![Rain Bath [Best Shot]](http://www.jonathannation.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/2011-03-05rain-bath700xy-642x250.png)
This day I was at a house, with some time & my camera. I was raining, at some points hard and other times slight.
Walking around different points I was able to play with capturing water falling, splashing, and generally moving.
It was a fun time, with some cool shots.
:Update:
Here are more shots from that day:
![Around A Fence [Best Shot]](http://www.jonathannation.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/AroundAFence2011-03-02-642x250.png)
This was a great day, where I went to a park, did a couple mile walk, listened to some great audio & took a bunch of pictures.
At one point, I walked into a field that had a fence in the middle of it. A thought ran through my head that I was sure I could get a some good shots of this fence.
As I approach it, I take shots. When I get to it, I spend some time playing with my camera. Manually adjusting the focal points, and other techniques.
Here is a slideshow of the rest:
![Prep for Landing [Best Shot]](http://www.jonathannation.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/2011-03-01prep4landing-642x250.png)
This was a wonderful day, where I had a couple mile walk in a park near a small airport.
At one point I was in the standard landing path and probably should have waited a little while longer for more birds to fly overhead, but it was great.
![Meet The Neighbors [Best Shot]](http://www.jonathannation.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/2011-02-27meet-the-neighbors-642x250.png)
The little neighborhood we live in has several children who were all excited the first time we had a sunny day and could go out walking with our girls.
![Into The Sun [Best Shot]](http://www.jonathannation.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/2011-02-24into-the-sun-608x250.png)
This is the first real painting that I remember ever doing. As a part of a small group of people interested in arts, we decided to sit around and paint one day.
This was the image that I could not get out of my head. I love sailing, and post on sailing related stuff many times.
I can see issues in it, both in the techniques I used and the proportions of some stuff, but here are things I am happy with:
Going into this night, my wife encouraged me to go more abstract. I am glad I did not try to be more detailed, especially since we put a time limit and I could not paint, wait a few days, then go paint more over it.
During the night I also learned more about painting and some ideas of how I could do a better job next time.
