01-01-09 Created a new section, Slideshows, where you will find a slideshow of my 2008 photos.
08-30-08 Added four images to Tallgrass Prairie.
08-03-08 I went to the Mississippi Valley Fair this week. Unlike last year when I went in the evening, this year I went in the morning. I got to see a 4H horse judging. That made for an interesting photo shoot. Out of the sixty one photos I took I only got one keeper out of that, but it's a good one. Visiting the fair inspired me to create a new section on the website. The title of which shouldn't be big surprise.
06-15-08 Added four more images of the June flooding, this time of downtown Davenport.
06-13-08 Added three images to Miscellaneous of the June 2008 flooding along Duck Creek.
01-29-08 Added one to Astrophotography, three to Miscellaneous, two to Tallgrass Prairie, and one to Wildlife. Oh yeah, and then there's that crazy self-portrait where I'm decked out in my cold weather gear on the About Scot page.
10-20-07 Nothing. Okay, I have been tweaking on a dozen or so photos that I have shared with you over the last month. I have also rewritten the About Me page in the third person and renamed that page, About Scot. Then again, you'd know that if you've been following my blog.
10-06-07 Again this week added five images to Rural Iowa, and one to Wildlife.
09-29-07 Added five images to Rural Iowa. My old bicycle got in the act, as foreground object. Also added one to Wildlife.
09-23-07 Added two images to Rural Iowa.
09-08-07 Added four images to Tallgrass Prairie.
08-27-07 Added eight images to Tallgrass Prairie and one to Rural Iowa.
08-18-07 Added a image of a cicada molt to Wildlife. I've been tweaking on the About me page too, at least it doesn't read like a personal ad now. My thanks to Jim and Bob for their input on that project.
08-03-07 Added fifteen images of the Mississippi Valley Fair to Rural Iowa. Created a new section Phases of the Moon. Oh, and I changed one of the images in the About me section.
07-30-07 Added a photo in Astrophotography of tonight's full Moon. A couple of weeks ago I snuck a new page up on the website too, its all About me.
07-08-07 Added an image of the constellation Scorpius in Astrophotography.
07-02-07 Added an image of a 17 day old Moon in Astrophotography.
06-17-07 Seems as if I've been having a busy weekend out with the camera. I've got four new ones to share with you. Three in Tallgrass Prairie and one in Miscellaneous.
06-15-07 Added a new spiderwort image in the Tallgrass Prairie section.
06-10-07 I acquired a new piece of photography gear this week that lets me use my telescope as a camera lens. It is not for terrestrial photography but for astrophotography. I started with a shot of the Moon. It's big and bright, and I've been wanting to do a series of images of the phases of the Moon for years. You know what's coming to these pages someday, now don't you?
06-02-07 Added a new image of meadow anemone in the Tallgrass Prairie section. I was never really too happy with the image that I had on these pages of that prairie plant. I culled a couple of other images that I wasn't happy with either.
05-25-07 Added a new image in Astrophotography of the May 19, 2007 Moon Venus conjunction.
05-11-07 I got out with the camera a couple of times this past week. I even managed to get some shots that I thought were good enough for these pages. You'll find the newest images in the Tallgrass Prairie and Miscellaneous sections.
05-05-07 I've just modified eight of the Texas Hill Country images to be set as desktop wallpaper. Click on the wallpaper link for that image, a new window will open, then right click on the image, and left click on "Set as Background".
04-21-07 I've been holding out on you. I've had a few astrophotographs that I haven't bothered to share. Since I collected a few more just last week while in Texas I thought that this might be a good time to put them all together in one spot.
04-20-07 I just got back from my second trip to the Texas hill country, as you might expect I've got a bunch of images to share. I took 295 photographs, only 63 of them made these pages. You'll find them in the Texas Hill Country section. It was certainly a fabulous trip. Thanks again to Sally and Bob.
03-16-07 I managed to get a little time off of work for a weekend, been working seven days a week since I don't know when. That doesn't mean that I haven't been able to get out with the camera, I just haven't been able to update these pages. I have ten new images to share with you. Five in Rural Iowa, two in Tallgrass Prairie, two in Wildlife and one in Change of Seasons.
10-20-06 Just got back from three days in the Texas Hill Country. Not all the images there are nature photography based, some are about 19th century American history, my other interest. I suppose a long blog post is in order.
09-15-06 After two months you'd think that I'd have a lot of images to share, motivated by the new camera. Think again. I've been working seven days a week since my last update here. I'm too worn out at the end of my day to do any photography. This past week I forced myself to get out one evening with the camera and came up with one image worth sharing. I'm going to have to suck it up and get out with the camera a lot more over the next month. At least that's the plan. We'll have to see how well that plan gets executed.
07-14-06 I've been busy for the last two weeks, I've got eleven new images on these pages. Eight new ones in the Tallgrass prairie gallery, a new Change of Seasons image, and two Moon photos in the Miscellaneous section. One of a nearly full Moon and another of a nineteen day old Moon.
Oh yeah, I've created a Change of Seasons gallery and moved some images around.
I'm getting some prairie plants shot that I missed out on last year; compass and lead plants are the latest additions. I've got an image I'm some what happier with of rattlesnake master.
07-01-06 The new camera seems to be keeping my inspired so far. I've got eight new images to share with you in the Tallgrass prairie gallery.
06-04-06 I've completely lost my mind. I've got a new camera, a new digital camera. It's a Pentax *ist DL. The vital statistics? 6.1 megapixel digital SLR. I got a 1 gig SD memory card and rechargeable batteries for it too. The new camera works with all the lenses that my film camera uses. It will be interesting to see if this gets me inspired. So far that seems to be working, I've been out on the prairie with it three times in the ten days since I got it. You can figure that I'll be shooting the same stuff that I shot last year. That's right, it's been that long since I've spent any time out with a camera.
It seems as though I've had some changes for the web site that I never bothered to upload. I did away with the wildflower category and added the Tallgrass prairie. In the Tallgrass prairie category you'll find five new images. The meadow anemone and balsam ragwort are reshoots.
06-26-05 By my last count I've added sixteen new images to these pages. I think that's the most new images I've added at one time in years. I'm impressed anyway. Removed three images from and added four new images to Rural Iowa, for those of you following the changes of seasons, there's a new change of season photo in there as well. Also added one new sunset.
05-29-05 You might want to take the time to look at my Monitor Calibration page.
03-19-05 I have been trying to get some more winter scenes photographed, but it's been pretty hit or miss, mostly miss. I can't say for sure when they'll get added to this space, if ever.
With the sun about to cross the equator Sunday morning, my thoughts are turning to subjects for spring time photography. I've got some plans, it will be interesting to see if I can execute them.
Not that this is related to my photography, a blog has been added to this web site, Scot's blog.
01-29-05 Finally after three months I've got some new images to share. You'll find the new images in the; Miscellaneous, and Wildlife galleries.
09-10-04 I've been spending a lot of time in West Branch, Iowa as of late. Which has given me an opportunity to photograph rural Iowa landscapes.
12-28-02 This page. It occurred to me while visiting my good friend Jim's photopages that it was impossible or difficult at best to determine what's new in my online photo gallery. Which prompted me to create this page. Here at least I can point you in the direction to where the new stuff is posted. Now I just need to grab my cameras and shoot some new stuff to post!
