I'm glad that i'm to a point where I can appreciate the little things. I wish I was at this stage when Eli was young but unfortunately that isn't the way things work out. I now realize how fast things move. How a weekly thing like cooking pancakes at my Aunt's seems like its hourly. I'm glad I realize that my memory just isn't good enough to take in all the moments I want to remember. I'm glad that my two nephews are closer to me more than ever before and that through them I get those feelings back that I want to remember. I'm also glad that I have a passion to put these moments into two dimensional art that should stay with me for sometime. I'm glad that their are ways around the human mind to live life over...

Posing Anhinga
Nothing particularly amazing but it was my first nature shoot with a semi-long (300mm) lens. The Anhinga is not great looking nor hard to get a shot of, at the everglades you can practically pet them they are so accustomed to people. Its the first time I had a chance to get this close to wildlife and have a nice shot with some Bokeh. The D200 color and resolution continue to impress which makes me want to creat blog posts and share the evolution of my style. Nikon D200 200mm 1/250th f/7.1 @ ISO 200.

Everglades
I took my first trip to the everglades today, which is sad since i've lived in south Florida my whole life. I shot a roll of Kodak 400 and a half roll of Kodak 400 B&W. I shot about 40 JPEG's in color on my D200.
But it seems it always happens this way. I was trying to plan my shots and get something worthwhile to post on the blog. I got in my truck and reviewed the digital shots i'd taken and didn't like a single one.
I was leaving the park and on the way out saw a landscape I might take a try at. It was on the other side of the road so when I entered the trees skyed over me and it couldn't be seen.
So I pulled over and grabbed the D200 which I hadn't put in the case. Switched to custom shooting setting C which I have set to JPEG, B&W.
