181/366 - "Trooper Training"

(F/16, 100mm, 2 sec, ISO 100, Canon 5D Mk II)

I was having trouble figuring out what I was going to shoot tonight.  Then I spotted Jonah's LEGO Star Wars figures and had to search around for the action figure to play the parent.  It all came together once I found the old toy school bus.

180/366 - "Yellow Stars"

(F/4, 100mm, 1/40 sec, ISO 100, Canon 5D Mk II)

We were outside playing tonight and in my neighbor's yard are these purple flowers.  I set up for some macro shots.  After I took a look in Lightroom it appears to me that the pieces that make up the eye look like little stars.

179/366 - "Jonah"

(F/4, 40mm, 1/30 sec, ISO 640, Canon 5D Mk II)

Tonight Jonah and I were sitting on the couch watching the Olympic Trials for swimming, and I was able to snap this one.

178/366 - "West End Overlook"

(F/8, 29mm, 3 Exposures, ISO 100, Canon 5D Mk II)

Our Tuesday ride tonight went to the West End Overlook.  With this in mind, I brought my DSLR along for the ride.  I really wish I would have had my tripod, so I had to make the best of the situation.  Handheld bracketing for HDR is something I don't recommend.  It turned out okay, but I will be headed back with a tripod.  I love this view of the city.

177/366 - "Wasp"

(F/8, 100mm, 1/400, ISO 100, Canon 5D Mk II)

This shot is brought to you once again by my neighbor's backyard.  After work I went out and there were bees, wasps, and butterflies all over the place. 

176/366 - "Front Porch"

(F/8, 17mm, 3 Exposures, ISO 100, Canon 5D Mk II)

Today we spent the majority of the day doing chores.  Washing cars, tending the garden, and tiring out the kids.  Sue also hosed off the front porch and since she cleaned it up, I decided to set up and take a shot.  It has been on my list of shots to get with the wide angle and I even made it an HDR shot as well.

175/366 - "New River Gorge Bridge"

(F/8, 22mm, 3 Exposures, ISO 100, Canon 5D Mk II)

On the way home today I convinced Sue that we should take a stop at the overlook so we could all stretch our legs, hit the restrooms, and so I could take a photograph.  This is from the lowest section of the overlook.
