These pictures are pretty much a walk-through of my boring week.

This one has a story. There is a relay for life group here in town that will drop off flamingos in a yard - for a price. It's a prank that includes a very well written explanation about the cause and also the opportunity to pay a small fee to have them moved to whatever yard you want them to goto. Our good friends sent them to us, and I was pretty surprised to come home to these.

Not too far from home are a couple lakes. This is the spillway for one of them.

Just above the spillway was a powerline with a bunch of fishing line on it.

OK, OK! I know these weren't the best. My apologies. To make it up, I have a video of something I've been playing with lately, and that also related to a picture this week. Someday once I've mastered basic photography concepts (i.e.-not now) I would love to dabble in the world of videography. I recently got a version of the Twixtor plugin to use in After Effects, which helps blend frames together when slowing them down by a large factor. This was my first attempt at it.
Movies make everything ok, right? Next week should be AWESOME. Reasons?
- My flash unit came in two days ago
- My 24-70 2.8L comes in on Tuesday
- Other accessories come in by the end of the week
- Friday we're shooting a graduation on the lake
- Saturday we're shooting a birthday party
Awesome.
