That time again for the farrier to come over and do my geldings feet. I have only had one person do my gelding feet his whole life. My gelding does not hate this process, in fact he gets loads of attention! I thought when I got my young stud colt the best thing I could do for him and me, is teach him when he hears my whistle to come.

When I look back and analyze how my photography has changed over time, I see that the last couple of years were the most eventful in regards to the evolution of my photography. I see that rapid advances in technology, in combination with my attempts to simplify various aspects of my photography, gradually changed my entire workflow.

I made my way outside as the sun was shining to sit in my chair. With camera in hand my sons cat jumped the dogs fence and then on me to lay down in my lap.

I did not know it was going to pour door rain on me! BUT seeing this is when my gelding loves to play...... His white is really white when he is not playing in the mud! Our mare is not as thrilled when it rains , but my gelding gets her going too. I do not make it a habit to play with my horses, they are bigger than me and accidents happen. I stand off to the side as they play. Rule is no acting up when I am standing around them. This is mostly my gelding for he is just a card when it is cool, wet and rainy.

How To Hold a Camera When Photographing - How to hold a digital camera when taking pictures is one of the key factors that determine the level of sharpness and focus of the photos you took. The main reason why is the creation of photo blur due to camera shake. Usually caused by camera shake and how to hold your body position is wrong when the shutter button is pressed. Camera Shake or camera shake often occurs when shooting in low-light conditions (low light) as well as the use of slow shutter speed.

The position holds true digital camera can help you to minimize or even prevent camera shake, and is certain to result in a sharp blur-free photo. Know and understand how to hold the camera the correct position is considered very important to produce good photographs.

Methods of Holding Position Digital Camera
How my friend holding the camera or photographic device usage is actually just individual taste problems, and there is no right and wrong, but to build a habit and determine the proper attitude when shooting from the beginning will give many advantages to you in the future. At least my friend will be seen as a professional photographer when shooting, at least it's a good reason to try it? Here are some tips you can do buddy:

Hold the camera using the right hand to grasp the handle right side of the camera, and place your thumb on the back of the camera, three fingers pointing forward and curled index finger rests on the shutter button. Digital cameras are now mostly well-grip shape that automatically leads Three position where your fingers should be. Hold your digital camera with a strong but not too strong if you do not want to result in blurry photos. The position of the left hand can vary depending on the type of digital camera you have, if my friend using a DSLR camera, then your left hand should be under the weight of the camera with the goal of cameras using the palm of the hand. Thumb and index finger

While deep in the Ochoco Mountains we ran across a nice flowing creek. I love running water and just had to stop!! Upon inspection of where we were it was obvious this spot had been used as a hunting camp. The legs of the elk and the "meat hangers" (we laughed for I am sure there is a real name for them ha) , that were nailed to the trees. The feathers laying around looked as if maybe a turkey was in the mix with the elk? Even a spot for a bathroom. Gave us this impression. Guy wondered further down the creek then I for things happen to catch my eye. So I was wondering around on my own taking shots of the ice that was found where the water was not running fast. As I was doing my thing I heard some racket that was obviously coming from the trees and from birds. As you can imagine wild creatures do not just sit still so one can snap off photographs, so off I went to get this loud birds photographs! There were at least 3 of these birds, however non of them were all that impressed with any of us there! From the information I gathered of this bird, these must of been truly wild Gray Jays!! Not yet ingrained with human presents. I first thought this was a nutcracker. We have many of those around so it seams. Same family as these Gray Jays, but so is the steller's jay,blue jay and the western scrub jay , the crows, the ravens there is a lot of species in the Corvidae family!! From the sub species of the Gray Jay and getting these photographs in the Ochoco mountains this determined these to be the Bicolored Gray Jay. One thing all these birds have in common is, they are very smart!! Smarter then humans give them credit for! Over the Cascade Mountains there is yet another sub species of the Gray Jay over there with different needs and habits. That Gray Jay does not like snow, the ones here better like snow! Like all birds of the Corvidae family, they are pretty much scavengers, however it appears all the species of the Gray Jay have different food s

We watched the Bald Eagles fishing for a while. I understand I need a better tele lens than what I have now for such things as this. It will come. I started out from the truck on the road. Looking down into the canyon I was not sure if I wanted to climb down but found myself doing it!! Guy parked the truck basically just on the dirt road. Over to the side the best he could just so if people were around they could get by it. No where to park! Soon Guy and the dogs were coming too, the dogs found me first of course! We all made our way down into the canyon to the water. Not only were the Bald Eagles fishing, other birds were as well. Their were two adult Bald Eagles and a younger Bald Eagle. The younger one kept trying to take the older ones fish! Big fights ensued. If I did have have this stupid tree in my way!! So we moved locations so the tree would no longer be in my way, though we were in full sight of the eagles as well. So the young Bald Eagle took off out of sight. It did appear that the Bald Eagles were curious as to what we were, and why we were there! They checked us out several times. Than the ducks, and other wildlife left. All three Bald Eagles took off to the other side of the canyon and that was that. To my understanding that side of the canyon belongs to the Warm Spring Indian Reservation, though I could be wrong. The older adults perched in the same tree, while the younger one went into a tree where he could hide from our view. We seen some of his white, but he was not to secure as the older ones were about us seeing him! It was pretty obvious that this younger Bald Eagle was not comfortable around people, or what the eagle did not understand. Here are several photographs of one of the older Bald Eagles fishing.

When I take photographs I take them for me first. I went really public with my photographs a little while ago on this computer, some of you have even been with me through this process. With all the stuff I heard about computers and all.... I just kept them off the computer. Now with over 92,000 visitors to my site I think I have hopefully given people a little entertainment sharing our life over here in Oregon? I am enjoying showing and selling my photography to the world on the computer! I am even doing photograph calls n....

I got hooked on digital photography when our owner gave us his digital camera to use after he saw that we could add actual food pictures to our menus and promotional materials instead of just cliparts. The first round of pictures was really simple, real novice looking. The knob on the camera had this letters that was strange to me. Slowly but surely I learned how to use this different settings. Now my pictures look better, not great but better. Presently I have two cameras one a point and shoot type. And another slightly professional, a Sony. Our company has since changed the company camera which is in my care now. Its a Canon EOS 1000D and its great especially for closeup shots. I still do food shots for our menus and promotional materials but now I always bring my cameras around everywhere go.

The notion that my creativity and productivity would be sapped by 'mommy brain' or that my professional development would stall because it would no longer be a priority, was (and still is) utterly sexist in my view. After all, nobody asks fathers how they will continue to be successful in their careers after having children.

My movie is composed of many pictures, yet it has just one message: Fine arts are our shoe, but not the goal. Welcome to my pictures. I am grateful for your comments.
