My Flickr

Just letting everyone know that I now have a Flickr account. If you look to the right of this post on the sidebar you will see a slideshow of my pics. This slideshow is fed from my Flickr account that randomizes the pics and shows them. So as I add new pics to my Flickr account they will be displayed here too.
Here is a link to my Flickr gallery http://www.flickr.com/photos/ethanv09/
I have also just created a new Flickr group called "Tennessee Nature Photography". The purpose of the group is to showcase the true natural beauty of Tennessee.
Here is a link to the group http://www.flickr.com/groups/1611780@N25/ fell free to check it out and please join if you would like :)
In the next couple of days I will be posting some new pics from Cane Creek Park in Cookeville, TN so be sure to watch out for that. Thanks for stopping by.

New Pics

Last weekend it was beautiful in middle Tennessee so I took the opportunity to do some nature photography. At this point in spring there are a lot of small flowers and bushes in blooms and there is some trees in bloom also. Here are three of my favorite photos

         This is a picture of a plum tree in bloom.

This is a picture of a "for cynthia" plant in bloom.

This shot is of a Bradford pear tree in bloom.

As I have said before spring is one of my favorite times for photography. I will continue to update my blog and add new photos as I take them. As far as other news goes I haven't been able to go back to Burgess Falls this week due to school (Calculus to be specific) so I hope to be going there in the next couple of weeks. Monday or Tuesday I should have some more spring flower and nature pics posted so be sure to check back. Thanks for stopping by.

Its Been a While

It sure has been a while since my last blog update but that will be no more. I am going to stick with it and blog regularly!
Spring is one of the best times for nature photography. Next week I am planning on going to Burgess Falls State Park in TN for my first major spring photography outing. I have been to the park twice before last summer but I have new equipment that will hopefully improve my pics. I will post a couple of pics on here but I will post a link to my website so that you can see all my pics of the falls. I look forward to updating my blog again and sharing with you some of my photography adventures.

Here is a pic of the falls from last summer

I love taking pics of flowers and I have been trying to take as many pics of them as I can especially since the past few weeks the flowers have been in high bloom. These are only a few of what I took but I will try to make a new post maybe tomorrow. I hope you guys liked them tell me what you think about them thanks :)

Busy Week

This week was a good but busy week. Monday- Wednesday I was able to take some more pics of flowers, birds, and even some storm clouds. Thursday and Friday I worked with my grandpa doing electrical work on a house. It was burning up outside but we managed to get a lot of work done. We even worked half the day today. Anyway I have some new Pics :)

This is a pic of a red flower that is growing in the flower garden right outside our house. It was early morning and I had just finished watering the plants when I noticed all the water droplets that had formed on its leaves. This is one of my favorite flower pics.

I have been working on my black and white photography and this is one of the first plants I have ever tried to capture in black and white. Leave a comment and tell me what you think of it.

For this picture I used the Sepia setting on my camera to give it this rustic look of the morning sky

These are just a few of the pics I took this week but I may upload some more tonight i am not sure. Anyway I   am about to go to the movies to see A-Team hopefully its good. :)

A New Hobby

I have always loved taking pictures even since I was young, but I never really tried to do anything with it but now I have decided to make something of it. I will be posting from time to time pictures that I have taken and the stories behind taking them.  

Here is a sunset I took last week on a farm down from our house

This is a Tiger Lily in our flower garden.

Please leave comments on what you think of these two photos and there will be more to come :)
