Relaxing Portraits in the Flint Hills
As a news photographer in the midst of the winter sports season there is not always a lot of free time to shoot the "fun" photos. Well this past weekend I made sure and found time to go out into the Flint Hills with my awesome fiancé to shoot a couple of portraits with her.
While out shooting she also learned how a light meter in a 35mm film camera works. Going out on shoots like these for me is always an easy way to relax from the constant grind without getting to far away from the possibility of a breaking story.

5 1/2 Years
Today's real post is about a girl...

Madeline is this girl's name we met in band during our sixth grade year. In band we are both percussionist. In seventh grade we both ended up on the same "team" of teachers and had a couple of classes together including her fathers band class. That first semester we came to become very good friends down to the point that one of her friends that year decided Madeline and I needed to date. Well so later that day I found out I had a girlfriend. Well long story short Madeline and I have been dating since and it has been a fantastic time.
Happy 5 1/2 Years Madeline.

First Try at a Star Timelapse
So earlier this week I shot a photo timelapse of the stars out from my farm.
This is 132 photos taken over two hours.
The lighting changes due to the bad thunderstorms in Oklahoma that night and we could see there lightning flashes.
PS. Feel free to comment

Spring Break, Long Exposures and Law Enforcement
So this week about all the photos i have taken have been long exposure shots. I find them to be very artistic and something not seen very often. I uploaded my first one here earlier in the week.
On Wednesday night i got this photo at the Prairie street bridge going over I-35.
In this photo you see the north bound traffic with their head lights and the south bound red tail lights. As a side note after getting this shot i headed to the graphic arts bridge and got up on the sidewalk then had the first police officer stop turn his bright lights on and talk to me.
Then on Thursday night we had a spring lightning storm roll through our area.

On Friday night Madeline and i were in Wichita and on the way home i stopped to grab this photo of the spring burns in the Flint Hills as cars blow right by them.
While getting this photo on the turnpike i had a trooper stop pull over and turn his bright lights on and question me about what i was doing and once again had no problem and left. So a note to anyone else is be ready to talk to law enforcement if you are shooting long exposures at night.
