An Afternoon at the Lake - Burba Lake Fort Meade, Maryland

My Son received a Razor Electric Scooter for Christmas and while he has had a few opportunities to "scoot" around the neighborhood on the sidewalk, today was the first time he really got to let it rip.

Misty Morning Nature Walk - Fort Meade, Maryland's Burba Lake


Clarity amidst the Mist
Clarity amidst the Mist
I spent about 30 minutes walking around Burba Lake @ Ft. Meade after dropping lil'Man off to school. Very heavy Mist so much so that the lights came "back" on while I was taking pictures. I have a lot to learn about this new lens, but i am going to have fun learning.

Taking it seriously - Photography

I am one class away from finishing my degree, I gave my self some early graduation gifts.  I intend to really ramp up my photography!


Wizards
First shot with the 35. The reason for the new gear, early graduation presents to myself. Started last class Mon! Then I am gonna go at this photography real hard! I included the Dell remote in the shot because that is what I had been using to remotely trigger the camera, hopefully that will all change now =)

New Addition to the Family
The Toy I was most anticipating! 85 on 35.

Rotating Flash Bracket Extended Test_
Let's see the UPS guy left the delivery on the front porch 1/2 hour before I left for work. had a chance to open everything and take a couple of snaps... looks goofy I know, but I am having a ball. Can't wait to get home and try out what I received.
