Sunday Stills - tri-color

This weeks sunday stills challenge was tri-color. The more color the better. The shot that I am submitting was shot last week in the Outer Banks in North Carolina. The town i was staying in was called Avon. It is just south of Rodanthe and North of Hatteras.

I hadn't been to the Outer Banks since I was a kid and didn't remember just how cool the area was. There isn't a "fast food" place in 35 miles of Kitty hawk. No McDonald's, no Wendy's and no Burger King. I did find a Subway but chose not to stop... There are no street lights and everyone is so laid back and never in a hurry.

I will be posting other photos from the area I was in, So be sure to stop back and take a look!

Also, stop by and check out my wife's photo blog! http://www.andreabakerdesigns.com/

Sunday Stills - Silhouettes

Silhouettes are always fun to shoot but a pain if you forget to turn off your fill flash...

This weeks challenge was pretty cool to try to shoot. I decided to go out in the late evening sun to try to get my shots. We drove over to an area park and waited for the sun to get a little lower in the sky.

Andrea (my beautiful wife) was my choice for my subject and was easy to shoot.

I also saw a flag pole that was flying our flag and waited for the sun to be just right. It didn't happen, so I had to lay down in the grass to take the shot (I normally wouldn't as I am allergic to the stuff).

Even with the sun directly behind for the shot, The colors still shined through!

I love our Flag!

Wow! How time flies...

I can't beleive that we are at Mid-April already...

The assignment for sunday stills this week was "Red". I was torn between two shots, the first is from a classic car show from August and from a new shot from the Butterfly exhibit at the Conservatory in Columbus, Ohio. so I am posting both.

The dark butterfly wasn't supposed to be in the shot but he flew in last minute....
