This is a very appropriate subject for people in the US today.  Today is Memorial Day.  Thank you to those who sacraficed their lives to support and preserve our way of life.  We remember you with gratitude.

Processing was done with a combination of Viveza and Color Efex Pro from Nik Software.

I’ve got to say, I’m really enjoy the Nik Software bundle I just bought today.  I’ve been demoing it a bit and finally made the purchase.  It really produces some outstanding results with very little work in my opinion.

I stalked this bird for a while and then frightened it away before I could capture it.  

I’ve been playing with Nik Silver Efex Pro and this is the Holga effect applied with a bit more grain.

Open eye and a wide open nifty 50 in front of his eye.

I really don’t have a lot of silk at my house and as a result, I spent half the day trying to figure out what to shoot. Then it came to me, I have quite a few ties that are silk. This particular tie was given to me by my daughter. She picked it out and everything. It is my favorite tie.

Shot of my shoes and medal from Saturday’s race.  As of this picture, these shoes have 489 miles running on them.  I will top 500 miles partway through my Tuesday run.  I typically get rid of shoes long before 500, but they’ve been really good.  I’ve spent a lot of time with these shoes, the road, and my thoughts.  My kids think these are my fast shoes!

Backlight was the setting sun, a reflector camera left provided the nice fill light.

Our skies are pure blue, no sign of storm at all so when my son was crying and my wife holding him, I took a shot.  I feel semi badly about exploiting his sadness for the photo, but my wife was comforting him, there was little else I could do.
