BEARable Goes Country

These are random pictures taken on a drive I took on some gravel roads in the country.
COW
This is a cow.
 Red on Barn

The people that own this barn let their dogs loose to bark at me continuously while I taking this picture.

Plaza on Bulb

Plaza on Bulb
This was another one taken for my camera club meeting this month for the holiday/ winter theme. It's amazing how many people come up and ask you about your photography and to see your shots when you have a foot long metal wire with a christmas tree ornament tied one one end and ducked taped to your lens. I then had to plant my tripod on the only flat part of the center lane, leaving me in the bushes.

Ol' Lonely Night

Ol' Lonely Night

This was taken at my University....no, it is not just a coincidence, I take many photos there. I was the only one on campus due to the winter break and it being a Saturday. This is right as it was in the thick of the snow so my camera got nice and wet. It was actually fairly late in the night and was pitch black out, the light background was due to a huge amount of light pouring from buildings on the opposite side of the hill and with some help from saturation. The tree still has many visible details due to, you guessed it, HDR.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to you all. I hope your year was just as enjoyable as mine was, minus the homework and hangovers. For this New Year's Day all I have is this random picture that has nothing to do with ringing in the new year. 


Coyote Night

This Picture was taken at my university one night and I had to park up by those lights in the mid-left of this photo. I then had to walk around the pond to get this shot. MWSU has a large biology and conservation department so they have a lot of these natural ponds with woods surrounding them, but you know who likes woods and ponds more than biologists and conservationists? Foxes and other rabid dogs that would like to eat my face. This was one of the longest 30 second exposure ever because by the time I had my tripod set up I started hearing howling fairly close.This is about the third experience that I have been someplace at night in a wooded area and have heard a howl.I now take a golf club with me when I go shooting at night, in case a wolf(or crazy downtown man) wants to take my face off.
