    Panning Your Subject…

    While panning your ‘fast-moving’ subject it’s sometimes important to pay attention to what’s happening in the background before releasing the shutter for that ‘perfect’ shot. Image Copyright © 2009, Barrett Photo Art I got the shot I wanted later. I guess I’m glad that digital came along because film would get expensive during my ‘trial and error’ learning spree. Image…

    Mail Delivery…

    I rather miss the old Jeeps that the post office uses. I believe they still use them in the rural areas but not so much in the cities anymore.  Image Copyright © 2009, Barrett Photo Art The Jeep is so distinctive and not only does it remind me of the post office but my Army days as well. They’re tough…

    Peer Pressure…

    I remember when I was young and how sometimes my mouth would override my abilities. I was taken down memory lane here recently when I watched as my grandson told a lovely little girl how he could make it across the monkey bars. He had not taken in to account his physical limitations as he had already traversed the bars…

    Central Texas Rain…

    I’m so glad it rained. There is so much to see and do after a heavy downpour (other than dry off). I noticed my grandson’s bicycle had fallen over in the storm. Image Copyright © 2009, Barrett Photo Art Now you may be thinking that’s a shadow under the bicycle but it looks like God decided to draw on my…

    Moon Tips…

    I don’t get asked alot of questions but I found the answer to a common question by Googling it. The question was “How do you photograph the moon?”. Image © Copyright 2009, Barrett Photo Art The thing to remember is that the moon is reflecting the sun’s light and is bright. Most cameras on auto have a habit of exposing…

    Old Buildings…

    I love old buildings and small towns. It makes me wonder what it must have been like way back in the day when the town was growing up. Downtown Lockhart, Texas is a good example. There are alot of wonderful places to explore in that town. I think a great thing to do is to stop in a small town…

    Photo -a- Day…

    You know sometimes it’s hard to do a photo a day come to think of it. But I will get better as time goes along. I almost always have my camera with me but I’ve found that when I “TRY” to take a good photograph that it sometimes just doesn’t happen. Image Copyright © 2009  Barrett Photo Art I did…

    Hard Drives…

    Did ya notice that once a hard drive goes bad there is not much you can do with it. Well… I decided to imortalize this one as it was such a good servant. (Backed up of course). Image Copyright © 2009, Barrett Photo Art. Well it appears that the little fella (SATA Laptop 250 gig hard drive) decided he would…

    Drought Continues…

    Well the drought continues with water restrictions in place. The good news being that the water usage has dropped 23%.I thought I’d try and take a photograph a day and update the blog just to see what I could do. Enjoy!

    The Other Side…

    I like tunnels. Or at least the perception of tunnels. The pattern that is created by looking THROUGH things…like the triangles at the park. I don’t know what the appeal is. Maybe it’s the other side. Or setting goals. Image © Copyright 2009, Barrett Photo Art I just enjoy the pattern created by some things. I mean looking under this…
