Sun Dial

This photo was taken at Nebraska Wesleyan University this past weekend. I went back to visit my mom and we took a side trip to Lincoln, NE which is where Wesleyan is located. This sun dial is dedicated to one of the long time professors of physics, Carrol Moore, just outside the science building on the west side of the campus.

More Fall Color!

Sorry, I'm just back and the office calls, so I'll just post this last photo of fall color.

More Fall Color

This will be the last of the fall color photos. We had a terrible wind last Wednesday and most of the leaves are gone now. I'm visiting my mom in Nebraska so I'll start a new subject when I get back.

Panorama out my back door

Last Saturday I hand held my camera and took a series of photos; yes I know that you should use a tripod. But my wife Debra said I needed to come out now and take the photos. And as the good husband that I am, I ran out the door with just camera in hand.

This was a series of 9 photos that I then took into camera raw and only slightly adjusted then went into PhotoShop and let it do it's job of stitching the photos together and then cropping it so I could put it up here on the blog. This is about 135 degree view just to the south of our patio in the backyard.

This was taken as the sun was setting last weekend. The tips of the burning bush turn bright red from top to bottom but the top leaves fall off before the bottom change color.

Crestock Photography contest

I thought I'd show something a little different today. Crestock Photography has a contest for graphic designers. They pick out a bunch of pictures, some with a related theme and some just off the wall. Then it's our job to create something out of nothing. The prizes are really great so they get some really good entries.

Here's the link to see the entries: http://www.crestock.com/blog/photoshop/contest2008/entries.aspx?round=12. I'm a graphic artist too, so I like to dabble once in awhile. I don't think my talent is anywhere close to some of those but go look and vote for your favorites.

Fall Color is Here!

Fall has finally arrived in Muskogee! The colors really didn't start to bust out until last Friday. I'll be posting some photos from this past weekend from my backyard. When I was out and about over the weekend there were spots of color, but my backyard seemed to be the best variety. Have a great week!
