Today was one of those days when I didn’t make many photographs. Days like this force me to work with what I have and that isn’t always a bad thing. This little stream runs through one of the areas at the botanical gardens in Hoover, it was sunny, and the light was not coming from the direction I really wanted but such are the realities of shooting outside.

For my camera equipment, I try to use our local Wolf Camera stores if possible. They had offered a good deal to customers to let them create a book with some of their photographs. My photographs haven’t been printed to any degree and I decided to take the time to put some of my images on a USB drive and head over to the store. One of the employees helped me a lot with layout and in the process it gave me a chance to discuss photography with someone that has some helpful insight for me. I have so much to learn and love to expand my knowledge. Now I am thinking about some options for lenses and also maybe a better tripod.
