7 Days Day 3 "Man vs. snow-tree-light

"Man vs. snow-tree-light" Long exposure under tree and streetlight. I am thankful that that snow did not fall off the tree, down my neck!

Winter "7 Days" so far

We are doing the winter "7 Days" photo group. I have participated in day 1,3 and 4. I missed day 2. I have been super busy trying to get my new business off the ground. Severance pay from the day job wont last forever. Here is day 1, "Nothing is cool". Double exposure with led words.

7 Days day 6 "to the third power"

Our 7 days flickr group has really challenged me to get a shot EVERY day. Out of time. Short on ideas. Who cares. Push the button and capture the moment.... later, you will be glad you did.

7 days #3

Hey you... wanna see me play the drums? Here ya go! haha!

I have been playing professionally for ten years or so. I started playing drums in... 86? Mom is that right? Anyway, My Mom said if I took lessons for six months and passed a test she would buy me a drum kit. Long story short the crack head drum teacher ( no, the other crack head drum teacher) showed up for my lesson... almost never. So I set there practicing by myself, teaching myself. I might be a little bitter... I'm over it. :)

7 days day three. Self portrait at the kit. Long exposure obsession. 30 second exposure + $3.99 Energizer keychain L.E.D. from Target = fun. This concept may be pushing the self portrait theme however I was physically in front of the open shutter for thirty seconds. ;)

7 days #2 "Action"

Here is the photo that made the cut for my 7 days photo group for day #2. The theme was action. I usually don't like to incorporate photoshop post work into my photos but I wanted to disguise the location so I applied a radial blur to the house and cars. The other blurs are real. Since I was already in PS is also used De-saturation and levels. Yesterdays shot was strait from the camera. Totally legit. I try to set up the shot to be a winner without PS-CS but today it just needed a little extra pep. I still like this shot.

Self portrait BS

I was looking for a self portrait for my 7 days photo group. Today the theme was "action". This is a timer shot. It is very hard to time this perfect. The camera was just sitting on the deck. I knew it would be hard to stay in frame.
