Are YOU lookin at ME???

Are YOU lookin at ME???, originally uploaded by D. Glen Elrod Photography.

So its been a long time since posts, so I thought I'd throw up one of my neighbors. This lady was wandering around the neighborhood with her two calves and stayed put long enough for me (and my wife and daughter and neighbors) to all have a nice long look and admire her and her children.

So, 30 minutes and a hundred or so pictures later and we left them in peace.

The business is finally taking off and things are getting busier and busier for me. Finally.

Take care,

Glen

Lame.....ducks

Winter has finally gotten, well, better. Its warmer (mid 30's) is a heat wave here so while I had two hours to kill while Candice was at a birthday party I decided to try my hand at duck photography. I manged to get to the spot, unload my gear, walk over to the spot I had predetermined and....watched all the ducks scatter! Not that I thought they would really be keen to me showing up in their area, but I figured with the constant noise of the road behind me, they would be used to some company.

Did I mention that this birthday party was schedule at the exact time the Iditarod restart was happening? Hopefully next year I'll make it.

I guess having to crop a duck photo while sitting in Alaska is better than fighting the French 'industrial action' my buddy James endured over the weekend.

So probably a disappointment that its not a picture of Alaska, but damn -20 is COLD!

I have now done my 5th delivery and have a total of 17 OB patients I'm following now! Not bad for just over two months in practice and no advertising to date. Thats coming very soon.

Look for my website also coming soon

I'm feeling green

OK, this is the picture that should have gone with that last post. I've already blogged the other photo.

If you happened to catch my buddy James, you know that I honestly and truly wish he'd just hurry up and get his wife out of the service and get back to Alaska. -5 degrees staring up at the stars was fun, but it would have been much more fun with a buddy.

I figure that green glow over the top of that mountain just might be what James was eluding to. Too bad he won't see it for a few more years yet.

This photo came courtesy of my new 10-22mm EFs lens. I know, I shouldn't have gotten an EFs lens if I would SOME day switch to full frame. But as I see it, I haven't gotten rid of my Digital Rebel yet (although it will soon be going to my brother-in-law) why would I part ways with the 30D. I'm sure it will work nicely on it for some time to come.

Lastly, why do camera shops insist on berating those of us that don't use cheap UV filters in front of our expensive L glass???? I paid $1200 for my 70-200 2.8L why would I want to put a $30 or $100 dollar piece of glass in front of it?

Until another dark night,

Finally...

It looks like I finally get to start working! I'll be credentialled to start working as of 1 December. It has been great being off for two months, but I'm ready to start practicing again.

Wish me luck!

After several attempts in vain, I have finally figured out how to show off my photos on flickr better.

Only 7 weeks and 5 days left at RAF Lakenheath. Orders aren't in yet, but I'm not particularly worried. We should get everything in on time. Its just a bit over a week until we head out to Alaska for a house hunting trip. Even with the benefit of the internet, its hard buying a house over the net.
