Flash-O-matic

I just received a brand new toy.




A Canon 580 EXII Flash.



Below is a few examples:

The Eyes have it

It had been a time-consuming week and before night came, I decided to go out and snap a few pictures.
After about a dozen shots, I detected a movement in the grass.
Little did I know that those prying eyes had been observing my every move.
Spying on the technique I employ for my award winning pictures.
Collecting all my trade secrets, I'm sure! So I cornered the suspect and took a picture for future reference. After he swore to secrecy, I let him go. A picture of the suspect is to the right.

Here is the link to the pictures taken on this day.

Just blogging along,

I have a couple of photographic projects that I am working on at the moment One of them has to do with a violin. This is a project based around my wife's love for playing the violin. I hope you enjoy the results of this project. It should be posted soon.

The second project has to do with two peas in a pod. This is going to be a little more involved. While working on this project, I have been learning a new lighting concept. We never stop learning. Do we?

As a side note:

I will be going to the Great Smoky Mountains, in November. Hopefully this will give me the chance to obtain a whole new series of photographs. The Smoky Mountains are one of my favorite locations to photograph. I have missed the peak of the Fall season colors, but hopefully have not missed the opportunity to capture the wild life at its best.

Mommy week

I had a fantastic visit with my mother this week. (My mother is pictured on right)
So needless to say I have done nil / nothing else.
I will be back to the grind on Monday.

So hang on.

Most people say the times are tough and going down hill.
But I say use the hill to help pick up speed and your brains to avoid the hard knocks.
Let the good times continue.

I have a new logo.

Can you feel the excitement?

Web Site Status

I am about 90% done with my web page. ( Jumping for Joy )

Some of you got to this page via my web site, if not here is the link to my home page:

http://www.shutterdave.com/


I have put a great deal of time and effort into the web pages just to get to the next step.

So what is the next step? I am glad you asked.

The next step is to start a marketing campaign in order to sell some of my pictures.

I have a few ideas and will let you know more as time goes on.


If you have any input to share with me, it would be greatly appreciated .
