Falling Rain...

I have been trying to catch photos of the splash that rain makes while it is hitting the deck. I call this my"Rain Project" and i will be continuing this on and off for the next several months until i perfect my technique.

Here are a few photos so far:

It has been raining here all day. SO i decided to start a little project to capture the splash from the drop hitting the deck. I set my camera to the action setting and the opened the door to our deck. Here are a few pics with good splashes from the rain.

Twisted Light...

This is paperweight that is on my desk at home. I thought that it was really neat hos the light is twisted around the glass due to the what that it was formed. I got in as close as my lens would let me without being blurry.

This tree is in the backyard and it is blooming. The flowers are very pretty and delicate at the same time.

If this shot had worked it would have been an awesome photo. I was at the lake last night and a boat with a blue light in the back came across where i was shooting. It would have left a "light trail" had it worked out. For some reason, i was having trouble getting the camera to focus, it was most likely due to the very dark conditions. As it is now, i got some very interesting camera effects from the mess-up. Even when a photo messes up, some artistic value can be gleaned from it.

This is the fountain at the entrance to our neighborhood. I shot it tonight just to see what it would look like. I placed the camera on a boulder near the water's edge. This was shot in Vivid Mode.
