Another photo for today

Here is a photo I just got to process. I took it this summer, but with a dead computer, I got a bit delayed on developing photos.

All of the dragonflies were very indifferent to me, not even caring if I got within a few inches of them with the front of the lens.



Yours in Christ,
Thursday

Been awhile. . .

So, my computer died this August, and I just replaced it today with a brand spanking new MacBook! I just got the base model, but I have 4GB of RAM on the way from Newegg to really make it scream.
So, here is a photo I have wanted to post for a while now, but never gotten around to doing it.

So here it is:



What do you think?

Photo of the Day 21!!!

I've been gone for a bit, but my lovely Fiance has been asking me to get back to posting a "photo of the day"again. I'm not sure if anyone still reads this blog, but if you do, thanks for sticking with me. Without further delay, here is the 21st photo of the day:


Camera: Pentax K100d
Lens: Pentax SMC 100mm f/4 Macro
When: June 21st, 2007
Where: My back garden

Thank you all again for standing by me.

Yours in Christ,
Thursday

P.S.
I have a back library of around 150 photos to post, and I'm always shooting more, so I shouldn't run out anytime soon.

Photo of the Day 20

It's been awhile, and I'm back. I just got my new digital camera (Pentax K100d), and am just itching to post some shots.
Here goes:

Photo of the Day 19

Sorry about my long absence, and thank you ghostwriter for a nerd game post.

Here is one I just took a week ago:

Taken with my Pentax MX
Pentax SMC-M 100mm f/4 Macro

I liked the color that I got with these leaves, even in the dead of winter.

So anyways, I've been a bit busy with work and school to post much, in fact I was a bit busy to shoot until last week. I know I said I was going to post more, but it just got away from me.
I really like shooting film, but unfortunately, I just can't afford to continue to shoot film now. Besides film cost and processing costs, I really would need to get a film scanner, and the one I want runs in the mid $400s. That is not the real issue though. Nikon seems to be quietly discontinuing the model, as it is only available every 5 months or so. That would only leave the $900 model, which is out of my budget. The answer to all of this is to get a Pentax dSLR. It seems the perfect time to buy one as Pentax is giving some rather major updates right now.
I'll post more (hopefully) from now on. And expect lots of photos, and a possible domain change when I get my dSLR.

Yours in Christ,
Thursday

Time for another thrilling installment of "Photo of the Day!" As you remember from last time, our heros had just managed to escape the evil red fog. . . Okay, so maybe not. . .

Hey all,
Here is another photo that I took awhile ago, but just got developed. It is a bit more artistic than my usual photos. This is my first experiment with multiple exposures, and I think it came out quite nicely. Please leave feedback on this one!

Well, I have been negligent in my blogging these past few weeks. I would like to thank my ghost writer for updating some while I was sick.
I just got several rolls of film developed and scanned, so I have lots of photos to post.

Okay, here's another photo up for Thursday. He is feeling better now and is just continuing to slack off, so I decided to put another picture up for him.

Yours in Christ,
Thursday(and his ghostwriter)

(Yes Thursday, I know that it's smaller than you'd like but I couldn't get it to look good any other way that wasn't too big for your template.)

EDIT: Thank you for posting ghostwriter, I fixed the layout.

Photo of the Day 12

Thursday has been sick lately. So I, his illustrious ghost writer, have decided to attempt to keep him from getting too far behind with the Photo of the Day. He'll just have to tell y'all what this is later.

Picture of the Day 9

Sorry about not posting for a couple days, Zooomr was down for longer than I expected it to be. But, on the plus side they gave all pro users "Pro 4 Life" accounts, so I will never have to pay for pro status.

Here is my photo for today:

Tweaked slightly in Adobe lightroom

In other photo related news, I am setting up a web store, where I hope to sell framed prints of some of my photos. I will alert you all when it goes live.

Yours in Christ,

Picture of the Day 6

I took this photo at Bishop's University in early september. I didn't notice the bee until I was developing the RAW photo in Adobe Lightroom. I guess you could say he is a bit of a bonus.

Picture of the Day 5

Hosted on Zooomr

Taken in my Garden 7/X/06
Camera: Fuji Finepix s5100

I hope my readers don't mind that I spend most of my posts on my budding (no pun intended) interest in photography.
I promise I will post some non-photography posts soon.

Yours in Christ,
Thursday

P.S.
If anybody would like to use my photos, please ask me first. I am more than willing to give permission, but please do ask.

I saw this little mushroom, and I thought it would make a great photo.

Here is the third picture. As you can see, I am trying a new host for my images. If you click on the photo, you can see the image in multiple sizes as well as download the original file. They are also giving me a free "pro" account for one year for doing this, so I am pretty psyched.
