Well, what can one say about a turnip?

Thanksgiving Cat

I had hoped to take a picture of yesterday's Turkey coming out of the oven but I didn't get around to it. This is one of the almost 100 pictures I took of my niece's cat so she could use a photo for her christmas card.

Another hunting pose

I wasn't going to post this one because I thought it was overexposed. Then I worked with it a little bit in photoshop and decided I have a halfway decent picture.

Its Hunting Season

My nephew, left, and his hunting buddy, right, took time out from their deer hunting today to pose for an environmental portrait. So far they haven't had any luck bagging a deer, but its only Saturday.

How's this for a colorful magazine cover shot? The only thing that bothers me is the junk trucks in front of the red barn. Others in the office say that the trucks make the picture interesting, and "real."

Corn picker in the weeds

This is another from Saturdays shots on the farm. Its an old two-row ear corn picker. When I was a youngster I remember my Dad using it. It has seen better days.

The purpose of this post is to also test the Flickr.com blog feature. Hopefully this'll make posting updates less of a chore.

On a roll

Sometimes you just get a lucky shot. The more I contemplate this photo the more I really like it. This is my cousin with my Dad's 1940 John Deere AR, which has been featured before in this blog. I looked up the shot settings and they're exactly the same as the tractor shot in the previous post. I had the SB24 to camera left and the SB28 way off to the right. The muffler blocked the '28 and threw an interesting shadow on Gordon's face, which I think makes the picture.

Up and running again

Under which day does this fall? Oh well, I've lost track. FINALLY this morning I found some halfway interesting stuff to photograph. Whenever on of my Dad's vintage John Deere tractors is outside I always snap a quick portrait. This morning both my father and cousin happened to be in the vicinity and I had my lights set up. For those who are interested in these things, it was shot at ISO 100, f7.1/ 200. I had a bare SB24 and SB26 on either side of the scene at full power. This will be a classic to add to our family photo album.

I haven't forgotten about my blog

Okay, as I was saying..... I'm back from my latest travels but unfortunatly I haven't been out to take any interesting pictures. Check back on November 12.
