Seriously most Red Neck thing we have ever done...we are rebuilding our front porch and this is the only way we could bring one of the peices of glass home!! Not a great photo but thought the effect was interesting!! The extreme side of HDR.

Day 18

I was all excited that there was supposed to be a meteor shower last night, so we headed out to the farm to experiment with night sky photography. Well it was cloudy and I think in Edmonton it was Wednesday night and Thursday night...so needless to say I missed it! I did play around with the moon, writing with light and taking photos of cars on the highway. So the night wasn't all a waste!! Two photos for today again...not the greatest but a notch in the experience belt!

Moon, taken at Gruninger Farm.

Day 10 - 12

Well it has been a busy few days getting ready for the Heisler/Miller wedding! It was an amazing day with mother nature cooperating (when it counted!!) and a great time had by all! The bride was beautiful...and I totally forgot to take pictures...I am so disappointed in myself. I was so caught up in and enjoying the moments that I didn't capture them. I did get a couple shots of Tyrell and Noah getting ready...and that was it...I am sure Uncle Dave won't disappoint though!!
