Photo Phun with Phil

My Father in-law flew out this last weekend to visit our family. I'm big into Astronomy and getting into Photography, he is very much into photography, so Saturday Night we busted out my telescope, for my birthday I recieved a t-mount from my brothers, it's a piece of metal used to attach a camera to a telescope. Here's my favorite photo's from that night. The third photo was taken a few weeks before, it's a bit grainy due to my ISO being set too high.

The one below is by far my favorite Photo, I have this as my desktop wallpaper.

This is the grainy photo, you can't really notice the graininess unless you enlarge it, but it still looks great. Enjoy!!!

Yosemite

For Christmas I OFFICIALLY received my Camera, so My Father in-Law and I went on a trip to Yosemite, this is a photo I took of the gorgeous view we saw there. I Love this place

Well since my computer, internet connection, or Blogger is being odd I can only upload this one photo. All others can be found here.

New Camera NIKON D60!!!

New Camera!!! I originally bought the camera for a Birthday/Christmas present, so I could photograph the night sky. But I think I'll use it for everyday use as well. OK, so I don't pretend to be a Photographer, or atleast not yet. But these are a few photo's I took yesterday that I really like, and hope you like them too.

Timp Sunrise

Well my Friend Joel and I woke up at 3:00 am Saturday the 30th to hike timp. We intended to reach the summit by sunrise, however it didn't work out as planned. I still like how the photos turned out. It was breathtaking!!!

Provo Temple

On Wednesday Katie and I left the Temple around 8:00 pm after doing sealings. We left with this site on the horizon, all I had was my Camera phone, not too great, but it had the desired effect. The first photo is without anything changed, the second is Photoshopped, I tried to saturated the blue and orange to give a little more to the photo. Hopefully it worked:)

Coolant Failure

A few weeks ago, my Coolant light came on, not knowing the severity of the problem, I kept driving home. That night I bought more coolant and put it in the car. The next day on the way to work, the light came on again, now I was worried, so once I got to work I checked the radiator, and sure enough there was a leak. I huge crack.

So I decided to Google Radiators. By accident, I ended up chatting online with Radiator.com. they said thay had my part, mentioned they could get it to me in a few hrs, and qouted me a price. I had no intention of doing something this extensive job on my own, but figured I'd save at least $100 doing it this way. So I took the following day off from work, and went home, the whole time with the coolant light on.

After arriving home and seeing the Radiator waiting for me I decided to begin the task at hand. It took me about two hrs to complete the job, the entire time Katie bored out of her mind watching me, with Delila curious yet bored as well. Finishing, I refilled the radiator with coolant, and called it a night. The day I took off, turned into a day to help my wife with girls camp, Oh joy.

Despite what they said, it was much harder than changing a tire.
