PictureThe Riverwalk pre-geese.
The other week the weather was nice and I wanted to try out a new wide-angle Tamron lens I had purchased, so I invited my friend Tim down to the Derby Riverwalk. The Derby Riverwalk is a park at the confluence of the Housatonic and Naugatuck Rivers in Derby, Connecticut. For those who know me, they know that I am already a big fan of my hometown to begin with, but this is one of my favorite parts of my city. Anyway, Tim showed up with some pizza and decided to feed the mob of Canadian geese that were hanging out there. It made me a little nervous since I was walking around in sandals and so my toes were prime targets for a goose beak. 

Anyway, I grabbed a few photos of him feeding the geese and then I noticed that the sunset was quite colorful so I strolled underneath the Commodore Hull Rt. 8 bridge to go see if I could get a better view of it. Luckily I could.

Please note that the photos have been edited, but only to match the way it looked in person. I basically just darkened the sky and lightened the foreground to reduce some of the contrast that comes about when taking photos of sunsets. Please enjoy and feel free to comment on the post.

So I've been toying around with a photography logo for some time now. I needed one to be able to put on photo release forms, as well as watermarks on my photos. I've been mulling it over and decided to work on a design I came up with many years ago in grade school. It was very simple. Just the letter K with an H drawn attached to the inside right leg. I took that and put the H on the outside of the leg and added my name to it. Initially I made a basic one on illustrator to picture what it'd look like put together. 
From there I went back and screwed around with a few fonts to find a combination I would like. I ended up going with three different Celtic/Gaelic fonts, since I've always been partial to them to begin with. The 'K' and 'H' are one font, the 'enri' is another, and 'photography' is the final font. So now I have the logo that is at the top of this post. I will likely return to it in the future and change the font again, but for now I at least have a watermark I can use on my photos instead of a simple "K Henri" text.

The downside to this website is that with the free account, I cannot customize the pre-made formats as much, so I cannot upload my logo to the header without subscribing to a paid version.
