So...it's been a year since I last posted. While I was in DC watching Jill's sister participate in the MCM (Katie finished in 2:54, 7(?)th place for females), we were walking around the National Mall and such. While we were out and about, I snapped this shot of the tip of the Washington Monument (haha). I liked that it dominated the left of the frame, while two jet trails from passing aircraft added a little something to the right part of the frame.

I'll see if I can't get a little better at adding pics to this thing. We'll see how that goes.

After while crocodile

This past weekend, my girlfriend and I took a trip to the Baltimore Aquarium. It was a lot of fun and we got to see lots of creepy crawlies and swimmy swimmies (?). I took this shot of a restful crocodile, who looked much less menacing from above the water. Go fig, right?

Oh and before I forget, I upped the temperature on this pic slightly. I thought the 'heat' gave the picture a little more texture.

Training Camp 2010

So, two weeks ago, I traveled up to Albany, NY, to attend my 6th NY Giants training camp. While there, I took a ton of pics. Here are 6 pics displayed sequentially of Eli Manning throwing a deep out (?) to Ramses Barden in a drill. You can follow the ball from the QB to the WR—well for some reason the pic of the actual catch wasn't so hot, but you get the idea!

STL window

On 7/16/2010, Jill and I were on our way to the Cardinals v. Dodgers game in St. Louis, and while we were walking I snapped this picture of a building reflected off the glass side of another. It's sort of a thing I like to do. I darkened the image a bit in Elements, but I was pretty happy with it either way.

Capturing lightning

We had a wicked thunderstorm pass through the area the other night and I tried to catch a few lightning strikes from my bathroom window. Here are two shots, one with actual lightning and the other was just kinda moody.

Sunset at the River House

Okay, so we had a little Father's Day dinner down at my sister's family's river house and after food, I took the camera out and shot a good 30 pics of the sun going down. I monkeyed around with this RAW pic in Elements and I think it turned out pretty well.

Tree leaf

So, I was in DC the weekend of June 5th and 6th to witness the Race for the Cure. Afterward, I wandered around with my girlfriend, her sister and her sister's hubby. Here are a few pics. The tree leaf one came out pretty well, if I do say so myself.
