Diamond Point Snag

Another photo from our Monday evening hike at the New River Gorge. 

Endless Wall

We had a nice evening hike at the New River Gorge yesterday.  We walked in on the Endless Wall trail to the Fern Creek climbers access and down the ladders to the bottom of Endless Wall.  From there we hiked upstream along the bottom of the cliffs to the Diamond Point climbers access and up the ladders to Diamond Point and back out Endless Wall trail to the van.  It was a super nice evening to spend 3 hours or so hiking and exploring.

When I made the picture of Molly on the rocks Kim had split off from us and had gone out a side trail looking for a bear or a bobcat.  Much to her sadness she didn't see either one.  :-(

More Senior Pictures

Softball themed this time.  If you look close in the top photo, you can see my reflection in her eyes.

Blossom Dairy Company

We've got a Blossom Dairy milk bottle from when they delivered milk in the 1940's and 50's.

Clouds and Rays

Kim and I stepped outside to walk around the corner to go vote and this is what I saw.

Two Pictures...

...of two pitchers.

A Passing Storm

Saturday evening.

Abstract Azalea

This azalea bush is at the corner of our house.

The Mighty Ohio

Early last Friday in Parkersburg.

Teays Valley Christian School Lady Lions Softball

We finished up our second season last Friday at the WVCAT tournament in Parkersburg.

Rainy Steeples

This is a non-traditional view of the "spires" of Charleston.  They're usually something like this.  I had to run some errands in town today and I had my Fuji x-e2 with a 27mm pancake lens on it.  That combo makes for a really small camera but there's no zoom.  Oh well, I like it anyway.  The building on the right with all the windows is Charleston Catholic High School.  We were gonna get our butts kicked by them in softball this afternoon but we got rained out.  ;-)

Senior Banquet

I can't believe my baby girl is a senior.  Kim made her dress for her.  She did a great job.

Sunset Fishermen

Saturday evening at the Nitro boat ramp.

Steeples of Beaufort

The top one is Saint Helena Episcopal.  The middle one is Tabernacle Baptist Church and the bottom one is The Baptist Church of Beaufort. 

An Ocean Without Waves

I couldn't decide which version I liked better, so I put up both.  This is a 50 second exposure at f/16 and ISO 100 with a 10 stop neutral density filter.

Marsh Stars

Here's another attempt at photographing star trails.  I went out to the marsh boardwalk on Hunting Island Saturday evening.  It was cool, but humid and the bugs...THE BUGS!!!!  I just set my camera up on the boardwalk and let it run while I went back and sat in the van away from THE BUGS.  I only ended up with about 40 good photos because some fog rolled in and got on my lens and made everything hazy. 

It's Hip To Be Square

It was dark, gloomy and rainy today in Beaufort.  Perfect conditions for some hipsterish, square format black and white photography.  Molly and I went downtown and walked around in the rain while Kim and her dad spent the day together.
