Blogs of Note


Here’s an image that I took during one of my photo excursions in downtown Lakeland over a year ago. It wasn’t long after I captured this image that I began sharing my work on this Photo Blog. Looking at this image now, I can’t help but think about the style of my Photo Blogging friend, Anna. She recently made the comment that we “shoot alike” and I totally agreed with her.

On another note, my Dad, “Salty” (Formerly known as "Salty Dawg" in Blog land), as moved his Photo Blog to a new address, countrycaptures.blogspot.com. He made the change to keep consistent with his new Blog title and theme. He’s doing a lot of great stuff over there, so be sure to check him out.

Another Blog of note, is one of my cousins up north, Amy. She also captures a lot of great country and nature themed images. Her "Frosty Mountains" image will cool you off on this hot summer day. So go check out her photos and let her know what you think!

It's like the focal point is the background color. I like it.

On my way to check your dad's work, thanks for letting us know.

Anna said...

I LOVE this shot! I SO would have taken that! :) Thanks for the props! We really do need to shhot together now that I am practically your neighbor! Hehehe. Soon we will be visiting HL and his wife Nikki...how about then?

Have a great weekend Chad!

Lara said...

ooh, this is a great shot. i'm not sure i've found anyone i feel "i shoot like", but that just means i get so many cool inspirations from people who are different from me. :)

Thank you so much for the kind words and publicity, Chad :) You've really gotten me into blogging.

I think you sent me this picture a long time ago in an email - its always been a favorite. In fact, its the desktop background on my computer!

I like the way you shoot your photos. Also, I updated your dad's blog address in my address sidebar.
I will check out your cousins blog too.
Sorry, I haven't been posting as much but have been preoccupied with my mom in and out of the hospital. She's back in again.

Shionge said...

I will and thanks for sharing and introducing their blogs :D

This is so great Chad. I love the color in the background too. Looks great against the gold.

Coy Hill said...

Thanks for the promo Chad.

I agree with Anna, the two of you definitely shoot a lot alike.

I think my style may be a cross between Faye & Abraham with a Salty flavor ;)

Lori said...

What a cool shot. At this point in time my photography is centered more around family, but once the kids are grown and on their own, I'll probably try to get a little more creative!

I have actually been to your dad's blog, quite a long time ago! That's so bizarre that I can piece the two of you together. When I get time I'll have to bookmark him...and need to add you to my sidebar, if that's all right.

I like this a lot. Colors, curves, straight lines. I would have probably not seen this had I been sitting there.
