Really Bad Picture Needs a Caption

I'm watching baseball playing with images on my PC.

By all rights this photo is bad... beyond "soft".

I'm thinking "Digging For Home"... what caption would you put on it?

One Man Boat Race

I purchased a new camera this week and have viewed some of the online courses on Lynda.com in photography and thought I would go out this weekend and try some of the things the courses pointed out.

I had always been intrested in the hobby. For a short period of time I was an Army Journalist (71Q) and then worked for the Taylorsville Times for a couple of years where we had to take and develop the photos for the stories Lee Sharpe sent us out to cover.

I wanted something of intrest to take pictures of so I go onto the Internet to the Eisenhour Park calendar of events and saw that the model boat club was going to have a race.

I thought great, fathers with sons, model boats, a nice spring morning. Should prove to be a nice subject to play around with exposure times, shutter speed, all those things I had viewed on the instructional videos.

At dawn I start headed toward the park. I wanted to get the sun rising and actually got a few neat shots with the beams of the early morning light reflecting off train tracks, burning the dew off the grass on a golf course and some others I'll post later.

But the boat race was a bit dissapointing.

Only one guy showed up.  So I guess at the end of the day I got pictures of the winning boat.
