One last bang.

I thought I’d post one more firework related photo before calling it done till next year. I took this at Phil & Katherine’s wedding. Pretty cool portrait using the sparkler as the only light source.

Fireworks 08

The fireworks downtown may have not been the greatest, but the Motor Boat Club had a great show. Above are some of very first shots of fireworks with my SLR.

It took some practice, but I dialed into 800ISO, 3.5 sec exposure with a f/11. Of course I also used a tripod or everything would have been scribble lines.

Fireworks on the lake.

We just got home from fireworks on Lake Springfield. It was a beautiful night for fireworks and taking photos of fireworks.

I was incorrect in a previous post calling Maddy a boxer. She’s actually an American Bulldog.

Congratulations!

Congratulations to Phil & Katherine! At least you’ll never have to guess when is your anniversary!

Aphex Twin - Bright Eyes Mashup

I love music mashups more than mashed potatoes and corn.

This is what standing in the dark while holding your dog looks like for twenty seconds.

I am running low in the photography repository, but this is from Monday’s night game. It’s been a long week, I am working a new position downtown and trying to fix some email issues after hours so I haven’t had much time to bust out the Canon Rebel.

So this photo accurately displays how I feel right about now.

Guns for hire.

There’s two guns for hire on my street. Thankfully I can pay them off in snacks and juice boxes.

By a vote of 6 comments, July 13th is officially Springfield Bloggers night with the Springfield Sliders. Mrs. Shoo and I went with my bro and his gf this evening to scout out the stadium. My nine year old cousin was also throwing out the first pitch for his birthday.

16oz Beer $3.00, Hotdog $2.00 - Really good seats: $6.50.

More than affordable.

So far the Sliders are 16-4, and I believe after tonight’s game they’ll be 17-4. We left after the 6th inning but the Sliders were ahead 6-0.

Maddy.

This is Maddy our neighbor’s dog. She’s just a 7 month old boxer pup. She looks a little intimidating, but she’s like butter and will melt in your hands. I got to play with her a little today. Definitely a very smart and observant dog.

Clancy and Buddy also got to a smell check. They agreed that she’s a good neighbor.
