Phred's Photography - Blogithttp://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Phreds_Photography/I've recently gotten into photography. Here I'll be showing off some of my pictures, many of them taken in parks in my home town and along the Oregon coast.hourly12000-01-01T12:00+00:00Pulling the Ripcordhttp://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Phreds_Photography/501763I hadn't intended to break into the story with a personal note, but I've noticed something peculiar over the last few days. More than a month after I signed up here, my earnings had reached a whopping 88 cents...then, yesterday, I noticed that the number had dropped to 80 cents. It's bad enough...Moonedhttp://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Phreds_Photography/501268A shot of the moon I took on the same evening as the two previous sunset pictures. The original image was much larger and the moon much farther away, but there was nothing else in the sky so it wasn't that interesting. So I loaded it in IrfanViewer, zoomed in and cropped it.Contemplating Infinityhttp://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Phreds_Photography/501170Another sunset picture taken in Cape Arago State Park, on the same evening Soar was taken.It's not what it looks likehttp://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Phreds_Photography/500941An...unusual rock formation in Shore Acres Park.http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Phreds_Photography/500505Waves crashing over the rocks in Shore Acres Park.Flybyhttp://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Phreds_Photography/500435Another one taken on the trip to Toledo and Newport, not far from the bridge in the previous picture. A helicopter approached at one point, and just for the hell of it, I zoomed in and snapped a picture while it was still quite some distance away. This one shows another reason why I love my Z612:...Newport Bridgehttp://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Phreds_Photography/500245This one was taken on a trip to visit one of my friends in Toledo, OR. Before I headed back home, he showed me around Newport, and I took a ton of pictures. This is one of my favorites...The Oncoming Stormhttp://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Phreds_Photography/499846I almost always take a camera wherever I go. I keep it in a pouch on my belt, just in case I happen to see something that looks cool enough to photograph. I started doing that because, one day when I was out driving around, I was waiting for a traffic light to turn green and saw a tow truck drive...Tickled Pinkhttp://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Phreds_Photography/499591Here's one I took in a local park named Mingus Park, over a year ago. I've never seen another tree like this one; I went back a few months after this picture was taken, and almost didn't recognize the tree because it had normal-looking green leaves.
