Carlos’s Photo Blog

I really do not like the way the YAPB shows the picture in my post. I think I am just going to stick with thumbnails in the body. I wanted to post a big and small version of the same picture. Really just for me to see how it looks. It is actually snowing right now. I have tons of video on You tube of the snow. I have been doing some POV videos of me driving. Dont worry I am being safe. I mount the camera so I am not trying to drive and film at the same time. I might mount my dslr and take some pics…hmm I guess I need to focus on that since I like driving and photography so much. I just need to drive around and take more pictures. I am seriously considering taking the train down to center city and taking some shots down there. I missed doing that during the last storm. Darn it I left my camera at home.

Here is the same picture but in the actual full resolution from my camera. Of course I have been absent from photoshop for some time. So any of my pics are au naturale!

Ok, so that is totally huge. I think it will be ok to just use the small one unless someone really wants to see the high resolution image. I know in today’s world of “High Def” everyone wants all those pretty images on their website. I will keep playing with it.

So this was from the Snowageddon storm we had in Feb. Right now we are under the Snow-a-cane, the return. It is actually snowing sideways right now. These pics were from the day after the snow stopped. We never really got to build a snowman, but the kids had a lot of fun playing in the snow.

I guess I have to write some more stuff so the post looks ok. I am so lazy, I would rather just type some fluff instead of figure out how to force the gallery to keep the 2×2 structure. Maybe there isnt, maybe word press is just like that. I used to find answers now I just come up with more questions. So I have to remember for now that if I have a portrait orientation then I have to type at least 150 words or more. If it is in landscape then I can probably get away with writing almost nothing. This is after all a photoblog. A picture is worth a thousand words, but that does not mean I have to write a thousand words!

We are expecting to get another foor of snow before the weekend is over…

This last weekend we took a little day trip to Jim Thorpe. I was not aware that it was actually named after the football player Jim Thorpe. I have some more pics I will probably post. I do not have much to say about these. It was a nice walk. The town was small and I saw some other photogs out there. It is very scenic.

We stopped at this place called Penn’s Peak on the way home. It had a great view. Sorry I will post that pic later. Goodnight! Remember to follow me on Twitter (www.twitter.com/ctmedina)and I am also on Facebook.

Here are some pics from this year’s Karakung Kids Triathalon. There were more kids this year. Obviously I do not want to post pics with kids faces so I am using the ones that do not show. I shoot in continuous mode and these are the rejects. Well they are not rejects to me, but you know what I mean. I love shooting water, it is so fluid! hehe! Water has always intrigued me.

I just get mesmerized with the water. How the light gets captured underneath. I will post some later from the ones that Roman took.

Today was hat day Roman’s day camp. He asked if he could wear my old cowboy hat. I said sure.. Too bad he does not have any boots. That would have completed the outfit.
