FenceReds Image Five

FenceReds Image Five, originally uploaded by chriswalker2009.

One of a series ... The brilliant red flowers contrasted so nicely against the drab faded oxidized chain link fence. Choose a shallow DOF just to give the reds more brillance... very satisfied with this image. Taken while waiting for a train on 07/09/10 at Fullerton Station in Fullerton, CA

Thanks for stopping in to have a look.

Revisiting the PE Depot in Bellfower, CA

PE Bellfower, CA, originally uploaded by chriswalker2009.

On June 12th I decided to stop by the recently restored Pacific Electric Depot in Bellflower, CA. The first and only other time I had visited was shortly after the grand ceremony and it was not fully completed at that time. They added a few extra touches since then.

Play Time At the Park

Michigan Park - 05.13.2010, originally uploaded by chriswalker2009.

I took my daughter to the park near my house to let her play and hopefully give me a few portrait / candid images. She loves to model and I love to photograph her. A great combo if you ask me.

Flowing Bokeh

Flowing Bokeh 34, originally uploaded by chriswalker2009.

According to Wikipedia, the word Bokeh is defined as follows...In photography, bokeh is the blur, or the aesthetic quality of the blur, in out-of-focus areas of an image, or "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light.

Combined that with a gentle breeze and a moderate slow shutter speed and the possibility is almost endless.

So Much Food, So Little Time 20

So Much Food, So Little Time 20, originally uploaded by chriswalker2009.

Captured this little guy in my front yard munching on a flower. Thought that this perspective suited it best as if looking out to see so much food but having so little time to partake of it all.

This is part of my lagging 365 photo a day project.

My 2 day old son managed to get his big toe through a hole in one of his socks while in the hospital.

Thought it deserved a photo capture.
