Test of the Photo Cube

I finally pulled the trigger on getting a table top photography cube. Nothing elaborate, just enough to do what I need it for. A small 16 inch photography cube with 2 lights, tripod, and for background color sheets.

Two Replacements

Just replaced my two camera bags which were in good condition, but a little big (and a little heavy) when both cameras are in the one main bag.

The main bag, a AmazonBasics backpack for a SLR camera, I had purchased around last Christmas – I think – did a fantastic job, but when the NX300 and the D3200 and all their associated lenses, cables and chargers were in it had become a little heavy to carry around all day when I’m out taking pictures.
Since I rarely ever take both cameras out at one time, I decided to just keep them in separate bags so I started doing some research on the matter and ended up getting these two bags:

From the Nikon D3200

I LOVE this camera!

The pictures that come from it are crystal clear and very clean! It’s one of my best cameras I own.

The top three were from Instagram, that’s why they are square, but the last one is not. It’s been post-edited a little to give it a little darker look, which is what I like.

All of them were just after a rain and at the time I took them, it was still misting a little.

A Few Photos from Today

It has rained everyday since Thursday (the 4th of July). No fireworks – not close enough to watch. The fireworks we usually go see on the fourth over in Alabama on the water was called off due to rain.. Sooooo…. I do what I normally do when I’m bored; I grab my cameras and walk into the backyard.

InstaGram of 05-11-13

Some of my InstaGram pics of today. Half were taken with my Galaxy S3 and half were taken with my Nikon D3200.

The first one is/was just a test post to Path to see if Path was even working today. Seems its not working more than IS working these days.

Dusting Off The Nikon

Since I got the Nikon D3200, I have used it a few times, but nothing like I did with the Nikon D100 I have.

Granted, I had the D100 way before phone cameras got to where they are today.

For quick and simple shots, I normally use my phone. But, when I do go out just to take pictures, I take the D3200. I haven’t gone out much lately. Most of my traveling has been for work and that leaves little time for taking pictures.

Typical Travel Day:

• Up and leaving by 6:00 or 6:30 am to travel to Huntsville, AL, a 5+ hour drive. I normally arrive at the office in Huntsville around 11:00 or 12:00 (my time – EST).
• Do the job(s) I’ve been sent there to do and by 4:00 or 5:00, I’m heading to my hotel room which is only a couple miles away from the office.
• By the time I check in and get to my room, all I want to do is sit and relax.
• Also, my travel days now are on Tuesday thru Wednesday. Tuesday is when NCIS and NCIS LA comes on and I’m NOT going to miss those shows if I can help it (and if they aren’t re-runs.

Back to the point; Dusting off the Nikon..

Today’s travel was to Montgomery, AL. 90 miles away.

At least I’m back at home for my shows tonight!!

The Drive to Dothan, AL

I had to drive to Dothan, AL on 01/26/2012 for work so I took a few minutes while having to stop for a snack to take a few pictures going to and from Dothan that day.

Getting to stop and take a few pictures makes the drive better.
There was a storm on it's way that day so that's the reason why a lot of the pictures are a little dark.

Playing around with Photography

Just out playing around with some macro photography this morning. This is a Chevy El Camino hotwheels I barrowed from my granddaughter (yes, I’ll give back).

Taken with my old Nikon S210 point and shoot camera.

Outing To Limebranch

This picture was taken while Geocaching north of where o live, just on the outskirts of Carrollton, GA.
Didn't do much geocaching bit had a great time being out and taking pictures though!

A Panorama Picture

I went back to Florence Marina State Park and messed around for a couple hours.

I snapped off a few pictures with a panorama picture I mind and this is how it turned out.

This was a total of 7 pictures that made this panorama view.
I thought it turned out pretty good. It could have used a little tweaking, but it’s ok without it.

12/24/2010 Out and About

Friday, Christmas eve, I set out to go exploring and get a little geocaching done but didn’t want to drive very far doing so.
I created a pocket query from geocaching.com for the area of High Falls, GA and 30 miles radius – just under 2 hours away.
Here are a few of the pictures I took while out yesterday.
