Back to the Races

We headed back to River Downs today so I could work on my panning, it has been decided that panning and horse racing really doesn't go hand in hand, now race cars on the other hand is a different story, that is next.

Cincinnati Reds Fireworks 17-Aug-12

I hung in there and finished post processing, yay me! The fireworks were pretty amazing, parking was easy, the temperature was perfect as was the weather. Fair warning, next Friday is the last event before the WEBN fireworks event over Labor Day weekend. Don't miss out they are so good.

Hope you enjoy.

Here's the Deal

Tonight was the Cincinnati Reds fireworks, it is already midnight and I have a lot of photos to post process, sooooo they may not get uploaded until the morning. I'm getting sleeeeeeepy.

Stay Tune!!!

Oh Baby!!!

Heading our way, this could be a good one. YAY!!!

A Day at the Races

Let me see what did we do today? Silly me! River Downs of course. My club was meeting at River Downs yesterday but I had so much on my plate that I or I should say we headed to the races today instead. I wanted to work on my panning photography.

 The above photo was my first photo, I needed to check my settings, this guy was so funny, he ran by me during his work out with his horse and said "cheese." He must have thought himself quite photogenic as he came back several times to pose for me.

 Warming up time

 The above photo was my first attempt at panning, When I checked my LCD screen it looked so clear, I decided to forget panning and just photograph, ummmm boy did I make a mistake, I had no idea that the panning had turned out. Will be going back soon to try again.

This one happened by mistake. Wish I had just stuck it out and just continued panning.

Boone County Fair, Kentucky

Tonight we went to the Boone County Fair. I had a blast! Greg on the other hand enjoyed himself but I think he was just putting up a front. Did I mention I had a blast? This is my first attempt at photographing rides. I photographed the same scene with different exposure times. Hope you made it out there, tonight was the last night.

Some of the rides were a challenge to photograph as many of the rides were so close together. I did the best I could under the circumstances.

Hope you enjoy.  

Hanging Around the Sunflower Farm

This morning I woke up, got dressed and headed right on out to the sunflower farm in Deerfield Twp., Ohio. I thought the farm would be bigger and the sunflowers taller but it was still fun to photograph. It turned out to be a perfect day when the clouds started to roll in. This sunflower patch is located right across the street from Deerfield Park, off of Irwin-Simpson Rd.
