Canon DSLR "Picture of the day"

Cape Hatteras Lighthouse.

It's been quite a while since I posted any images. I've moved and that move has sapped my motivation to get out and take photographs. There aren't any mountains here to speak of, and that is my passion. I guess I needed to move away to realize my love for the mountain west. It's taken me some time to get motivated to get out and take any kind of photo. I finally made a trip out the the Coast and took this one right at sunset.

Yea, I remember you saying that moving to NC was a big shock to you. Have you tried any ocean or stream shots? The spring should bring some nice opportunities.

One of the tricks of photograhy (to me anyway) is to try to find beauty in the ordinary. I bring my camera everywhere feasible.


Check out this guys shots on Flickr (he's one of my favorites at finding the beauty in everyday life)...

Elisha, this one's a total stunner. How do you create such a soft and fuzzy effect on the child's face? This is something I've historically struggled with - my shots of kids usually end up very stark and lack the subtlety of this fantastic image. I'm very much an amateur and just looking to learn. I have an XSi with the kit 18-55 and a 55-250 lens.

Here's a recent one with the XSi and kit lens.
