One plastic cup, some water, some soap and a straw = babysitter for 6 kids for 1 hour.
New car smell
I bought a 2006 Volkswagen Jetta last week. It’s great to have a new car (except when the payment comes around). Our old car was costing me too much money.
This big
For the life of me I can’t remember what this guy was saying. You’d think he was talking about fishing based on his hand gestures, but, we were at the Grand Canyon and nowhere near water. I wasn’t actually paying attention at the moment, I was just amused by his mannerisms and how intently everyone was listening to him.
Hummmmm

I hadn’t ever tried stacking a polorizer and a neutral density filter to get the smooth water, but it worked well here even for being almost noon with little cloud coverage. In the past I had always shot in lower light (like at sunset)with long exposures which works but you run the risk of the other areas in the shot not being as sharp because of slight movements. Another benefit to doing it this way and at this time of the day is you don’t have to fight with bugs as much!
Chocked Wheels
Hooray for decent weather! I finally got to get out and do some shooting! I wandered around the Springfield downtown area for awhile. I didn’t get as many good shots as I had hoped for, but it was sure relaxing. Plus I finally got to use my new Manfrotto 3021 tripod and 3265 Grip action head and man I love it! It’s so…steady and well controlled. I also tried out my new infrared lens filter, but I must have been doing something wrong because I got a bunch shots that look like something from an acid trip or something. They all came out a weird pinkish red tint. I’ll have to do some research on that later!
