Chillin With the Chitlins

It's cold and no one in this house wants to go outside to have their picture taken. How am I supposed to get any practice with my new lens or my diffuser?? Huh? Tell me!

I offered to take the kids for a walk. By "walk" I guess what I meant was "unleash them at a full speed run and try to keep up."

We were walking in some woods that run alongside the golf course. Suddenly, Mika found a golf ball. You would think he'd just discovered a secret passage to Wonka's factory. Of course, ten seconds after he finds it, some guy yells down from the top of the ridge, "HEY! You guys see a ball down there?" Mika was good enough to return it, but frankly I was confused by the thrill of the find.

Anyway. We hung out on the golf course for awhile and watched the sunset. It was awesome. I tried some metering, but it didn't go well. Photography is becoming frustrating to me because I really do not have any time to practice or learn. And because I have the world's most useless memory, I forget a lot of the things that I HAVE learned. It's sort of like chasing my tail here. Anyway. Here are a couple of fun ones we came away with:








Everything outside is dead and brown, so I end up converting all my pics to black and white to hide that fact.


End of boring post.
