Positively Peden Photography

These geese went by while we were sitting on a bench drinking our coffee. I tried to throw a piece of cookie to get them to come closer, but as soon as I threw it, a ton of seagulls all flocked over to us. We freaked out because we thought they were going to poop on us. Lol

This statue was down by the waterfront. I saw it when we were walking up to the coffeehouse for a warm drink. It was really cold that day. This statue is a memorial for the Confederate soldiers. I’m not sure who it is that’s on the top of it. I think it is Robert E. Lee, but I’m not positive about that.

I know there’s a lot of sunset pictures, but I really do love how they look. Especially with something in front of it, that comes out as a silhouette.

Since I haven’t really had an opportunity to get any more pictures taken, this week is going to just feature pictures I took in Edenton. =)

This is the Roanoke River Lighthouse we went to the top of. I thought it looked so pretty in the sunset. This picture was taken with my Fujifilm.

Photo Forum has a contest every month, and this month the subject is “Birds”, so I posted this picture as an entry. Voting starts on the 21st and the winner is announced on the 28th. The prize is a Nova 200 AW Camera Bag. Which I don’t really need, but it would be awesome to win! The winner also gets a “Contest Winner” badge next to their name on the forums. Wish me luck y’all! <3

My mom took this picture today and I thought it was the cutest thing, so I had to put it up here. I swear, these two ducks followed us all over the pier just so we could take their picture. We didn’t even feed them until a few minutes before we left. Haha they were adorable.

She took this picture with her Sony a330.

This is another picture from Monday, since I haven’t taken any more pictures… I loved the look of this sailboat with the sun behind it. It kinda looks like the sun is coming out of the top of the sail pole thingy. =)

Today was a lot of fun. My mom picked me up and we went out to Edenton Waterfront to see what kind of sunset pictures we could come up with. There were two ducks that kept following us around the piers wanting us to take their pictures. Hehe. We ended up giving them some of my chocolate chip cookie after a while cause they were so cute. We took tons of pics around the piers and I took a lot of pictures of the Roanoke River Lighthouse that is in the park on the waterfront right now. They plan on renovating it in the next few months, and a guy was there looking at it while we were leaving. He saw us taking pictures, and let us come up to the top of the lighthouse and take pictures of the sunset! It was so cool. It was built in the late 1800’s and the state is providing $1.2 million for its restoration in the spring… Here’s a link to a webpage telling its history. It’s really interesting, and worth reading if you’re interested. =)

Anyway, there are a TON of pics in the February gallery, so go check them all out. My fave of the sunset was this panoramic. I started taking pics with my Minolta, but it was eating up all my batteries so I switched to my Fujifilm. The few pictures I took with the Minolta are tagged “Minolta” and all the Fuji ones are tagged “Fujifilm” (obviously…)

Today, my mom and I took our cameras out towards Camp Cale to take some pictures of the sunset. My mom is getting into photography too since she got a Sony a330 for her birthday last week. Then we went out to Elizabeth City to Walmart, and on the way found some more pretty spots to take pictures at of the sunset, so there’s a lot of pictures. All of them are in my February 2010 album. I took all the pictures today on the Minolta. There’s some pictures of the pink sunset with purple clouds that look like someone took a paintbrush and just swiped at the sky with purple paint. =)

I really love this picture. I like how you can barely see the wind chime because the camera focused on the branch, and the bokeh effect in the picture…. You can really see the depth to the picture. It’s not what everyone would think of as a great picture, but I really like it. It’s always the odd and unique pictures that I like the best. =)
