Self-portrait

July 10, 2011January 6, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 27 Comments

Got out for the first time all week for a dedicated photo hike. It felt good to be outside again, even if the Florida humidity is hovering around 99%. I tried out my new photo vest, and it worked great. I had all my stuff within easy reach and I didn't have to lug around … Continue reading Self-portrait

Portraits

July 3, 2011January 6, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 24 Comments

During our trip to Tennessee, The Boy and I drove over to the Knoxville Zoo. Since I've been wanting to work more on portraits, here are a few from our visit. (Photos shot with a Nikon D60, using an 18-55mm, 55-200mm, 20mm f/2.8 wide-angle, 50mm f/1.8 prime lens and/or a Nikon CoolPix S205) For more … Continue reading Portraits

My own backyard

June 25, 2011January 10, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 24 Comments

With gas prices still so expensive, I'm trying to stay closer to home for my photo hunts. Saturday I spent time at some of my favorite local spots, just making a huge loop around town. I took these photos at Henderson Beach State Park, Clement Taylor Park, Maxwell Gunter Recreation Area, and Turkey Creek Nature … Continue reading My own backyard

Up a bayou with a paddle

June 18, 2011January 10, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 31 Comments

On Tuesday my husband and I celebrated our 25th Anniversary by renting a pair of kayaks at a nearby state park. We're pondering whether to buy our own, so wanted to try them out first. I enjoyed the day so much, I went back on Saturday to paddle around some more. Looks like we're going … Continue reading Up a bayou with a paddle

Boatel and storage

June 12, 2011January 6, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 17 Comments

Spent a few days on the road with my peeps last week, and didn't get as many photos as I had hoped. Seems family time trumps picture taking time. I also discovered why I don't photograph people... I should really stay away from taking portraits, it ain't pretty. And, no I won't share. (Photos shot … Continue reading Boatel and storage

Something’s a little off…

June 4, 2011January 6, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 21 Comments

When I head out on my weekly photo hikes, until I decide where I'm headed, I have no idea what I want to take photos of that day. Sometimes I just start driving and make it up as I go. Once I have a destination in mind, I can begin making my mental 'to-do' list … Continue reading Something’s a little off…
