Had the time of my life today thanks to my awesome wife! She went out of the box this year for my Bday and got me some indoor skydiving sessions. It’s a giant vertical wind tunnel that simulated a free fall. It was much harder than I anticipated and way more fun than I would have ever imagined. The staff at Sky Venture Colorado were AWESOME!!! http://www.skyventurecolorado.com/ I … Continue Reading

What a blast it was last evening! The boys and I had a little camera training session. My 5 year old and 2 year old wanted to take pictures. So I got all the gear out and let them have a good time! Not much else to say… just needed to test my blog linkage from Flickr…
Nothing like wedding cake in your face on your special day. I attended a post-wedding get together of my cousin Brandon. He was married during the winter in a beautiful cabin new Rocky Mountain National Forest. Kerry and I were honored to attend. Anyway, this get together was for the larger crowd of many friends and family of Brandon and Deann. If you would like to check out the action http://www.wickedz.com/moats/ . (Brandon and Deann, let me know which pictures you want and I’ll get them on CD for you) I … Continue Reading
In reviewing my photos I found this one from last month. I borrowed my dad’s 10D and used a 16-35 f/2.8L @ 16mm for this shot. Handheld, 1/125th sec @ f / 22, ISO 200. Only an “L” could give you a kiss of light like this. The rock face was being lit by the reflection from the red rock behind me.
Here’s one that’s hand held that is surprisingly sharp. 1/100th sec @ f / 5.6, ISO 400, 300MM focal lenth on my 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6L taken at 7:15 in the evening. 
The difference between the green and the grain of the wood is about 1 foot. The auto focus point is right in the middle just on the edge of the wood. 1/1000 of a second @ f/5.6 ISO 200 on my 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6L @ 135mm focal lenth. I have 4 pictures like this that show the same thing. This is hand held. I’m going to setup some tripod tests with all my lenses. It just seems that the results in the last few days have been very inconsistent and I … Continue Reading
I successfully installed wordpress today on my server. So I will begin to make my mark in the web world by blogging my regular thoughts and ideas… I’ll be in touch. BTW - I’m and engineer, not an English major. I’ll do my best and I hope that blogging will improve my writing ability, but you will see some grammar issues… I can almost guarantee it.
