GoodNight, Irony at it again

 
GoodNight, Irony was rocking out Friday evening during a practice. I enjoy getting up close to the action. The guys are fun to work with at let me get in their face while they pump out some amazing music.

This weekend my family traveled to Boone NC to see my sister who is going to App. Here are a few pictures from our very fun weekend.

Andrew is showing off his new hat that his mommy made him on the way to Boone!

 Andrew is getting to share Grand Papa's ice cream cone.

 Em stole my camera while I was sitting on a rock with Andrew and snapped some really great pictures, this is one of them.

Over the weekend we went on a hike to Little Cataloochee, a very small settling in the 1800's that is now a part of the Smokey Mountains National Park. The fall colors where alive, dancing across a bright blue sky.

We met some horses along the way. It made me want to own one.

Drive-by photography. My family has enjoyed road trips ever since I was a child. I have always taken pictures from the car while we were on the road and I really love the way they turn out. As an adult I don't ride much because I love to drive but every now and then I will hop in the passenger side armed with my camera and snap away at the world that is blurring by. This is what I saw today from the car.

Imported Pumpkin Patch

In our town the local First Methodist Church fills their front yard with hundreds of pumpkins. It makes it a great place to get fall pictures. The boy was in a face making mood and I had to share his wonderful talent.

We went to some of our great friends' house this evening and I was able to capture some wonderful photographs of their kids testing out their Halloween costumes.

This past week my wife had some family come into town. We had a photo shoot with some of the family at a local park.  We planned the shoot about a week ago and decided to do it at 10am on Saturday morning. Most of you who view the blog that live in the south east of the United States know that we had a cold snap over the weekend and at 10am it had only warmed to 45 degrees. The family members where troopers and we where able to get some wonderful pictures.

 I know that this is a popular idea but I really enjoyed how Tim Fleenor (no relation to my knowledge) did this. After trying it I have figured out a few ways to make it better and look forward to using it again in the future.

I snapped a few shots of Andrew and one of his cousins, Leila.

We tried a rocking chair shot and Leila was not to fond of it but we still got some good shots.
