Dixie, originally uploaded by LeggNet.

Dixie used to live with us, but has since moved on to my brother-in-law’s workshop. She has such a vivacious personality and loves to show off. Here is a capture of her sitting atop an office divider recently as she was visiting a local scout troop.

A Bee!, originally uploaded by LeggNet.

This fellow showed up alongside the pool while we were swimming recently. Needless to say, he caused quite a stir with the children in attendance.

Even though I didn’t have a lens capable of extreme close-ups with me at the time, this capture does show quite a bit of detail, especially in the wings.

London Bridge Channel, originally uploaded by LeggNet.

Greetings from Lake Havasu City, Arizona.

This capture was made last night on the London Bridge Channel. If you’re not familiar with the story, the original London Bridge (yes, the one that’s falling down) was dismantled in the sixties and sold to a businessman who had it re-assembled in Lake Havasu City, Arizona in 1971. It now serves as the central point of the London Bridge Channel on Lake Havasu, a western mecca to boating enthusiasts everywhere.

The whispy clouds add dramatically to the color reflectiveness of the sunset. I like how the waves in the clouds are nearly symetrical with the waves on the water.

Stream through a Meadow, originally uploaded by LeggNet.

This capture was made in Bluffdale (Utah) alongside a major road. While driving through the area, I noticed this serene scene and stopped to make this capture. The softness of the light along with the lushness of the meadow draws me into this scene. It’s hard to imagine that just one week prior, this meadow was covered in a layer of fresh now.

…at the park, originally uploaded by LeggNet.

I haven’t featured any photos of my children for awhile, so I thought I would share this recent one made at a local park.

What draws me to this capture is her eyes and how they are looking so clearly at the camera. Elisabeth photographs very well, but seldom has a cheesy “take my picture” grin.

Green V8 Ford, originally uploaded by LeggNet.

Featured today is a close-up of the front of an old Ford cargo van. I’m not sure of the age, but it appears to be from the 50’s. It is painted “Krispy Kreme” green and sits in front of a local doughnut shop for advertisement. If you look closely, you can see a reflection of my car on the left side.

Boxcars, originally uploaded by LeggNet.

Caught these boxcars travelling by on a recent trip up north. I panned the camera to follow the train as it went by, causing the blur effect on the background. Adding the copper/sepia tone and the saturation created the ‘antiqued’ look I desired.

Mad Scientist, originally uploaded by LeggNet.

Leland is a good friend of mine and deserving of his very own blog post.

This spontaneous capture was made last night at a dinner party while I was showing someone the different types of strobe settings (this one is bounced with no diffuser).

This is pretty much the expression Leland has all the time 🙂
