Not Much Time Left

With just two days until we leave for Northern Ireland, my wife and I have very little time.  We went for an extremely quick bike ride today, though, and I grabbed my camera...thinking it might be my only chance for a picture of any interest...

Biking at Warp Speed

What looks like traveling at a great speed is really just a pretty slow speed on a bicycle.  Apparently motion lines/blur can be deceiving.

 Holding the Walls Up

These ladders appear to be holding up the walls of an old building.  They are not.

Kitty Motion

I asked my wife what I should take a picture of today.  She suggested the cat...I said I've done that before.  But then I realized I am yet to do a bunch of stills that equal one big leaping or pouncing cat.  So that is what I did.  She made the cat jump up and I got the necessary images.

Rappaccini Takes Flight

Sorry that I couldn't do them all as one image, but if I did it that way you wouldn't be able to click on it and see it in a much bigger form.  ...Check out that axel that my cat did.

The Veins of Nature

Nature's veins run close to the surface.  They don't hide behind flesh and fat like ours do.

Nature's Veins

While taking the photograph, a wind kicked up.  It only moved a portion of this red currant leaf.

Self Portrait Series

I decided to try to continue one of the series I started the other day.  The series is a grouping of photos of different parts of my body with something significant attached to that part, be it conceptual or physical.  Today's is based off of my constant urges to be moving.  Whether it is hiking, biking, running, or traveling to a different country, I'm not one to ever really stop moving.  If I stop moving physically, my mind picks up where my feet left off and keeps on going.

Idle Will Kill

I tried to capture the image in a way that exemplifies the idea of motion or "going."  I toyed with using a slow shutter speed to actually get good blur, but I feel this image resulted in a better representation of something starting in one place and ending in another.

Midnight Mist

Apparently having rather busy weekends gets in the way of posting pictures...also taking them.  Luckily I had my camera with me while driving around with my wife, brother, and his girlfriend.  I shot this photo with a long shutter speed, partially to blur the outside world (I was in a moving car (hoping the extra blurry effect would be interesting)) but more so because it was late at night and without it I would not have been able to get an image at all. 

Midnight Mist

It might not be anything special, but the minimal amount of defined subject makes for a style rather different from my usual style.  The trees were lost in the dark mist to begin with.  The long shutter speed made them even less defined.
