Pops Photos
Cloud Bank Background
When I take photos, I usually take a lot. Then I load them on to my computer and pick out one or two that I like and share them. All the other images from that day are still on my computer. When things are slow – photography wise – I’ll look through some of those photos I passed on the first time around and see if there’s something worth bringing out.
This photograph is one taken in 2009 using my old Kodak EasyShare DX7590. It is the Kewaunee Lighthouse. The lighthouse is actually a supporting actor. I think the clouds are the real star and makes this image a keeper for me. The flock of birds provide a nice accent.
As I often do with photos that don’t quite dazzle me on their own, I added a digital effect to this one using a Photoshop filter.

Fire Painted In the Sky
I’m always watching the sky. Here, in northeast Wisconsin, we seem to have the coolest sunrises and sunsets. This prime example dates back a few years; back to March of ’07.
My wife and I had just settled in on the sofa to watch a DVD when I noticed some color in the sky out my living room window. I had to pause the video and run outside with my camera to fill a few frames with this beauty. I remember being very excited about what I was seeing and hoping, beyond hope, that the camera would capture the shear glory of it. As you can see, I think my old Kodak Easyshare DX7590 did an exceptional job.
About being left on the sofa in “pause” mode, my wife simply said, “I kinda thought this was going to happen.” She knows me well.
