Fun With Filters

I got some fun filters for my camera so I was playing with them, now you all know that where ever I live is somewhere near 2nd and 13th ;) 

The Fence

This was taken in MN, the purpose of this shot was to play with manual mode on my camera... While I still have a lot to figure out i really like the tone of the wire on the fence. While this photo could use some actual white and some actual black to give it a full range I enjoyed the way it came out with out any altering. My thoughts would also be to take it when it is sunny out. ;)

 

Summer Time Fun

This is just a picture advertising a website I work on. Sometimes it's just fun to play with photoshop!

 

He's Safe at First

This was taken at Carson Park, in Eau Claire,WI. As the Cavaliers took on Marshfield I got on the feild for some practice with action shots! 

Where did it go?

This was taken last week Thursday night during a rain storm. The car never showed up but the lights did :) Causing the exact effect i was going for. 

Eau Claire River

This is a sunset on the Eau Claire River near Fall Creek,WI. Although its not an impressive picture I find it some what soothing. 

Back At it

This was takin along hwy29 east of Menomonie. I just got lucky with a beautiful sunset. 

Slacking

This is another old picture, cause I am really slacking this week with moving. Hopefully I will get out this weekend and get some new shots. 

Nothing Spectacular

I'm in the process of moving so I haven't really got out shooting much lately. Hopefully this will fulfill your daily dose of images by CH, if it doesn’t then too bad! ;) This flower I found last weekend near where I found the one from my last post. The leaves are in a weird pattern. Anyway let me know what you think!

 

Spring Time

The rain all weekend made for some shots of flowers with rain drops on them. 

Construction

I was on a trip this weekend, we hit some traffic on the interstate in a construction zone so I pulled out my camera and got this cool shot. 

It not photoshoped

Believe it or not this is not a photoshop job, I actually burned a bad print, and it came out really cool. 

Bleeding Heart

This is a real cool shot of a bleeding heart. I found this plant in my neighbors yard. With the sun shining down some beatiful color was displayed. 

Hmmm...

I spent the afternoon in EC going to all the usual spots, when I stumbled upon the Rod and Gun Club's Park near Half Moon Lake. They have a unique set up of water ways running from a creek to a small pond to the lake. You will notice that the path seems all man made but yet looks very natural.
