A Sunrise!

Yes! I actually woke up early enough to get a sunrise picture... *gasp* Really that's the only reason I woke up at 6:15, was to go and take pictures of the sunrise. I drove to a park, got there before there was even a sliver of sun light. Found a good spot, got setup ( get the tripod out, set it up, contemplate on which lens I want to use, 10 minutes later put the winning lens on, decide what part of the horizon I want to shoot. etc, etc,etc.), low and behold there is some light creeping over the tops of the trees and I look out at the sky and just about started crying!!!! THERE WASN'T ONE SINGLE CLOUD IN THE SKY!!!!!!!!!!!! I woke up HOURS earlier than usual, stood around in the cold for an hour and there isn't a single cloud!!! *epic fail >:-[}* So I pack back up run to the car and start driving! I finally found an OK picture..... by all means not what I was wanting. :(

What do y'all think??

Hibiscus

Flowers are a great thing to take pictures of, they stay still and so colorful.

A Sea of Clouds

As you can probably tell, I like to shoot the sky. :D

A Hungry Squirrel

I heard this little fella makin some weird noise and when I found 'em, I noticed he was eatin somethin, and I don't know why I am talkin like a country boy (droppin ma g's and such) I guess I'm just in tha mood for it. lol! :P Anyway this little guy was staying completely still when he saw me and I was quite amazed how long he stayed there with me watching him.

Wonderful Sunset

I know, it's not a very good sunset but it's the best I could do for living in suburbia. lol

Football

I really like this one except for the power lines and the pole.

A Lone Cloud

A Bug in the Sun

Time for Fall Decorations!!

Yes! I do believe it is really, truly, positively here. Yes, I know the calendar said it has been here for awhile now, but the weather is finally starting to show it! I am so happy!!! I can't wait until it gets pretty cold outside! :)

Squirrel

If you look closely this is actually a female squirrel that is nursing. You can tell because right under her hands there are like 4 little circular areas that are a bit darker then the white hair. Where the babies were, I have no clue.

Beautiful Sky+Night Time= VERY Hard Shot

Here is the thing about this shot, I took it Monday night at about 6:30/7 o'clock PM so it was almost complete dark outside. After spending about 20 to 30 minutes at the park being mercilessly attacked by mosquitoes I finally got ONE picture out of like 20 that was worth editing.

So a little bit about this photo. The shutter speed is at 30 seconds and I did not have a tripod with me so I made a make-shift one using a park bench and one of the shoes I was wearing. LOL

Little Bitty Leaves

I took this the other day when it was raining and there is a spot in the backyard that kind of floods, it also collect what ever these little leaf things are. I loved how the leaves in the water kind of add another dimension to the photo.

Sunflowers

Oh, as y'all can see it is I have chosen to use "Zac Snaps"

I NEED YOUR HELP

As some of y'all know I am changing the name, well Kristen suggested I let y'all have some input on this.

So please if you have a good name suggestion tell me. I am wanting to keep it kind of professional because I want to turn this into a business in the next year or so.

Also tell me what you think of:

Zac Foreman Photography

Frozen by Zac

(these are Kristen's suggestions)

Zac Snaps

Mushrooms

Classical Cat

Changing the name

So I was on the web the other day and found ANOTHER "Photos by Zac" and it was copyrighted. :( So I am changing the name of my blog. I will probably change the URL in a few weeks but for now I just changed the header and title.

I will do another post when I am going to change the URL. I am just giving y'all a heads up. :)

Anyway as you can see I have/will be changing the name to "Zac Foreman Photography." I think it sound and looks a lot more professional. I actually like it better than photos by zac. xD

Wonderful Light

I love this photo. For some reason I just love taking picture of the clouds, it just reminds me that God who "painted" this cares for even the smallest of creatures.

I love how the light kind of makes the edges of the cloud glow and that you can see the rays of sun reaching out of the cloud.
