One Eye Closed: March 2013
http://www.one-eye-closed.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Welcome to my blog! Thanks for stopping by. Wednesday, March 27, 2013. Another Sign of Spring. No babies just yet, but the feathers are certainly flying. I don't know if ducks and geese molt but it sure seemed like it must be time. There were lots of these floating past me in the air. I hope to see those chicks soon. Super cute, those little things. Saturday, March 23, 2013. The Sunset Never Disappoints. I had checked the concert schedule at the Salt Aire. It was 7:30 pm I decided I had loaded up all my ...

One Eye Closed: December 2012
http://www.one-eye-closed.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Welcome to my blog! Thanks for stopping by. Sunday, December 16, 2012. Cold and Moving Water. There was another scene about 100 yards upstream that I would have liked to photograph but I simply had to get my hands back in my gloves and get moving again. Funny thing about winter. It always seems to happen when it's really cold outside. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Please visit both of my websites! Is the site I use for my portrait work.

One Eye Closed: Launch of New Things!
http://www.one-eye-closed.com/2013/09/launch-of-new-things.html
Welcome to my blog! Thanks for stopping by. Sunday, September 22, 2013. Launch of New Things! That was quite a respite between posts here on my blog. Not that my respite was about rest. I've been quite busy. Mostly I've been working on a redesign of my website, www.claudiaogradyphotography.com. That's the site I've used for advertising my photography services. I hadn't really put much effort into that site and as a result, it was rather lame. Well now it's new and relaunched! And even mostly finished!

One Eye Closed: May 2013
http://www.one-eye-closed.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Welcome to my blog! Thanks for stopping by. Saturday, May 25, 2013. In this image I (deliberately and thoughtfully) broke two rules, maybe more. One very obvious rule I broke is shooting directly into the sun. Blinding! You see that big blown out blob middle right? I want to encourage you to move your creative self beyond the rigidity of strict rule following. Know the rules, yes, but think beyond them. What can you lose? More importantly, what might you gain? You will surprise yourself. Newborns are a t...

One Eye Closed: October 2013
http://www.one-eye-closed.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Welcome to my blog! Thanks for stopping by. Saturday, October 26, 2013. Visit to the Big Easy. The days were a mix of rainy and sunny weather which makes for a nice diversity of images. I wonder if all photographers wake up to see the rain and get all happy inside. The downpour continued and I left the cafe to take this image below. I jacked up my shutter speed so that I could catch the raindrops mid air. Musicians set up on every street corner and they're really good! I had an awesome time taking pictur...

One Eye Closed: July 2014
http://www.one-eye-closed.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Welcome to my blog! Thanks for stopping by. Wednesday, July 2, 2014. This image at right would not have bee possible without a diffuser. Without a diffuser I doubt she would have even been able to open her eyes, and the last thing you want when doing portraits is squinty eyes. But with a diffuser the harsh sunlight was softened and evenly dispersed across the subject. Two more backlit images using reflectors. Fun shoot, good result. Snap on, snappers!

Welcome to my blog! Thanks for stopping by. Tuesday, April 1, 2014. I love this picture. This big heron. Flew right in front of me across that water. So close I could hear his wings thumping against the air. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Please visit both of my websites! Is the site I use for my portrait work.

One Eye Closed: January 2013
http://www.one-eye-closed.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Welcome to my blog! Thanks for stopping by. Sunday, January 27, 2013. Sports photography really isn't my thing which made this event extra challenging. What's more, these skaters are unbelievably fast. Even the "slow" ones. You have barely a fraction of a second to get a shot. Sometimes I lucked into getting a good shot, like this one below, but truly, it was just point, pan, shoot, and hope for the best. Monday, January 21, 2013. Seriously, you've got to have the gear. I have a. To handle all the timing...

One Eye Closed: The Laziness of a Long Weekend
http://www.one-eye-closed.com/2013/12/the-laziness-of-long-weekend.html
Welcome to my blog! Thanks for stopping by. Sunday, December 1, 2013. The Laziness of a Long Weekend. I love Thanksgiving weekend. Even though I've been a vegetarian for 20 years now, I still love the feast. Usually at our Thanksgiving gatherings we have real turkey for the meat eaters and tofu turkey for the veggies. I have to admit, tofu turkey is not that great, but slather it in enough (vegetarian) gravy and a blob of cranberry sauce and it's perfect. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). This blog is ...
