This is the convergence of those two things.<\/p>\n<p>This lone chimney sits on a little parcel of land south of Bismarck and is for sale if you&#8217;re interested. I&#8217;ve driven past it several times, even taken a few photos, but none of them really thrilled me. Today I think I got a slightly more interesting photo. I like the starker shadows of the fall sun, the golden grass and leaves, topped off by the dark blue skies (thanks to a polarizer filter on the lens).<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;volume&#8221; I joke about is that sometimes I&#8217;ll get several really cool shots, and just hang on to them for a while. For instance, I have lots of Fallen Farms photos (and haven&#8217;t posted any in a while&#8230;hm&#8230;) and fall foliage. I like to share them, but sometimes I just pace myself because I&#8217;m too busy being a daddy and a freelance video guy to get out with the camera on a regular basis.<\/p>\n<p>Bismarck has so many places like this. Sometimes they&#8217;re better than others, and it is a matter of being there at just the right moment. These days I&#8217;m so busy I can&#8217;t begin to explain, but I take tiny moments here and there to work in a photo where I can. It may be on the way to work or back home, in between errands, or I might get up early or stay up late. But when you&#8217;ve got the photo bug, you make time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I get asked a lot how in the world I can post so many photos and babble so much.
