Today, we went back down town to Waterfront Park. Our intention was to go to Charlestowne Landing, but got there 45 minutes before it closed. Who knew a state park closed at 5pm? Here are some of the best pictures. You can see them all on my flickr page.

Today I took my wife with me on the photowalk. On the way downtown we stopped at the Ritz Photo. It was like Christmas. I got:
- Tripod
- Neutral Density Filter
- Multi Coated UV Filter
- Circular Polarizer
I also figured out I have a huge passion for chasing squirrels around parks and taking their pictures. The squirrels at Battery Park are especially fun, because they aren’t afraid of humans.

Today it was pretty cloudy, and I got a late start, so I didn’t want to venture too far from home. I shot these at the Charles Pickney National Park on Long Point Road. I didn’t have much sunlight, and I have a bad habit of blowing out the skies when I shoot near dusk. Once I get better, I think this would be a great place to shoot spooky photos.

For photowalk number three I went to Isle of Palms and Breach Inlet.
I learned a lot today about my camera and taking pictures at the beach. I took probably 250 pictures over the course of an hour or so, of that, about 230 were over exposed. I used the aperture priority mode on the camera, but I think I had it too low (or high?) and the shutter couldn’t fire fast enough. I was able to save some of the pictures (see below), and I enjoyed the 74 degree weather we are having in the middle of January.
You can see the whole set here. My favorites are below.
This is my favorite from the set. It is the rust that has formed below the spout at the shower beside Coconut Joe’s.
Me and this guy danced around for quite a few minutes. This is the best one that came out.
This picture got blown out, but I got a nice shot after playing with it in iPhoto.

Here are some photos of a game played by the Charleston City Champion Benefitfocus Flag Football Team. I typically play but I twisted my ankle in the game before this one.
I learned two things from this shoot:
1. I need a tripod
2. The field needs more lights
I took almost 250 pictures, but because I didn’t have a tripod, most were too blurry. Also, the ISO was so high there was a good deal of artifacts in the pictures.

This week’s set was taken at the Mount Pleasant Memorial Waterfront Park. It was REAL cold, so I didn’t stay very long. The further out the pier I went, the stronger and colder the air got.
Below are my two favorite. You can see this set, and all of my other travel pictures on my Flickr site:

I got a new camera for Christmas, and as I was learning about improving my photography skills I ran on a group of photographers who have challenged themselves to take at least one walk per week with the intention of taking pictures. My goal is to do as many of these weeks as possible, post them on my Flickr site, as well as putting the highlights here.
This set was taken down in Battery Park in Charleston, SC. You can see the whole set here.
