Storm Chasers

Last night a really good thunder storm came through Oklahoma. So I decided that I'd try to photograph the lightning. After the storm moved past where we live, my wife and I decided to go chase it to see if we could get some more lightning shots. While in the car Bethany learned about long exposure photography while she was taking pictures while I was driving.

These are the images that captured the Thunder storm, and some of Bethany's photos from when she was playing with the long exposure. Click on the photos to see a larger copy of it.

Opryland Hotel

On our 1600 mile journey from Miami to Oklahoma City, we made a few stops along the way. We mainly stopped to see family and friends. However, we did stop at a destination spot in Nashville Tennessee… The Opryland Hotel! This hotel is by far the most extravagant hotel I have ever seen. I will note that we just spend the day there. We did not stay the night. The inside of this hotel was like a botanical garden that was separated into 3 areas, and each area  seemed to be the size of a pro football stadium. It even had a river that ran through the different sections with water falls. It also had plenty of shops and restaurants for people to look at and eat in. For more information go to www.gaylordhotels.com. This is a beautiful hotel, and I recommend that if you get the chance to walk around in it.

Here are some of the photographs that I took while we were there. Please take a look and let me know what you think about the pictures. Note that these photographs don't do the Opryland Hotel justice.
