Backyard Creek
Having to go to work does have a dampening affect on my photography time. Luckily I managed to grab a few images yesterday as I played in the creek behind the house. For now you may have to suffer through a few more slow water, long exposure, snow on the rocks images until I can get back out when there is light.

Backyard Creek
I guess not every morning can have a beautiful sunrise. I was hoping though… I settled for playing in the creek after grocery shopping. You can never take the kid out of the creek, or is it the creek out of the kid, or am I suppose to grow up? I forget what it is suppose to be. I just have fun exploring that creek behind the house. 😉

Thirty in Eleven – TIE01
I have been very good at making excuses for not going out with the camera lately. I used everything from the weather to being too tired from work so I decided earlier in the week to give myself a project as a kick in the butt. Thinking of myself as a clever fella I settled on Thirty in Eleven as the name for my project. Which ultimately boils down to a picture a day in November. No real rules other than to take a picture by any means necessary each day in November.
Although it is rather late on November 1st I am posting my first of thirty wonderful creations (or at least a quick snapshot… lol). I had to work most of the day on end of the year inventory but I did get home before sunset and immediately grabbed the camera, tripod and a good CP filter to head off into the backyard creek. Nothing beats some colorful leaves and long exposure water flows, at least in my mind.

SUNYIT Campus Center
Thursday night was the perfect night to be at the campus playing with my camera. There was just enough wind in the upper layers to give good movement to the clouds but not enough at ground level to cause me any issues with my long exposures. Right after sunset the sky was changing toward black going through all the deep blues with the right amount of clouds for interest.
I have tried to capture the Campus Center building on numerous occasions but was never happy with the results. There are quite a few annoying lights in the courtyard at the front of the building which general get in my view. On this night though I stuck with the fish-eye lens which allowed me to get right next to the building, blocking out most of the lights, and still capture this interesting corner. Due to the large amount dynamic range in the scene I needed five separate exposures to capture it all. I blended all five using Photomatix and made a few more adjustments in Photoshop.
