Power Hour

I have always loved taking pictures of power lines. The other morning when I discovered the sunrise was amazing and rushed from the house in hopes of snapping a picture, I passed this and decided to take a picture! I discovered a new app a few days ago, so I used it, along with Camera+. Its name is Transphotos and the effects on it are kind of weak, so after I applied the rainbow effect, I saved the image and opened it back up in Camera+ to lick up the effect.

Sunrise and the Tree

Haven't updated in a few days, don't know how it happened, but here I am! I managed to catch a sunrise! Usually I am asleep for that magical start to every day! I somehow woke up, looked out window and left house in my pajamas to get a clear view! I have a few more pics to post but I'll get to that later!

Gods Creation!

I know, I know, another sunset! It simply is the best time of day! After a stressful and tiring day, I needed air so I went to the lake and took pictures of the sunset going down! The lake is the best place to see scenery and think so it was a good choice for pictures!

Ford Focus Love!

My car looks like it belongs in an Ford Advertisement! My 2008 Ford Focus has been mine since the showroom floor at a Ford Dealership somewhere in Oklahoma! We have had so many good times and travels! I decided to take her picture, I named her Miley (not because of Miley Cyrus, but because of the amount of miles she got in such a short time!). Miley is posing in front of the sunset, and I used Camera+ to edit and mess with the colors. We are around 65k miles in the almost 4 years that we have been together, and I got her at 118 miles! A Ford technician once asked me where I had been, and I simply replied, "Everywhere, I bought my car so I could DRIVE it!" Haha. I love this car so much, it's unreal!

Moon Love!

So I was leaving the house and I saw how epic the moon looked, it seemed bigger tonight than normal! So I rushed into the house, grabbed the camera and took off to find a good spot to take a picture of the moon. I found a place, pulled over and got out. As I got it all into focus, I pressed the shutter button and it didn't click. I tried again, only to find that the camera said "NO CARD". I had to do a palm to the face smack because I couldn't believe it! I didn't have a backup either! So I drove like a mad person all the way back home, and by then the moon was up further and smaller, so I took this picture! I used my Canon Rebel XS. I used Manual Focus but I don't remember all the settings, It was in M mode, ISO was 100 and I just focused until all came out well! I put it on Instagram and within 25 minutes I got this message!

Oh sweet lovely Popular Page. Instagram must have recently changed the way that you get to the Popular Page, to let different people have a chance to be featured and discovered and see thousands of people see your work all at once! There are well over 15 Million users on Instagram. Everyone deserves a chance to be seen! I hadn't made the Popular Page in a while, and I'd forgotten how good the feeling is!

There my picture is! First one on top row on the Popular Page! What a good night! :)

Purple Sunset!

Sunset again! I went to see the sunset because I got out of work at almost the perfect time to run to the lake and get a good picture! There were amazing clouds out today! I should have stayed until all the clouds above the horizon turned pink, but I didn't think about it. I just got a few shots and left as fast as I got there. But I did get good pictures!

Work

I got to work today and the sky was doing something kind of epic, so I opened the sunroof and took a picture of the sign with the sky! I then used Camera+ to edit it! Pretty awesome if I do say so myself!

Moon Love!

Last night as I was leaving work, I noticed how amazing the moon was, bright and bigger than normal. I rushed home and got my Canon Rebel XS camera and headed outside. I'm still learning a lot about my camera, day by day I learn something new! I had to figure out how to manually get the camera to focus on the moon. Auto shooting is good and all, but I want to learn to do everything manually eventually! So here's the moon at three different lengths! I don't remember all the settings! 

Before and After

I really love sunsets, as you can tell! This one is on the opposite side of the lake as the last picture I posted. The sky was so amazing that day! The original picture was washed out by the sun, you couldn't really see the clouds or water, but once I opened up Camera+ and started messing with the filters, it brought out the clouds and the water! I never expected the original to turn into this! Here below is the original picture!

Tower Of The Americas - San Antonio, Texas

This is the Tower of The Americas in San Antonio, Texas. This 750 foot tower has a restaurant and observation deck, with a gift shop, tower cafe and amazing water fountains at the base. This is one of the most recognizable landmarks in this great city, alongside the Alamo and the Missions. The Riverwalk is spectacular! If you haven't checked this out, you MUST go! I got to go up in the tower this past summer with my family! It was terrifying going up and then looking out of the elevator with a window! Heights terrify me, and once we got to the observation deck, the entire city was underneath! What a view! I made a collage of it once we got home. I don't remember what app it was, but I hadn't discovered PicFrame yet! All pictures were taken with iPhone 4! If you ever get a chance to go to San Antonio, make sure you go in the tower! There's a 4D ride afterwards and it's called "Skies Over Texas" it was interesting, I enjoyed the entire experience! What a great vacation this was, I miss it so bad!

Beautiful Day!

Today I was off work again, so I went out on another Photo adventure! So I stopped at the lake to get daytime shots! It was an amazing day 68 degrees and not a cloud in the sky! It was cold there at the lake though with the wind blowing off the water! The top two shots were taken with my Canon Rebel XS, there is no way I could get the Moon and a plane with my iPhone! The middle one and bottom two were by iPhone! I used PicFrame and Camera+ to put it all together!

Reflections are Beautiful!

Off work today so you know I had to go spend part of the evening at the lake! I got a lot of amazing pictures! I won't go crazy like I did last week and post them all in one swoop, because then I won't have any for days to come. I borrowed Jonathon's shades and put them on a rock and then my new lens made this picture possible! Sunset was gorgeous as always!

I have always loved taking pictures of reflections in shades and mirrors and stuff! 

Here's another one from about 2010! I wish he still had these Aviator style shades! They were awesome!  I hope everyone had a wonderful day!

Taking It Back To The 70s!

Same tree, just different filter! I used the 70s filter and the sunset had a different vibe to it! I am off work tomorrow so I will go out and take new pictures, I'm still on the same sunset pictures from last week! :)

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! I hope that everyone has a wonderful 2012! This isn't my picture, I just borrowed it so that I could post it and tell my followers/instagram friends that I wish them the very best in 2012! 2011 was a good year, and 2012 promises to be a good one! I have started my New Year Resolution today, which is to make better food choices to help promote weight loss. I am going strong today, I just gotta keep making the right choices and keep it up! Last year I did so good, but vacation derailed me. You can't go to San Antonio and not eat bad, I'm just saying! Once we got back, I was already derailed to the point I couldn't climb back on the train (so to speak). I'm working today, so hopefully when I get off this evening I will have a picture to post! Everyone have a good day, and Happy New Year!
