Painting with light.

  I've been waiting for some sun and some clear non rainy nights when I could go practice some light painting with my camera. Wednesday and Thursday allowed me to be able to do this. Set out Wednesday and had equipment problems due to user error. Finally figured out what was going on Thursday morning, and went back Thursday night with much better results. Turns out one of the settings I had my camera on were messing with the remote timer. I Shot late into the night and here are a few of the following results. Even though Wednesday night had some frustration Thursday more than made up for it(gotta put in the work for the results right?). Can't wait to go out and do some more.

Watercolor effect

 Had a fun time with my wife doing a photo shoot. Actually these are from a few different shoots, but I used basically the same effect on them. Wanted to get a watercolor feel. I think the two hit the spot pretty well. Then I wanted to see if the same could be done with words. That came out pretty good too.

Watercolor two

Similar effect but with words.

Yesterdays paddle

Finally got a new racing board after saving for a good while. Tried it out the other day with Mrs.Woods and J Brown. Super fast and glides on any bump. Can't wait for some races! Big huge thanks to Stoke Harvester for helping me get the board/ Few pics from the paddle..more to come.

Sunsets

Just a few images from some of the sunsets going by here in the Northwest.



Loving the colors of spring! 




Paddle Training

With the weather getting better every week, it's time to start getting longer distance paddles in. The sun is up longer and the winds are usually not too bad. My friend Jon and I did this route this last Sunday. Nice 9 miler(give or take a quarter or less)to give you a little burn. Good stuff!

9 mile route in red. Fun!
