Quiet Afternoon on the Lake with a Dagger Kayak
The photo of the day today comes from a local lake, but the title caption isn’t exactly accurate. It was a nice quiet few minutes on the lake until this public lake patrol told us we could only take our kayak (our Dagger Axis) out on the water if we were going to fish from […]

Local Paintings and Artwork of Auburn via iPhone at Publix
The photo of the day today is paintings by a local artist (although I have yet to figure out who) and was actually taken with my iPhone. I am finding more and more true photography opportunities with my iPhone camera than I every would have thought possible by a phone camera. This shot was taken […]

The Overlook of Creede Colorado Valley in the Fall
The photo of the day today comes from an overlook of a tiny old mining town called Creede Colorado, which sits in a beautiful valley surrounded by 10,000 foot mountain peaks. The air is crisp, clean, and extremely quiet, and from this vantage point the town looks a little like a toy train center piece […]

The New Auburn Arena Opens for Basketball Soon
Photo of the day today is the entrance to the new Auburn Arena, scheduled for it’s first grand opening on October 15th. Basketball season is just around the corner, can’t wait. We have been looking forward to the new Auburn Arena opening for years now and we are just getting our first look at the […]

It’s Game Day for Auburn vs South Carolina
Today’s photo of the day comes from the Auburn vs South Carolina game. Another great game in the books, and a sea of orange were glad to see a W.

Auburn Tigers Football vs South Carolina Game 3 :: Photos
Auburn vs South Carolina lived up to it’s hype, it was a great game, hard fought until the end, and Auburn came away with a strong win against a very good Gamecocks team. The game was almost an hour later than last week, and being on ESPN lasted almost 4 hours but it was great […]

Black and White Portrait and the Grain of Film
After flipping through a few photos I took from a few years ago I came across this one. Sometimes I really love the look of the old film grain. I basically just took the negative scan here and didn’t do anything to it, this is basically right out of the camera.

Testing the Dagger Axis 10.5 Kayak at Chewacla
Last night we went out to Chewacla State Park for a very quick trial run to test out the Dagger Axis 10.5 Kayak. This boat is much smaller than our previous kayaks but is very stable, easy to maneuver, and tracks quite well. We got to Chewacla too late to give it a real good […]

Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn Alabama in Black and White
Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn Alabama just hours before the kickoff of the Auburn vs Clemson football game. Temps were almost 100 degrees in full sun, no breeze. You can see the flag in the lower left, it felt like the concrete should be sweating.

Photo of the Day for a Year Coming Up, I Think
For a long time I have wanted to take a photo of the day every single day for one year. I am going to start that on my Tumblr blog (over at http://scottfillmer.tumblr.com ) starting at the end of November, but this is the start of that transformation. For now I will post a single […]

ESPN College Gameday Photos of Auburn vs Clemson 2010
Yesterday was one of those games that you just feel lucky to have come out alive and with a win. What a crazy, hot, muggy, long, day/game that was. ESPN Gameday was in town again and I ran down with my nephew to take some shots while the broadcast was going on. The ESPN Gameday […]

Dagger Kayaks on the Apostle Islands and Columbia River
My wife and I in days past were quite active paddlers. We spent about 5 or so years kayaking all around the country in between conventions (our work), and because we were always traveling we were able to kayak in some really neat places. Just to name a few, we went out to the caves […]

HDR Photos on the iPhone iOS 4.1 Camera :: Review
One of the best updates to iOS 4.1, to me, was the ability to automatically take and merge HDR photos right on the iPhone. For those unfamiliar with HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography, this is a relatively new area in photography that takes multiple images, which are beyond the tonal stop range of most digital […]

Photo of the Cross at Ground Zero Not Soon Forgotten
We were in Philadelphia Pennsylvania that day, but not long after we happen to be in New York and I snapped this shot of the cross in the steel beams still standing at ground zero. At this point they had the streets cleared and fabric fencing around almost everything, but through a few holes in […]

Waterfall on Society Hill Road in Lee County
A little local flavor for Friday. I drive by this waterfall all the time and have never in all my years of looking at it stopped to take a photo. There are a few small waterfalls in Lee County and this is one of them, privately owned of course, but still quite beautiful and visible […]
