Foto Friday: The Archives III

With a lack of ideas right now for Foto Friday, I thought it would be a good time to do another Archive post.

For those new to the blog, the Archives is where I go through my Flickr and click on random pages for random photos. I then post them here.

I think the reason I enjoy this feature is it makes me look at some of my old photos. That works for me two ways — it let’s me look back to see what I’ve done and it also makes me see different things I can work on to improve. Sometimes, it will also give me some inspiration moving forward.

So, without further delay… here’s the Archives III, all from my Flickr stream.

When do you think they are open?

I hope to get back down to Avalon this fall to be able to do some photos, geocaching and relaxing. Even if just for a long weekend.

Last year’s Vibram Open. I’m not hitting it up this year, unfortunately. Hope it goes well!

Foto Friday: The Archives II

It’s that time again.

I’ve been sifting through my Flickr account as I try and update things and keep up to date on uploading my Project 366!

While I was at it, I was thinking it might be fun to do an archive Foto Friday, as I did back in February.

The idea is simple — I choose a few random Flickr pages and select a photo from it. I hope you enjoy this trip through some archives!

A lucky shot when I was out taking images at a local nature spot. Taken earlier this year.

Taking off!

Taken during my trip to the Jersey Shore in October 2011. This was during a night photo outing in Atlantic City.

The seedy side of the city?

I did some night photos at the local county fair and this is one of the shots. I really loved the long-exposure shots and how they came out.

Fast action!

In January 2011, I went on a LL Bean adventure with snowshoeing. I, of course, took photos. We were with some U at Albany students and they were happy enough to be in the photos.

Got to see a comedian that I met years ago in Montreal. He was doing a show in Albany. Funny as ever. And I really enjoyed the show and took some photos I really liked.

This photo — one I took at the Fly Creek Cider Mill — somehow got into Stumbled or something like that and got massive hits. To date, it has nearly 20,000 views!

Good sign.

Yeah!

I hope you enjoyed this trip down photo lane with me. I’ll likely do it again sometime in the future after I pile up some more pages worth of photos on Flickr!

Snapshot Saturday: Feb. 11

Another blast from the past!

There’s actually snow on the ground today. It’s something we haven’t seen much of around here this year. Not a lot mind you, but it’s covering the ground.

Until then, I had heard of people playing golf around here recently. Sheesh! In February!

With that in mind, this one goes back a few years to our local County Golf Championship.

This is my brother on one of the greens with my mother watching.

On the course.

Fore!

Enjoy!

Foto Friday: The archives

My external hard drive is starting to fill up. That pretty much means I need to start shifting some things and deleting, or I might not have room for a lot of photos.

I have three external hard drives, but two of them are full and the third, which is a terabyte, doesn’t have much left. I know there’s a lot of waste on all three of them. So, over the next few weeks, it’s my hope to really clear a lot of space. In the end, I’d like to have the TB drive be all photos only — so I can get an online backup service as well.

Anyway, as I do that, I got peeking at some older photos. And that got me interested in looking at some older photos on Flickr, too. So, in this post, I am going to share some of my favorite (or not so favorite) photos from the Flickr archives. Things are going to be random. I am going to hit a few random pages and snag a photo of those pages and share them here.

I’m hoping to head out and shoot some fireworks tonight, so if things come out as I hope, I’ll look to share what I did and such with the images next Friday.

Ahhh, this past September. We got some unseasonably warm weather and this page was basically filled with sports photos — a softball tournament and some flag football. Here’s one of those shots.

Foul ball!

I had been catching up on posting some images, including from my trip to Ireland in 2010. Those photos were on this page.

Good advice!

The unknown plots are extremely moving. There are far too many.

Ahhh, the Ireland trip. This wasn’t long after getting back. This was a shot I took in Howth.

This big snowstorm at the end of February 2010 shut down local schools and even the local college. A great day to be out taking photos!

Snow!

I hope you enjoyed a slight trip through the archives with me. I’m sure as I get going through these external drives, I’ll be sharing more — and uploading a lot more to Flickr. I want to get a lot more of my photos on Flickr and put them together as sets. That way, they are there for all to see!
