More Attempts at Photography

I’ve gone back to South Mountain Reservation to try and photograph some waterfalls and get that “silky water” effect I’ve seen in so many photos – and just to get some photography done. It’s been too long since I’ve taken anything other than a picture of the rabbits.

The last time I went, this is what I found:

dry waterfall

Luckily, this time it had recently rained:

south mountain waterfall saturated

Much better!

What do you think? Not quite like this one, but still… hey, I’m still new to all this! Gotta practice more!

You can see the entire set of photos here.

Enjoy!

New Jersey Wildlife

I swear, I’ve seen more wildlife since coming to NJ than I ever saw back in MA. I’ve seen deer, giant praying mantises, and some crazy birds that I can’t identify.

Who’dve thunk it?

The Rainbow Connection

I saw a rainbow early this evening. It was quite impressive – it spanned a full 180 degrees.

Sometimes, you just have to take the time to appreciate the simple beauty in the world.

Desktop Madness Vol. 20

I wanted to do something special for the 20th installment of Desktop Madness, so I’m posting a few new (and great) wallpapers all at once – shocking! Also, I’m going to point you to a great site for beautiful wallpapers called The Luna Regina. Enjoy!

As always, you can click the image for the full-sized picture.

Classic 8 Bit Gaming

Because “retro” is “cool” these days.

Very important.

Well, that’s all for now. Remember, if you find yourself bored of your current wallpaper and want some more, check out 4Chan or The Luna Regina. And if you’ve got a short attention span for wallpapers, give John’s Background Switcher a try, too!

Desktop Madness 2

Just for fun, and to contrast my work environment, here’s my desktop from home.

It should be noted that while I use Windows XP at work, I still use Windows 2000 at home. Of course, they tend to look the same once I’ve had my way with them. I hate the XP visual style.

If you look closely, you can see Winamp and Shoutcast running – that’s what powers WKEITH Radio.
