Day After Thanksgiving

On the day after Thanksgiving (yesterday) we went to the pond at the park where the ducks hang out and where our duck Huck is too. We couldn't exactly find him so we walked around the pond looking for him waiting for him to come to us. It was a beautiful day and I was able to take a quite a few beautiful photographs. Here are some of them.

Wonderful News

I have wonderful news! About two weeks ago, my parents went back to the park with my sister and guess what? They found Huck!!! Everyone was so happy to hear that. So we have gone back a couple of times. But when we went a couple days ago he didn't come to us, we are pretty sure we saw him with the duck that he likes to hang out with the other times we went there. So here are some new pictures of him from the second to last time we went.

Sad News: Huck

Yesterday, the Eighth of November, our family had a terrible loss. Our beloved pet duck Huck escaped. We went around town looking for him, searching the skies, going to the pond that we took him to the one time where the other ducks hang out. There were so many at the pond in the park that looked exactly like him that we couldn't tell if he was among them or not. We are still hoping that he is fine and hopefully will return home soon. We are going to keep his cage door wide open with fresh, clean water in his bowl and food in his dish in hopes that some day soon he will return. We all miss him very much and hope for the best.

So here are some more old photos of him...

Which One?

I have this one picture that I really like and generally other people seem to like a lot, too. I have too versions of it, the original color version and a black and white version. My question is, which one is better. On one hand I like black and White photography, but on the other hand I really like the colors of the original, So what do you think?

Random Photographs

Since I have so many random old photographs on my computer, I am just going to post some of them at a time here in posts just like this, maybe like five or ten at a time until all of my random old pictures run out. Here is the first round.

One of my cousins looking out of our front window.

A Neighborhood cat that always seems to be hunting the gophers in our front yard.

A Japanese Pagoda and it's gardens.

Old - Panorama

A while ago, I entered a contest on DeviantArt.com for a new camera. The contest was to create a panorama shot. I came up with two different ideas for this contest, unfortunately I did not win but I thought I would put the different versions of the two pictures to see what others think the best versions of the pictures are.

The first ones are of a path me and my family walked on while we were picking up my cousin from where she gets dropped off at from school (She takes the bus). First is the version that I submitted for the contest.

Next are the other versions I made by changing the brightness and colors and stuff like that. Here they are...

This is actually the original picture.

Third version.

Fourth Version.

Black and White Version.

This is the next one that I entered in the contest, these are all my shoes, I digitally removed the brand names and labels from the shoes.

This last one is one I took on the same day as the first one, I did not submit this one because some of the areas of the fence did not match up very well and it looks kin of weird, but I will show it here anyway.
