Sunset

So my app told me there was a 47% chance of a decent sunset.  If this is 47% I can’t imagine what 100% looks like.

Commence

It’s that time of year and I got to be a part of Shenandoah Univeristy’s version of it.  Always a pleasure.

Commence

Painterly

It’s certainly not for everybody and I’ve seen it done with great success, but the “painterly” style is definitely different.

SU Graduation

This may make it onto NBC news somewhere – hopefully in some sort of commencement round up from the area/region/nation.  Fingers crossed.  What a great day to fly.

Graduation

The graduates of Shenandoah University 2016!  Congratulations to all.

Catch Up

My course just missed an entire week’s worth of class time.  Gonna have to play catch up.

Yep, that pretty much sums it up.

Worthy

I took the new GoPro out tonight to determine if it’s worthy enough to be considered a decent camera in my photography tool box.  I’ve made my decision.  What do you think?

Beacon of Light

Yep, that’s what they’re calling it.

It's been a while since I actually shot something other than aerial.  It felt creative.

Peak

Anybody have an issue saying the word “foliage?”  I worked with someone once who did.  Anybody have a guess as to who it was?  I wonder if she’s reading now.  Anyway, the fo·li·age [ˈfōl(ē)ij] is about to peak here in Winchester.  Hope the weather holds for some great images.

Rise and Shine

This is how I started my day – actually about an hour and a half prior to this.  Long day for me.

Branding

Who would’ve thought that, amongst all the high-tech engineering and impressive architecture, the rockers on the “front porch” would be good old Cracker Barrel brand.

Get that down-home “front porch” feel at the newest SU Building in Winchester.

New Chapter

Started my next chapter last night teaching Broadcast Video Production in the building I called “home” for seven years.  Can you see me?  Not a lot of time to get out and shoot today as I pack for California.  Hopefully I’ll have some great images to post along the way.

Golden Hour

When you can get above all the mess on the ground level, that golden hour is more like a golden hour and 15 minutes.  My class ended at 6:30, but I was determined to get the sunset today because I just had a feeling that it was going to be a good one.  I think I made a good call.

Look, Up In The Sky…

So today I had somebody actually follow the camera to where it landed just to find out more about it.  I was just flying over Shenandoah University and demonstrating it for a couple of friends and a guy drives into the lot, runs over and said that he followed it from the main campus because he wanted to know more about it.  I gave him my card.  Cool.

New Series?

I think I should try my hand at a “series.”  What do you think?
