Summer Chicago Trip

This past summer I went to Chicago to attend a wedding. As I have already posted many of the wedding pictures on my Facebook profile Im just going to post some pictures from around the city and other places. As you can see there are plenty of tall buildings to stand at the bottom of.

Palm Safari

Sunsets in Florida redefine sunsets. Never have I seen such strong colors or almost artistic looking skyscapes as I have in Florida. I call this one Palm Safari because it almost seems like a safari shot with the exception of that one lone palm tree.

Mom

I was going through some pictures recently and found this one. It is of my mom sitting down reading a book. It was a spur of the moment kind of picture which resulted in a great natural expression.

Tailgating With Friends

Here a couple of portraits from tailgating at the LSU vs. Florida game. Alot of them came out blurry so this is the most of could get out of them. There will be plenty of shots from this weekends coming game, LSU vs. LA Tech. Hopefully I will even be able to feature some of my friends who are also photographers.

Facebook Port

I have had an album on Facebook that I've been using to exhibit my photos. I decided to switch them over to the blog today as to collect all of them on one site.

Jacksonville, Florida : My Recent Trip

Here are some shots from my recent trip to Florida. The nighttime shot at the beach was a 30 second exposure. That means that I set the camera to leave the shutter open and absorb light for 30 seconds. The only reason it came out this dark was because it was 12 at night. For any of you that decide to try this don't forget to have a tripod or a steady surface to put the camera on because even pressing the shutter button could create shake that will blur the image.

Tiger-rama

I decided to try a panorama for the first time so I started thinking "where would be a good place tot try this out? What scene has to many interesting activities to fit into one frame?" The Indian Mounds. For those of you who have never been on LSU's campus during gameday, your missing out. Campus transforms completely. It is not so much a school campus as it is a haven for diehard LSU fans from all around the state who set up shop on any piece of land that they can fit on. This panorama includes the two mounds on either side with Huey Long Field House in the middle.

Natchez Balloon Festival

On November 20th I attended the Natchez Balloon Festival in Natchez, Mississippi. I had a great time shooting pictures of many things through the day. Natchez has a lot of character making it a great place for photos of all sorts. Throughout the course of the day we saw hot air balloons, live concerts, and monumental homes. Take a look and see for yourself.

Beginning the Vision...

This post marks the first step of making Images of a Vision a thriving part of my usual activities. The first set of photos will be of the Natchez Balloon Festival. Although it was a hot air balloon festival, there were plenty of other things there to keep you entertained. They had some great bands playing such as Better Than Ezra and an extremely talented group named Johnny Sketch and the Dirty Notes. I would like to ask everyone who visits to leave comments and even suggestions as to what you would like to see on this blog. Thanks a lot for visiting, don't forget to tell your friends, and have a good day.
