dream hat photography : photos : Wallpaper : This bamboo shot was made for Joe (friend of mine) who thought the black bamboo would make a nice wallpaper.- powered by SmugMug

Since I started posting my images to the SmugMug galleries, I have used some of them as wallpaper for my computer. Some of my friends have also downloaded some of the images and done the same thing. This gallery will undergo some changes as I get more serious about posting wallpaper images here and I plan to offer various sizes designed for popular monitor resolutions. It is a work that is in progress and is just in the fledgling stages.

dream hat photography > There is something I like about shooting after a rainstorm. The water droplets on plants are one of my favorites. I won’t bother you with another water lily flower story……well actually, on most any other day; the water lily would have been my daily photo. Today it was crowded out by a lot of other images. I will post some of them to the bonus tracks gallery either tonight or tomorrow.

This was my choice for today’s photo. When I post the others, opinions may vary, but that is fine. It is all about how each person interprets the images. If we all thought the same thing, it would be very boring.

dream hat photography > My plans for today’s daily photo didn’t quite work out. I got out of bed about 5:30 this morning, grabbed a shower, and headed for the Regions Charity Golf Classic taking place at Ross Bridge in Hoover. The landscape around the course is beautiful and I was all set to take some nice shots of the view. No offense to anyone in the group but I am not a fan of golf. To me, watching golf isn’t much more exciting that watching bass fishing. The tournament was providing transportation via school buses from the baseball park to the tournament. So far so good, I parked my car, had my ticket, my camera backpack, and my tripod. I got off the bus, walked up to the people making sure everyone had tickets, the lady tore the stub off my hanging tag ticket. We were golden at this point. Then it happened.

She pointed to my backpack and said, “Is that a camera?” Cue the music from “Jaws”.

“Yes”, I replied.

“You can’t bring a camera in today. But you can leave it at the tent over there. The PGA won’t allow it in today” She countered.

Let me take a second to explain that this is a golf tournament on the Senior’s Tour, we aren’t talking Tiger Woods here.

So, I got back on the bus and rode back, just me and the bus driver. I read all of the fine print on the back of my ticket, no mention whatsoever of cameras. Somebody needs to clue the PGA in, most of the people walking into the tournament today had cameras, they just happen to be in their cell phones. No big deal, it was a pretty day, it was still very early, and I was wide awake. It simply became a change of venue. I got back in my car and drove to the Birmingham Botanical Gardens. So today’s photo is courtesy of the PGA since apparently they are camera haters. Bless their pointed little heads. You can yell anything you want at a baseball player at the plate trying to hit a 95 mph fastball but heaven forbid someone make a sound while a golfer takes a swing. That’s why the only golfer I like is Happy Gilmore.
