Blue Water

By coryking written 5/4/08 6:05 PM, published 5/4/08 6:05 PM

These are kind of old, so it is cheating in a way.  You'll have to excuse it though as I'm a bit occupied making this place a better one.

These were taken with a tripod and a flashlight with a blue gel.  I actually managed to use one of them as a backdrop for my homepage (http://www.coryking.com).

~~~ Life ~~~

By TURBO written 9/15/06 11:12 AM, published 9/15/06 11:12 AM
   I'd have to Popup Linkadmit, life would be Popup Linkgreat if we would Popup Linkonly stop and smell the Popup Linkflowers. Life would be different if I would just sit down and relax, to be Popup Linkcalm. But I can't always do that. Some times, life is rough, hard. Its like I'm being Popup Linksqueezed by pressure that I don't understand. My soul is Popup Linkcracked ,as if a Popup Linklayer of me has been taken away, and it hurts. I am under Popup Linkconstruction...  
I've been Popup Linkpulled and dragged through the mire...I'm used to it, but the pain is Popup Linkstill there. Things that felt normal, aren't,and my vision of happiness is now Popup Linkcracked and incomplete.

    It might be time for me to move on, down a different Popup Linkpath. I need to find Popup Linkrest within this troubled time, and look for Popup Linkpeace..... but I am under Popup Linkconstruction.
         


Summer Vacation - Part 2 of 3

After our odysseys in and around Burlington, Vermont, we met up with my parents and my sister and her family and headed off to the waterfront to catch a boat to Popup Link"The island". This must be one of the most beautiful places on earth.

Here are some of the highlights:

Water

There are few things more fundamental to our existence than water.  I have seen many beautiful postings here of waves and ponds and splashing water.  I looked through my own picture and was amazed to find how many ways I’d seen and photographed it -- As Popup Linksunsets as Popup Linksocial commentary and as Popup Linkbackground. I’ve even taken delight in Popup Linkfreezing it (without the use of winter or a Frigidaire).

just look...

 Popup LinkCollins Lake Circa 2006.

Latest trip with the 26 foot trailer we have...

   We brought Matthew's cousins Roy and Popup LinkRaliegh to the lake. Those kids are inseparable. They brought the raft and went out waaaaayy across to the other side. I'm in the market for a zoom, still... I took my Popup Linkbinoculars and put up to the lens. Here's Popup Linkwhat I got. That's the boys in that yellow raft!!! The two brown dots in front of the raft are Raliegh and Matthew's heads...theyr'e kicking in the water.Roy is inside!
   As I was walking along the Popup Linklake, a light wind picked up, and down at my feet fell a Popup Linkleaf.  I thought to myself that I gotta show my friends this leaf. Don't know why, but I was just inspired to do so. It is my entry into the challenge:gravity is the invisible force that we dont see , but see the reactions to it. Hope you enjoy them.  


On The Rocks

  Not alot of color, but I enjoy how the water rolls over the rocks. Peaceful. They are about as big as your picky nail.

I love water..

By cmn062406 written 7/14/06 8:49 AM, published 7/14/06 8:49 AM

Okay, so basically I love to photograph Popup Linkwater. It is one of the best things, i think, to take pictures of. You just never know what is going to happen or the way it will Popup Linkmove. It's just so peaceful being out in the woods near water away from all of the city noise. I absolutly love it!

A walk in the park

By MRQUACKERS written 7/9/06 11:11 AM, published 7/9/06 11:11 AM
Tried a different park to for my walk today.  At first, I said that this one wasn't for me; it was more of an exercise park.  And since I shy away from people pictures, I was left with just walking (and this is what I should have been doing in the first place!)  But as things turned out, there was lots of texture in the Popup Linkwater and plenty of Popup Linkflowers.  And while I was photographing some  Popup Linkthistles I found out just how fast things can change.  In faster then you can read this: I framed the shot, commented the finger to the shutter button, the bee flew off, and the Popup Linkcamera went click.  Don't know if it is better with the bee off or not.

A Fish Story

By Lidljo written 6/30/06 11:14 AM, published 6/30/06 11:14 AM

Many times there is a story behind a photograph, but we don't always get to photograph enough pictures to tell the story.  On my walk to the pier, I did get a chance to do this and should have been brave enough to share it with the little guy who I was watching.  He was so proud and frustrated because his brother who had been sent for a camera had not arrived back to the pier.  When we first arrived at the end of the pier I noticed this father and son conversing about the fishing conditions.  It was a bit Popup Linkwavy and the waves were splashing up on the pier.  The father was Popup Linkgiving the son a few tips and then he turned to his own fishing pole.  The young man Popup Linkworked seriously at his job.  The water calmed Popup Linkdown some and the sun came out.  Suddenly the young boy yelled to his father Popup LinkI've got a Big one.   Between the two of them they did pull Popup Linkthe fish out, and then the boy said, "I told you it was a big one."  The kid was so proud of it and he held it up Popup Linkso we all could see it and to measure how high on his leg it was.  His dad said that they had to throw it back, but that they could say that it was Popup Linkso big.
The boy decided that they should not wait for his brother to get back with the camera because the fish was bleeding, so his father took the hook out and they threw him back.  They continued fishing and soon father caught a fish also, and another man down the way caught one.  All Sheephead - that is what they called them- and they said that they were not good to eat.  Before we left the end of the pier there was Popup Linkanother big splash.
I hope that you enjoyed this story the way I told it.  I had fun photographing it and my only regret is that I didn't ask the young man if he would like me to email it to him.
