My Father – Thanksgiving Day 2011

November 25, 2011 by Bill Caddy | Comments Off

Sometimes, it’s not so much about what is on the table as it is about who is at the table. This year I cooked the turkey, made the stuffing and mashed potatoes, baked the pies (Pecan, French Silk and Apple) and tried to watch football in between! But for me, having my three boys and my father there were the most important. This photo of my father is one of my first attempts at using off-camera flash with an umbrella. I hope you like it, because i do.

Abandoned

It’s been quite a while since I posted anything. Way too long.

This boat looks so lonely, as if it hasn’t seen water in a long time. Yet, if you look in the background you can see the water, beckoning the craft to come back. You can see that the boat hasn’t been licensed since 2007.

My two youngest just love to fish. Even if it means fighting the mosquitos! The only post-processing I did was add a little sharpening.

Sometimes, you just have to love what you see. This shot, from Cameron Park on Lake Bemidji caught my eye.

While Osprey (Pandion haliaetus) are large birds-of-prey, they still flee when harassed by smaller aggressive, territorial birds.

4th of July

Sometimes, it’s more about the interaction kids have with the fireworks, rather than how big the fireworks are. My boys and the girls had so much more fun with the ‘puny’ home fireworks than they had at the big ones that I had to share.

This HDR photo of my two youngest sons fishing on Long Lake just jumps out at me. I love how this one came out.
