It's been awhile...

Hello! It has been awhile since the last post. A lot has happened...(not really, just haven't had a lot to say or post). In the final stages of wedding planning, various work projects, church projects, and everything else that happens in life, its been fairly busy. 

After harvest...

Most of the fields around me harvested now leaving only the remains. Between the remains and the sunset, they make for a unusual and interesting combination. Take a look at these photos from earlier this week and let me know how you like them.

Sun and Clouds

It is amazing some of the pictures the sun makes in the sky. Yesterday was one of those days. With the clouds covering everything and putting a somber mood down on everything, the sun was there the whole time ready to peek through and brighten the day.

Enjoy!

Harvest Time

Looking around the past couple days, it has been obvious that fall is here. The time where all the farmers work 24/7 to get the crops in. Between the farmers,  the equipment, and some fairly decent backdrops, photos can't really capture the moment like it should be caught. But here is an attempt at it. 

Enjoy!

Just a country road...

There's something peaceful and relaxing about the old roads. I love seeing the trees and then as fall comes around, the changing of the leaves, all right there by the road. You can have the highways and freeways, I will take these old roads any day.

Enjoy!

Weekend in Review

What an amazing weekend. From video project, to photo shoots, to a church hay rack ride, and then a great day at church yesterday, it has been amazing. Lots of work, but lots of fun, and definitely worth the late nights. 

It's Fall!

Hey Everyone! After a long break of blogging...I am hoping to get back into it. The past couple months have been swamped with church events and work and all kinds of things like that. Plus, when your busy and don't get out a lot, it tends to get a little boring taking pictures of the same old things all the time. 

All that being said, here are some of my favorites from my time outside today. Instead of using my regular 18-55mm lens, I went with the 75-300mm zoom lens. It is amazing the different perspectives you can get of the same places you have been the whole time. Enjoy!

There's always one that has to be different...

Afternoon on the River

Today we had a good time canoeing down the Skunk River. It was a very pleasant 10 mile trip and something I am looking forward to doing again soon. The photo below is something you will see on my instagram page, but wanted to post it here as well. These were taken on my iphone 4. Feel free to comment and share. 

Fun in Town

Yesterday I took some friends to the airport in Moline and then drove their car back to Washington for them. I had a couple of hours to burn and ended up walking around downtown/the town square with my camera just to see what there is to see. The photos below are some of what I saw. I am sure some of them will eventually find their way to instagram...lol. Enjoy!

Summertime in Iowa

August in Iowa is always warm and humid. But it does offer some interesting photo opportunities. Check out some of these photos from my summer so far. From corn fields, to road trips, "field" trips, there is a large variety of images here. Let me know what you think in the comments and share with friends on Facebook and twitter. Hoping to get some additional couples pictures put online shortly as well from a recent trip. 

Scenic Summer in Iowa...

Here are some of the photos I took over the weekend. I am enjoying trying new things with the camera...different angles and settings etc...Enjoy!
