My photo organization for early 2019 is a complete mess. I’m trying to reorganize it a bit on the fly. Today’s collection of images come from the folder 2009-02-18/Arizona_Day_3. These pictures were taken in Arizona as the vacation part of the trip was starting to wind down and the business… Read More »2009-02-18 – Arizona Day 3
There are several folders inside the folder called 2009-02-18, so rather than having one of those fifty photo journal entries, I’ve decided to break them down by the subfolder. This subfolder is called ARIZONA_DAY_2. The pictures in this folder are from when I went to Arizona with Jesse on a… Read More »2009-02-18 – Arizona Day 2
Dipping into the backlog again. This post finishes off all of the backlog from May of 2018! WooHoo! It once again draws on a consistent theme. Me taking pictures of Naima at Dickcissel Park. You might be wondering why I took so many of these pictures last year. The reason… Read More »Naima Takes Dickcissel
Seems like a good time to share my favorite pictures from THE SELFIE PROJECT from April. I’ve been trying to be more interesting with the pictures, or at least more interesting with my life, since it felt like in January and February I didn’t do anything. I don’t know if… Read More »Selfie Project – April
Last Saturday Logan stopped by to show me his super sweet gimbal and to borrow my Rode microphone to see if it is something that he wanted to add one to his arsenal in the future. I hadn’t actually touched the Rode in probably 4 or 5 years. I guess… Read More »A Photo Journal – Henry Carroll – Page 32
It has been awhile since we checked in with THE SELFIE PROJECT. I figured today was as good of a day as any to check out March before April is over. I’m not sure I did more interesting things in March than I did in February or January where it… Read More »Selfie Project – March
A couple Saturdays back I took Rodan139 back to the Harrier Marsh for a bit of a joy flight. I’m not sure I really had an agenda. Just wanted to take it out for a bit of a flight and snap a few photos. It was on this trip that… Read More »Back to Harrier
A couple weekends back up I went to Minnesota to check out the Final Four festivities and check-in with a few people I hadn’t seen for a long time. On Sunday morning I hit a donut shop with Becca and Shawn. Then I went to Minnehaha Falls to kill sometime… Read More »A Photo Journal – Henry Carroll – Page 90
A few weeks back Rodan139 took a tremendous tumble from the sky. According to the flight log, Rodan139 fell out of the sky from 190 feet. It was going 40.3 MPH when it hit sweet, round, Mother Earth. Rodan139 was a hurting unit when I got to it. A couple… Read More »Lazarus Come Out!
The high submission rate hit a second straight week. If we get a third week that is called a streak. If we get a streak going, we might just force a one game playoff with the Yankees where our catcher calls his shot but it is a fake and he… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 185 – WATER
You probably thought that with the weather warming up, you’d see more drone pictures courtesy of Rodan139. However, sadly. I have to report that Rodan139 met with a bit of a tragedy a couple weeks ago. Inexplicably, Rodan139 just fell out of the sky from about 200 feet. It was… Read More »Requiem for Rodan139
Yellow. Yellow is the most recent filter from the super cheap filter set that I cracked out and tested. I still took mostly pictures of Naima, but I actually left my yard and went out to Dickcissel. This, was perhaps, not the best plan. With all the space to roam,… Read More »It Stands for the Sun
I have been absolutely horrible about working on THE PHOTO JOURNAL PROJECT lately. This will be the first post I’ve had since December 28, when I posted pictures of Andy’s progeny competing in the ages old activity of wraslin’. I need to put my nose to the grindstone and stop… Read More »A Photo Journal – Henry Carroll – Page 122
Time to reveal another filter test from the super cheap Neweer filter set I purchased on Amazon several weeks back. This time the filter that is up is the blue filter. Here is a description of what a blue filter does in black & white photography from photographymad.com: Blue filters… Read More »It is Beyond Dimensions
The pictures from the folder 11-15-08 are from the final home game in Iowa State’s Gene Chizik era. I can still remember the afternoon I head that Chizik was leaving for Auburn. I was driving around with Jason looking at potential houses when the rumors came across the radio. We… Read More »11-15-08
A few weeks back I showed the results of test photos taken with a red filter from a new extremely cheap set of filters that I recently picked up. The most recent filter I’ve taken out and tested is the orange filter. Much like the red filter an orange filter… Read More »The Happiest Color
The folders 11-09-08 and 11-10-08 contain a wide variety of pictures. They range from a trip to Ottumwa to trips of a book downsizing to pictures of Shannon after she had her hair cut for Locks of Love. I had forgot that I poorly decided that the best place to… Read More »11-09-08 & 11-10-08
Last Thursday, the weather was actually warm enough that I was able to take the drone (from now on referred to as Rodan139) out to the Jay Carlson Wildlife Area for a few trips across the sky. Here are a few photos from the friendly skies: In the few weeks… Read More »Almost Divine
Here in the greater metropolitan area of Boone, Iowa we got somewhat of a blizzard starting last Saturday night and going into Sunday. While in Boone we didn’t get a ton of snow, we did get a ton of wind. On Saturday afternoon I went to watch the Iowa State… Read More »The “Great Blizzard” of 2019
Back in July we had a brief bit of rain. The resulting wetness in my yard gave me a chance to take some macro raindrop images. I enjoy them, hopefully you will too. As we sit and shiver through the 45th snow “storm” of the year today, I hope these… Read More »Macro for Days
Last Sunday there was one of nature’s greatest shows. The lunar eclipse! I decided to check it out and photograph it because there won’t be another total lunar eclipse visible in Iowa for several years. Although I cut my photography session short because I was having severe tripod problems, I… Read More »Bloody Wolf Lunar Eclipse
