Jonah’s Basketball Fun

Jonah’s a great player and he scored several times for his team. The shadows were horrible to work with, but what do you do… take the time to make the shot.

Caleb’s B-Day Party

Caleb’s B-Day is in November, bet he agreed to postpone for a more party friendly time.  We finally got to it in mid-January after the holiday rush.  Christi did an awesome job as usual and you can see more details on her post.  My brother and his friend loaned us their arsenal of air-soft guns.  It was a blast!  Savannah took some of these too.

Simon’s B-Day

I have lot’s of catching up to do.  Family, vacations, hunting trips, projects, work, Netflix, etc. have all been sucking up my time.  I’ve still been taking pictures, but just haven’t been posting.  So, I’ll keep commentary to a minimum until I catch up.  Here are my favorites from Simon’s Birthday party back in January.

These were some of my first pictures taken with my new Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM lens I received for Christmas.  The white balance on the higher end lenses seems to cooler than my cheaper lenses.  I like it in some cases.  In others I don’t and correct it later.  I warmed all the pictures above quite a bit.
