Today he published the P-Z’s. To my surpriise I was included in his list. I am very honored to be be included and will keep up the hard work to remain on his list.

While I was at work today my phone kept alerting me to Google+ activity. After I investigated I noticed that may people have added me to their circles. This is no doubt a result of being listed.

One of my photos is on HDRCATS

T.J. — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 21:07:29 +0000

This image is featured over on the HDRCATS Blog. I took this photo in November 2011 at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. I blogged about this last month and it It is the last photo in the gallery.

I took that photo and converted it into a single exposure HDR to make it look as tacky to post on the HDRCATS Blog. William Beem set up the blog after watching an episode of the The Grid and wrote about why he did it.

Ledges Trail @ Liberty Park after Snowfall

T.J. — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 18:09:07 +0000

The boys and I went on a hike yesterday after an overnight snowfall. We went to the Ledges Trail at Liberty Park which is part of the Summit County Metroparks in Twinsburg (ohio). This trail opened a this past fall and we visited it shortly after it opened. The trail goes through wetlands on a boardwalk and along the base of sandstone ledges. We did not spot the Black Bear that is believed to be in the area.

The boys commented during the hike that it was hard to walk in the snow and they got really tired.

I took the camera and tripod and took photos, you can see the photos on my Photo Gallery and below. All of these shots with the exception of the ones with the boys were shot bracketed that was processed in Nik Software’s HDR Efex Pro.

Tonight the boys and I took a trip over the Silverdale Lights to see what it was like. All of us were very impressed, the lights were great and not overdone, the lights were set up to go along with the music. This year, according the website, there are over 50,000 lights.

The official charity of the Silverdale Lights is the Officer Joshua T Miktarian Memorial Scholarship Fund. They are collecting donations at the lights or on the website. I have written about Officer Miktarian on this blog before, click to search.

Cleveland Metroparks Zoo Trip

T.J. — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 20:59:47 +0000

We went to the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo last month. We have been busy and not had a chance to get through the photos until today. It was a nice cool day at the zoo and the animals were fairly active. We got to see the Lions, Tigers and Polar Bears. The Polar Bear was extremly active and I spent some time there get photos as the rest of the family was telling me it was time to move on.

All of these photos have been added to my Cleveland Metroparks Zoo Photo Album. You can also check out my other Zoo Photos on the Blog.
