Some of My Favorite Pictures

Recently Michelle and I made a photo wall in our house.  We went through all of our photos and printed a bunch and I thought I would share some of my favorite pictures.  A little background, in college Michelle took a couple of photography classes.  I helped her and learned quite a bit and got pretty good at understanding the technical side of photography.  Michelle has a eye for composition and the artsy side of photography.  So together we make a pretty good photographer! ;)

I love water shots with longer shutter speeds so the white water is fuzzy. This is one of the first times I was able to capture this effect.

 Michelle will spot shots like this as we drive places and we will pull over almost anywhere to get it!

 This one and the next one are a great couple of examples of Michelle's eye for composition!

 Michelle loves shooting old wood and farm machinery.  She does an awesome job!

 Michelle does a great job of capturing nature shots, this one from Oak Creek Canyon.

 Fire pictures intrigue me almost as much as camping with a fire itself!

 And I love sunset pictures, Michelle snapped this one in San Diego.

This was a great picture Michelle took while we were camping.  This was in the middle of the night with a long exposure. 

This and the next one show me how I just get lucky sometimes and why I love digital photography so I can just shoot a ton of pictures and eventually get some awesome shots!

Again I love sunrises and sunsets! This was in Alaska.

 This one was in Arizona

Again I got lucky as I caught this lion looking like it was letting out a huge roar (it was actually yawning, but you can't tell in the picture!).

Michelle always makes fun of me because I learned about framing and so when ever I see a tree and particularly dead scraggly trees I have to put them in the pictures.  I think half of the pictures I took at the Grand Canyon had a scraggly old tree in them!

Another great example of Michelle capturing the old farm shots!
