Just out Shooting!

Window Boxes

With last weekend being a three day weekend, and both of us just needing a break away from everything, we took off for Lexington, KY. Taking photos was part of the plan, but not the main focus. It was much more important to spend time with my wife, “running away” together for a couple of days more than anything.

Given that, our plans didn’t really involve making sure we always were at the best place at the best time for shooting great photos, but even if you’re not out shooting at the “golden hour” there are still a number of opportunities to take photos, and do some experimentation. Some of the experimental shots I took worked out just as I imagined it might, others not at all. The important thing was just to take some shots, explore the area of the country and have some new experiences. In that regard, mission accomplished!

    One of the great joys of living near the mountains, and also in the mild climate of South Carolina, is the chance to simply take any random Saturday, grab the camera gear and do a little hiking/photowalking/exploring around the area, even in the middle of January.

    We went to the Ohio Historical Center this past weekend to take in the Norman Rockwell exhibit, Rockwell’s America. Now, I’ve never been a big Rockwell fan. If you know anything about my childhood, you know that the idyllic scenes of small town America, and the exuberance of childhood are not something I could have…

    Usually on the blog, today would be the day I put up a collection of the favorite photos I took during the year, but since I have an actual photography page this year, I decided to just post that over there. Go check it out if you want to see my year in pictures. 😉…
