Looking for reflections
Anytime I’m walking around big cities I’m always looking for good reflections. I came across this building with a nice reflection, only thing missing was a dramatic sky.

Riding my pony
I recommend if you take a lot of pictures make sure every so often you go back through them. I have over 23,000 pics in my library (I deleted about 10,000 last year) and it’s real easy to forget pictures that you’ve taken.
This picture was taken at my nephews second birthday 18 months ago. I found it this weekend.

Update to “Gallery”
What’s that?
I always enjoy catching people in action. This shot was taken a few months ago while eating with my nephew. The bartender seemed very interested in what the customer was saying. I guess we’ll never know what?

My favorite food
We ran home for a quick visit with friends and family. Any time we go home I always have to get pizza from Bobe’s Pizza. Growing up I probably ate there at least twice a week.
After we finished eating, our daughter decided she would get on the table and try to entertain everyone. Don’t worry she has vitamin bottles in her hands.

Evening Nap
Depth
I was in Madison Wisconsin this weekend to see my sister and nephew. I had some opportunity to take some shots with my NEX 7. I’m still very happy with it’s results. I think its auto white balance is better than my Leica M9.
This shot is a close-up of an organ’s keys. I really liked the texture of the keys and thought a close-up would work well. I set my f-stop to 1.8 so that I could get some depth of field. I think it turned out well. The “bokeh” is good but in my opinion it’s not as smooth as my Leica lenses.

Repetition
I spent almost 4 years of my life in Des Moines, IA going to school. Twice a year I head back to my old school and each time I spend some time wandering around downtown. It’s not even comparable to Chicago or New York but they have a very nice and beautiful downtown.
A couple of years ago as I was walking around, I noticed that there were a bunch of bike racks with bikes to rent. Since I don’t live there I’m unsure how often they are used but I think it’s a good idea.

Hopewell Church
As I’ve stated many times in the past, I always enjoy taking pictures of old churches. I’m starting to have a good collection of them (maybe I’ll post them all together some time).
This church is near my home town and was taken early evening. This is always a great time to capture landscapes because the shadows are not contrasty and you can often times get great exposure of both the foreground and background.
P.S. I may start reposting some of my post from early last year. I have a lot more followers and think many will appreciate some of my early pictures (don’t worry, I have plenty of fresh pictures also).
