Little by Little

Without a doubt, working on a masters degree reduces your amount of free time -you probably already realized that. I did manage to escape for a couple hours yesterday morning to a nearby park to try to and capture a little of the fall colors. It was pretty disappointing actually; with the exception of nice fresh air and a brisk walk I left more or less empty handed. The fall colors seemed nowhere to be found. Thankfully I managed to find one pretty milkweed pod. It’s amazing how many different ways you can photograph a subject.

My other couple of frames consisted of a few clicks of the creek. I really wasn’t too impressed at the time but after a minute or two in Capture NX2 they aren’t so bad. Have a favorite version?

It all goes to show that every moment and frame can count -even if I only click a couple every month. Hopefully this also holds true for this literature review I’m writing… one paragraph after one small paragraph… [sigh]… back to work. Have a great night.

Already?

October…? Sure enough it’s that time of year again.  Not that I mind -it’s my favorite time of year! It just snuck up on me this time around.  I can’t help but be a little jealous of Moose; while I’m swamped with school work and writing quarterly reports here in Columbus he is out enjoying the newly arriving color in Vermont.

Thankfully the color has just started creeping into the trees here in Ohio so I still have a chance to get out and catch a few images myself.  There is one thing you photographers may be interested in if you haven’t heard of it already.  The Nikon Photo Contest International is accepting entries through November 30 and entry is free!  It’s a great place to see how your images compare to those of other photographers around the world.

I’ve gotten so excited about fall I had to go back through my pictures and pull a few out from years gone by.  Now seems like a good time to get my tripod oiled up…
