Inclusive Photography

Yesterday out driving around and doing a bit of Doordashing, I came across this antique truck just sitting in the middle of a small field. Being a sucker for photos of old antique buildings, farm equipment, and cars, it called me. Fortunately, I just happened to take my camera with me, so I turned around. It also happens that a storm had just started and so it was thundering and raining while I tried to get the shot, but I got it.

Friends, Family, and Acquaintances.... for the first time ever I've taken a chance and entered my first photo contest. Yes, I took the photo. Humbly and with much thanks, I ask for your vote during round 1 of voting in order to advance to round 2. This round of voting ends July 7th.

Please vote for my photo in the America’s Favorite Photos competition:

A few recent random photos taken just before sunset, as the sun began to set, and after dark. A small storm was also rolling in.

I've never tried taking photos of fireworks since I got into photography so tonight I thought I would give it a shot. Not having time to get a hold of my mentor, Vinny Colucci, I quickly looked up Canon's recommended settings. Needless to say it was a near disaster fumbling through my settings, making the necessary necessary changes recommended to get it just right only to realize that I forgot one setting. After making that change, I managed to get one shot that even remotely looks decent (at least compared to the others) before my camera died because I didn't realize my battery was dying when I took it out. If I had more battery, I might have been able to get it right, but anyway lesson learned and here it is. Be kind, I'm only a beginner.

Sat outside my back door yesterday morning to try and capture the birds that are usually out there in the mornings with no luck since they seemed to disappear today. Instead, despite the cloudy and rainy weather, I was able to get a few of our squirrel friends that take up residence in the tree and old shed behind us.
