Photons Everywhere

Yesterday I took part in the 2010 Scott Kelby Worldwide Photowalk which had a participation of 1111 locations and over 30,000 Photographers.

Last year I participated in Historic Roswell and this year I decided to take part in Downtown Atlanta. Unfortunately no Group Photo this year. Our leader was unfortunately more of a follower.

Below are my selected 25

So after some absence here I am again. Had some family visit last week for my birthday and I took them out to see the Amicalola Falls near Dawsonville, GA. I have visited that location a few time s and there are possible numerous shots on this site but this time I was out to play with my 2x extender I got from my lovely wife

Below is a shot of the rim of the falls at 400mm (using my 70-200L lens + extender)

Took a little stroll around town to see what is happening. Yeah. Not too much. Cops are trapping poor motorists in love of some speed….

Radar Trap

…and some old Vietnam era Vehicles rust away at some restaurant. Overall not the most exciting day out but a day out nonetheless.

So this is my last batch of the Helicopter ride photos. I hope you enjoyed them.

So last Sunday was my two year anniversary and my lovely wife got me a Helicopter round-trip over Atlanta.
Taking off at PDK we flew towards Buckhead – Midtown and then Downtown finally reaching Turner Field.

It was a really nice experience and I don’t think I have ever taken that many photos in a 25 minute period.
Since in a small-ish Helicopter I did not take too much time composing and only carried one lens there is a lot of stuff to wade through so here my first leg… The take-off.

I have decided to move my blog to a new Host. I had hosted this blog with wordpress.org for some time and was very happy with it but it is somewhat limited – moving to a new host gives me the chance to expand the blog a bit and better connect it to my Gallery site.

Below some photos I took a while back at Atlantic Station. I hope you enjoy.

Hello Again – Long time no read
I think I am just going to give up on trying to force myself to write more on this blog. It just never happens.
Actually I tried to make myself start a Project 365 this year and I made it exactly 0 days. I failed on January 1 to take a photo.

Anyway. Took some photos late last year which turned out quite nice. Let me know what you think.

I hope you all have a Happy New Year. Hope at least one of your wishes will be fulfilled.
