I wish I was in San Francisco attending the Drink and Click event.  I was just in the same area earlier in the week, but didn't have my tripod with me.  This was about the best I could do handheld from where we were at.  Looking forward to seeing pics from everyone there tonight to see "what might have been."

A New Dawn

Looking for some feedback: 

Does horizon straight through the middle work for this image, or should I try to crop to top or bottom third?  I didn't want to crop the foreground, but I also didn't want to lose the color change in the sky.  Ideally I would have gotten this right out of camera, but not sure what I should do now.  Thoughts?

I can't believe how fast that went!!

For anyone who has been following over the past 10 days, you know what this is all about. 
I give 10 items to 500 photographers of every level,
I give them a month to shoot their take of the item
I collect all images, make them anonymous and have them judged.
I then present each album to the world! (or... my G+ piece of it anyway!)

If you would like to sign up for the next round
Be online at 12 noon (mountain time zone) on Saturday, November 3rd and watch my profile page.
There are 250 spots open 
Spots go FAST (pre-sign for the next round was filled up within 30 minutes) so make SURE you are ready at your keyboard!!

The next round will be a HOLIDAYSPE... more »

The VISUAL ARTISTS CIRCLE –– Announcement Post* | *READ ALL Before You Ask For Inclusion

#CircleSharingForThePeopleVACb (Do NOT tag images with this hashtag!)

By now everybody knows that I have emptied all shared circles in order to bring some more freshness and interestingness into them again –– the same with my popular Visual Artists Circle. That means that the VAC will be all new and fresh as well, and you will have an excellent way of promoting yourself and find new interesting artists via this very popular circle.

READ the WHOLE post BEFORE you ask for inclusion.

What is the VAC?
It is a circle for people that share whatever art they are into in their streams. Whether you're a happy amateur or a pro and really like photography, videography, painting, or whatever art-form you prefer, this is a circle foryou. So, I... more »

Chillin

I haven't had much time to take any pics lately, but here is a quick snap that I took of the newborn this afternoon.  This was a practice shot for this weekend as I am going to try to get some good photos of the kid.  

The more I try to do shots like this, the more I appreciate the pros.  I used to dread and avoid paying for professional photos (and looked for cheap options), but now I seem to be more willing to pay for someone that knows what they are doing.  Time to save up some cash for some new family pics.  :-)

2,000 Kick Ass Photographers on Google+

Part 4 of 4 (Ro-Z)

Part 1 of 4 (A-Ev) here:  http://goo.gl/Z333g
Part 2 of 4 (Ev-La) here:  http://goo.gl/dX7lR
Part 3 of 4 (La-Ro) here:  http://goo.gl/MP1Q2

This is the fourth time since joining G+ almost a year ago that I'm sharing my photographers circle.  I shared it with 500 photographers, 1,000 photographers, 1,500 photographers and now 2,000 photographers.  I have to break my circle up into four 500 photographer circles as that is the G+ limit.  Each day this week (Mon.- Thurs.) I'll share a different circle.  Today is the third circle and includes photographers with the last name's Ro-Z. 

A few notes about these circles.  I always get hated on when I share them by people.  Inevitably if I include 2,000 people, I will leave 50,000 people out.  This is not intentional orpersonal. ... more »

My Little Angel

I had the opportunity to take a couple of shots of my daughter who was a flower girl in a wedding this weekend.  I've got to admit I blew out some whites in that dress.  Lots of respect for those wedding photographers out there - tough job and I can't imagine the amount of stress involved.

This weeks theme was tough since I only made it out with the camera a couple times this week, and the skies were completely clear on both attempts. I decided to go with a different view of the KC skyline.
