Frozen Fountain in Alpharetta

Frozen Fountain

Here is something we just don’t get to see too frequently in Atlanta. Most of the time, below freezing temps come and go in 24-36 hours. I think we have been below freezing for about a week. Small ponds that do not see much sunlight are even frozen over. I suppose it’s a neat treat, but since I am from Miami I don’t quite see it that way. I’m ready for some warmth!

Camp Grace

Our Keller Williams office in Roswell contributes time and money to Camp Grace, an organization that helps at-risk children by providing them a safe camp environment with mentors to help improve the children’s lives. Camp Grace recently moved to a beautiful facility near Macon and several people from our office went down for a day of fence building and painting. The slideshow is some of the pictures from that event.

Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey in Atlanta

It’s been some time since I’ve gotten a post up – been quite busy at work and wanted to make this site look a little better. Anyway, we went to the circus at Phillips Arena in February and I was pleasantly surprised by the circus. It really was an excellent production. Below are the best of the shots that I got. It was quite dark in the arena and this was my first run at a darker environment with higher ISO like 1600 and 3200. Enjoy…

A Drop of Water – Take 2

So, I got some advice over at the photo forum to improve these water drops and couldn’t leave well enough alone. This was done at 1/200 and ISO 100. Much better calrity in this shot. I have some more I’ll post in a gallery when I get a few moments that look better than this one.

The first thing that I learned today while shooting this was that it takes a great deal of light to shoot at 1/4000 of a second. I think I reached the very edge of the capablilites of my camera to make this shot work. It’s shot at 1/4000 and I had the flash on plus to contractor grade halogen lights on either side of the water container. I shot it in a semi-transparent red glass container.

Editing the photo, all that I did was remove the noise, increase the exposure a touch set the white balance to tungsten.
