My daughter Kara playing guitar hero that she got for Christmas.  She is the mad drummer right now, pounding away on the drum heads to the beat.  She got the Xbox360 elite (our old XBOX died in the fall).  Guitar Hero World edition and a new flat 
 panel TV that you cannot see.

The TV I had promised if she got good grades this year I would replace the old analog set with a new unit.  Well, 4 A's and 3 B's later  with the A's in here core subjects I lived up to my end of the bargain

Note that you can actually see the floor & I am in the closet taking the shot and that is clean

My daughter Kara and Mittens

John (300m) > Nov 2:  Smugmuger visit the Eastern Shore
I had the pleasure of having lunch with Hillary, her husband Steve, and Alex.  We all meet in Cape Charles on the eastern shore for the afternoon to do some talking, talk cameras, photo's and to take some pictures.  We had a VERY enjoyable afternoon and my wife Brenda and daughter Kara enjoyed meeting everyone.  My wife succeeded in her mission of staying out of the photo's :)  The group shot on the top was taken by my wife Brenda of the 3 of us, Alex, Hillary & myself.  I must say is was a great afternoon and we did not end up leaving till late that day  Looking forward to meeting these folks again and other members.  I have not looked yet, but I look forward to seeing the others group shot.  Have a great day!
John (300m) > Oct 19  The smile that warms my heart
This shot was taken last week but I was not able to do some needed editing on the picture to remove some of the details the harsh direct light my big flash rendered.  I was able yesterday to do this editing after my inside chores were done as it rained all day.  I got this close but I was not able to get the tone right.  The final tweak on the tone was done by Kathleen (kre8ive) for me to remove some of the cast on the skin my daughter would not like.  Thanks Kathleen from both Kara & I.  We appreciate the help!!!

John (300m) > July 12:  Simplicity
We went out to the James RIver Bridge to capture a sunset from a different vantage point.  The sunset looked good till 15 min before set when the sun went behind a bank of clouds.  The sky had some moderate color, but no sun.  Very cloudy.  This is a shot I took of my daughter after she lost interest in taking pictures of the listless sky walking along the waters edge looking for shell.  I converted the shot to B&W and was pleased wit the results.  I like the simplicity of the shot and the fact that the girl is my daughter in the shot
Here is a link to the alt shot I had for today, a night shot along the james river.  It would be to the left of this shot    Alt DP Choice  This was a timed shot using my new RRD ball head
John (300m) > May 4th:  Kara & 50% of her "buddies"
We are cleaning Kara's room and had a lot of her buddies out of the room.  There is still a bunch on the shelves that line the room walls.  I thought for a DP I wold get a shot of Kara and her main buddies.  She is holding her #1 Cinnamon and a lot of these are webkinz.  Everyone is named also.  I thought the shot was cute.  I took the picture from my wife's recliner with the SB800 flash on the camera and a Lumiquest big bounce on the flash.

John (300m) > Full pull of the bow with Tom giving instructions on how to hold and pull.  Tom checked the fit and made many adjustments before he let Kara actually shoot the bow.  Fit took about 2 hrs.
John (300m) > Test of the fit again, knocking of the arrow under Tom's watchful eye.

My daughter Kara playing guitar hero that she got for Christmas. She is the mad drummer right now, pounding away on the drum heads to the beat. She got the Xbox360 elite (our old XBOX died in the fall). Guitar Hero World edition and a new flat
panel TV that you cannot see.

The TV I had promised if she got good grades this year I would replace the old analog set with a new unit. Well, 4 A's and 3 B's later with the A's in here core subjects I lived up to my end of the bargain
