Hey everybody. Yes, I'm still alive and kicking; I've just been procrastinating big time (what else is new) about updating my dA.
I finally posted those fireworks pics I promised ages ago, along with a couple sunset shots, a new ID, a Star Trek wallpaper I threw together, and I just remembered that I forgot to post a pic I took of an owl in a barn window. Coming up right after I finish this posting.
As usual, I apologize for not thanking those who have left comments or
's on my deviations. Hopefully, I can turn over a new leaf this year, and try to keep up with my dA!
The photography bug is starting to bite again, so I will try to take pictures more often, and get them up here within a few days, rather than *counting on fingers* ... seven months ...

'Thank You' time yet again
Yet again, I have let more than an entire month go by without thanking those people who have marked my pictures as :+fav:'s ... time to go through the list and send out a big ol' "Thank You" to each and every one of you!
Whenever I see a new :+fav: in my inbox, it makes it all worth it, knowing that others are appreciating and enjoying the pictures that I post!
Speaking of posting, I should be posting a slew of new pics sometime soon ... a few sunset pics taken the other night at my fav spot, a few from a thunderstorm a few nights back (didn't get any really great lightning pics, but I tried! Capturing a lightning shot is even harder than
Fireworks Pictures
Well, after going back through the pictures with my wife, we picked out another 10 pics, so there's a total of 40 fireworks shots that'll be posted in my gallery, A.S.A.P. ... if I get time tomorrow, I'll try to get them all up, but if I don't finish, they won't get up til early next week, as I'm going away for the weekend.
If anyone wants a preview, I posted a contact sheet in my scraps section. :)
I'm mostly happy with the new framing format; I used a 10 px white border around the pic, a 50 px black border beyond that, and an additional 150 px of black at the bottom, wherein I put the title in 60 pt Century Gothic, and my deviant ID in 25
Happy 4th of July
Happy 4th, a day late, everyone!
I took tons of fireworks shots last night, trying to go thru them all now to see what ones I wanna post...narrowed it down to 70 out of the 211 pics I took, so far. I'll probably knock it down to at least half that; I don't wanna flood my gallery with that many fireworks shots (do I??) ... ;)
I used the Fireworks scene mode on my new Canon; they turned out okay...looks like that mode sets it to a longer exposure; all streaks of light, rather than points, but that's okay, some of them turned out pretty cool. Next time I try to take pics of fireworks, though, I'll have to try to experiment with the settings

The new camera is working out GREAT. Now, when I review the shots I take at any given time, I don't think "gotta pick the ones that turned out", I instead think "now which of these shots do I like the best?". :)
The days of half of my pictures or more turning out blurry and unusable are pretty much a thing of the past. Thank you, Image Stabilization!
I'm loving the zoom; it makes such a huge difference to be able to zoom in that far and frame your shots differently, and still have them come out at full resolution and quality. I don't think I could ever go back to a camera without at least 10x zoom, after using this.
