Native American/ Cowboy Illustrations

 Always keep your camera near as you never know when you can capture beauty. These illustrations were found in a small town in Kansas on our way to Colorado. Photography is a great hobby and could make you money if you know the right people. Stay tuned for more photos of Wine glass and pearls that I set up and shot with a 4 by 4 camera. Talk about great fun. Photography is capturing beauty before it disappears forever. ENJOY!

Photo of welder

Photo by Kelly Frank

This shot took several times to get the sparks in action of the welder. By adjusting shutter speed and a little luck I really enjoyed this challenge. Photography is fun and all I have to say is relax and enjoy whatever your talent is. Whether you think its good or bad is not the point. I like it and that is what is important. I think this is a work of art and beauty is in the eye of the beholder as they say. Comments welcomed!

Photography and exploration

Photo by Kelly Frank

Photography is great fun and any subject can be used to practice and learn about adjusting shutter speeds and all the things you can do with your digital camera. Don't be afraid to try anything because you can delete it if you don't like it. That's the great thing about the digital world of camera's. This photo was one of my first attempts using a still 4 by 4 camera while in photography class. This actual shot took several attempts to get just the right negative but learning is exciting and the more you learn about simple adjustments the more useful the camera becomes. Have fun and enjoy as a hobby. You never know when the perfect moment will appear so keep your camera near.

Iris of 2011

Using Picnic software to manipulate this photo adds some variety to the photograph. These are just free manipulations but you can purchase Premium to have additional options. Just think about how digital cameras have changed the computer world in a short time. What is the next technology that will transform the future of blogging and the internet? Just think there is some youth or adult with the next fascinating invention that will change the world as we know it today. If you noticed I said any age of person could transform the on-line technology. We have only had personal computers since 1985 and there is a generation that currently never has known a world without computers and digital cameras. Where there come a day that when you say DVD that a child will not know what you are talking about. The speed that life is changed by technology is ancient in the blink of an eye. Don't blink or you will miss it!

The world, moon and Kansas

The moon viewed from where I stood in eastern Kansas which the camera was able to capture my perspective but not the color. The Western Hemisphere viewed the exact same moon from a different perspective according to where they stood at that exact moment. Millions of people shared the same view of the this moon yet there picture would reflect a whole new perspective. By experimenting with photography at night I aim to capture the vivid colors actually I see. Sometimes photos capture odd things not seen by the human eye. Challenge yourself to capture the true artistic colors of God's palette!

Welder-The Medium of Using Steel to Create Works of Art

Photography is exciting especially trying to get action shots like these. To catch the sparks and using black and white film added to the drama of the welder. This welder was creating the beautiful iron tables with copper tops and I caught him in the process. I highly recommend the use of any Adobe products for designers or photography. The creative possibilities are limitless with computer tools.

Antique Cup

China Cups and Saucers

This cup is very ornate and the color changes with the light of the day. The unique painting caught my eye with the gold trimmings along the edges. It also has a pearl finish on the inside of the cup. It is hard to tell here but it has a blue-green tint on the outside. I have 3 sets of these cups but this is the only one without a saucer. It has Safton China on the bottom of the cup and says hand painted with a number on the bottom. This series of cups came out of an old house that was over 100 years old. There were many antiques that were in good condition from this house. I am want to capture the blue tint so more photos will follow.
