Woke up sore this morning from hiking in the woods all day yesterday taking pictures.  It was worth every ache and pain.  I’ve been editing for most of the day and I’m not even half way through all the images.  Some time during the shoot my camera decided to start shooting in Aperture priority mode.  When I shoot in this mode I’m usually using the bracket mode so that meant that every picture was either 2 steps under exposed and 2 steps over exposed.  So every picture has to be edited.

The picture above is part of the creek that I followed for over a mile.  As you can tell it’s really nice out there.  If you are ever in the Atlanta Georgia area it would be worth a couple of hours of your time to at least hike down to the old textile mill.  Sweetwater Creek State Park, remember the name.

Happy Easter Everyone!!

Meet Codie Bell from Atlanta Ga.  I spent several hours with her and her husband today at Sweetwater Creek State Park.  It was a great shoot with a beautiful young lady.  The park was packed today with families with kids and dogs.  We had to walk quite a while through the woods to find a place to have a little bit of privacy.  We still had several hikers come by while we were shooting and even then they were few and far between.

This lady has had three kids and I was shocked when she told me.  She had the body of a 20 year old with no stretch marks what so ever.  She works out every day and you could tell it.  We walked about 5 miles up and down hills that made me gasp for breath and it didn’t even phase her.

It amazed me how we would be somewhere shooting and other photographers would set up right behind her while I was shooting.  I’ve got several pictures with another tripod in in focus.  All they cared is for them to get their shot.

I’ve got a lot of editing to do.  Twice my camera somehow managed to either get in the Aperture Priority Mode or the Shutter Priority Mode.  With me doing bracketing shots one photo is 2 steps under and one picture is 2 steps over exposed.  So I’ve got to spend some time trying to see if I can salvage some of these pictures.  It’s going to be time consuming to do over 100 pictures.  1500 total pictures in all.  Maybe she can uses some of the pictures.

Happy Easter everyone!!!

This is the second time to post this.  The first time didn’t post for some reason.  Oh well.  Got a photo shoot tomorrow in Atlanta Ga at 1pm.  I’m planning on getting there at 9 am Georgia time to scope the place out and to take some pictures before it get’s too crowded.

My app screwed my mileage up today.  I biked over 21 miles today but my app messed up where I stopped and took a photo and it only logged a little over 17 miles.  I’ve logged over 2,000 miles with this app and this is the first time that this has done this.

With rain on Sunday, errands on Monday and a meeting late this afternoon  I just haven’t had time to get back on my bicycle.  I was able to get on my treadmill for about thirty minutes this evening.   Tomorrow looks promising although the darkness will sneak up on me and I will not get my full 20 miles in.  I’ll be lucky to get about thirteen before it gets too dark to see my way home.

No word on any of the stuff that was taken while he was at home for spring break.  He did receive a phone call from the detective but was not able to get back in touch with him to find out what he wanted.  My son is very upset over this.  He said that he gets a sick feeling in his gut everytime he goes into his room.  The good news is that he will not have to pay for the repairs to the door.  It seems that it’s the apartment’s place to have it repaired at their expense.  That’s a relief.  We’re already going to have to replace everything that was stolen and we didn’t need any extra expense.

Sorry for not posting any new stuff lately.  Just haven’t been anywhere to take any pictures.  I’m planning on getting out this weekend and shooting some.  There is an air show this weekend.  Maybe I’ll go there.  We shall see.

It hasn’t been a full week and I’m already coming down with something else. I’ve got chest congestion and I’m coughing.  I can not afford to be sick anymore so I’ve got to go to work.  Looks like if I can just make it through the day tomorrow I’ll go to the doctor on Saturday.  I just hope I can make it through the day tomorrow.

Today was a bust as far as the weather goes.   The weather people has been calling for ice and sleet for over a week.  My company closed at 10:30 this morning but I stayed until 1:30 when my wife called and told me it was getting bad at the house.  By the time I got home it had already quit and the roads were drying out.  There may be some frozen spots on the roadway where there were some puddles but that should be it.

Tomorrow is Friday, at least it better be.  Going to the doctor on Saturday and hopefully I have a photo shoot scheduled for Sunday.  I’m going to really enjoy this weekend as it should be fairly nice outside. Mid to upper 50’s forecasted.

I had a shoot scheduled for today but I never heard from her.  It upsets me that some people will talk and talk to you and then just vanish with no contact whatsoever.  Won’t respond to emails, voicemail or even text messages.  Go Figure!  So what did I did I do today?  I spent the afternoon with one of my daughters at Tannehill Historical Park.

I won’t post pictures of my daughter due to her privacy but this is a picture of the church that is there.  I adore this place.  In fact, I love to go to this park and spend the day taking pictures.  As you can see, if you click the link, that this place has a lot to offer.

My daughter wants to be a model.  I’m not going to deny her the opportunity but I’d rather her be something else.  She’s still got a few more years before she has to decide and I will support her in whatever choice she decides to make.

I hope everyone has a peaceful Sunday.

365 Day Photo Challenge 30/365 “New Beginnings”

This year has been full of “New Beginnings” and not all of them have been all that good.  I refuse to concentrate on the negatives and I’m trying to focus on all of the positives.  Last year started off really bad and I was hoping that this year would be somewhat better.

My dieting hasn’t been very productive and I haven’t started exercising like I wanted and it’s already February.  It just seems like there is always something preventing me from getting on the trainer or the treadmill.  I’m always finding excuses and it’s always “I’ll do it tomorrow.  I’ve lost 40 lbs in about four months two years ago and I know I can do it again it’s just getting started that’s the trouble.

I’ve got my first photoshoot tomorrow afternoon so my plan is to get up early, get on that treadmill for at least thirty minutes then get my day started.  I need to set up a goal to reward myself for every so many pounds I lose.  It needs to be something that I really enjoy, not food, and that it will be worth losing the weight other than my health. Any suggestions?  I was thinking that every 20 pounds I would reward myself with something.

The above picture is of a couple that I shot for their engagement.  It’s been over a year since they’ve been married and now she is currently pregnant and not doing to good. She’s in her final trimester and the poor girl has been sick since she’s gotten pregnant. She’s a sweet young lady and I’m sure she’ll be a great mother.  After this one she’ll probably not get pregnant again. lol

It’s the weekend.  I hope everyone has a great weekend and I hope you get to spend time with your loved ones.

I’m excited because after nearly a year I’ve finally got a photo shoot scheduled.  Between work, family and other hobbies I just haven’t had time to do any real shooting.  I’ve done some outdoor stuff but I haven’t done any “people work” in nearly a year.

I’ve got a shoot scheduled for Saturday and I’m talking to three other women so I should have my work cut out for me for a few weekends.  I can’t wait until spring time so I can start shooting some in the evenings.

What more could a person ask for?  Meet Taffy Marie from London England no less.  It was strange to find her here in Alabama. She was a lot of fun to work with and I loved hearing her talk.  Her mom and dad both were in the military in England and somehow ended up here in the states.  Once in the states her family moved all the time.  Taffy no longer lives in Alabama and now resides in Florida somewhere near the coast.

Enjoy the pictures and as always, comments welcome.

Have a safe week everyone.
