4000 Miles

It has been a while since my last post because I have been having problems with upgrading my computer.  I think I have it all fixed.

It has nearly been a month since our vacation and I still have not done this post so I decided to do it now.

We went through 11 states and there is at least one photo here from each state we went through.

In this post I would just like to say... whenever you go on a vacation, you should make sure to take lots of pictures wherever you go.

Next time I have challenged myself to take flower pictures.

Vacation Fun

Three weeks ago my family started a 4000 mile road trip to see Mount Rushmore and meet some of our relatives. We brought one LEGO person for each member of our family to take pictures with. Here are some of the pictures that we took of them on our vacation.

Some of my favorite shots were with my little guy and his camera (My mom bought this LEGO camera especially for the trip!).  I have pictures of his at the Dr. Pepper museum.  And then there is a photo of him at our new favorite restaurant...Pops...on Route 66 in Oklahoma.  And, finally a picture with the entire crew at the famous Mt. Rushmore.
My brother is going to share more of these pictures on his LEGO blog as well.

Another tip I have for you:  When you take pictures on your vacation you should take a picture of a sign or something else like that to show where you are. That way you don't forget the location where the picture was taken.

Next time I will show you other pictures I took on our 4000 mile road trip.

Sun set

Hello again  last night I went out after getting ready for bed to take pictures of the sun set. I think I took them a little late for them to look really nice but I think they turned out OK. I hope you like these pictures.

Sun set pictures are hard because you have to take them at the right time or they don't look good and the sun set happens really fast. There is also the possibility that your camera wont get all the colors right so the pictures don't look as beautiful as the real sun set.


Next time I will do a blog about my vacation.

Flames

Hi again, as I said last time I am going to show you some pictures of fire today.

Pictures of fire are hard because they get blurry if it is to dark around them but it is hard to see the flames if it is bright around them.


Next time I will be doing sunset pictures, until then keep taking pictures and don't forget to post challenge ideas in the comments.

Microscopic

I am sorry that it took so long to do this post but it took me a while to get enough clear pictures trough telescopes and microscopes to do this blog then I got a ton of microscope pictures but I can not find any of my telescope pictures so this is going to be mostly microscope picture and they are going to mostly be of bugs.

These pictures are hard to take because you have to get the camera angled just right to see the thing that you are taking a picture of. You will also have a black ring around the picture that is difficult  to crop out without taking out part of the thing in the picture.


In my next blog I will do pictures of fire.

Snow and Ice

The reason that its been so long since my last post is because I did not had a computer for  a while. I decided that since it was winter and it was snowing, I would do a post with just snow pictures instead of doing pictures of all kinds of weather. Now I will get to the pictures.

With snow it is really easy to do very pretty close up pictures and landscape pictures if you don't mind getting cold

In my next post I will be sharing my pictures I took through a telescope.  Until then I hope you have fun playing in the snow!
