A Major Change For TOCC TV

Buzz Aldrin – Lost In Space
In this shot, without saying a word, Buzz the most famous photographer of all having documented Niel Armstrong’s first steps on the moon, was saying to me, “use the flash dumb-ass.”
I Am Here !!!
This is another of several lucky, and unexpected shots that I have gotten of hawks while out doing nature photography. Even though there’s a dirty little rodent that’s fixing to be the main course, you gotta love and respect the poetic beautify of nature.
Sweet Home Alabama – Lynyrd Skynyrd
After I pulled up the photo of Jeff Cook of the Alabama band last week, I took a second look at the photo set I have of Lynard Skynard hoping to find a shot suitable for a future TOCC TV cover. Alas, the band is worthy but my photography is not. Well, reall it is, but putting a horizontal aspect ratio onto a verticle cover just isn’t going to fit.
Blue Herons
I felt this to be a remarkable shot for several reasons. The rarity, getting three in one frame, the distance away, and the distance off the ground up in the trees. It was well after dark, shooting max f-stop and zoom at a max 300mm for a 2 second exposure at 800 iso, on a monopod steadied against a nearby fence. After the fact, I found I actually over exposed a little bit, but all in all I can’t complain too much about the clarity and sharpness of the focus.

My Day At The Circus
So, I decided to go to the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus elephant walk last week … I wanted to get some new shots while the elephants are still around! … the Circus has decided … to phase out the elephants in the show by 2018.
Neil Armstrong – Leaving The Era Behind
It was just a few days ago, August 25th, that marked one year since the passing of astronaut Neil Armstrong, first man to step foot on the moon. It still seems hard to believe. Not so much the passing of Neil Armstrong, but that the era he represents – probably better than even John F. […]
Digital Revolution | Life Is Good, Then Again Maybe Not
Little did I know my precedent would once again place TOCC TV on the leading edge of the Digital Revolution. Because, much to my amusement and leaving even me a bit chagrined,

About Photography
I put this graphic together as the cover of an Internet portfolio of photographs back in 1999. So, I never have claimed to be a graphic artist, but I thought the result was pretty good considering I didn’t even have a program with layers to work with. Alas, the elements are all gone, although I might redo it anyway.
Eric Rudoph In Huntsville
Going back into the morgue I decided to pull out these already published photographs of Eric Rudolph from 2005 when he appeared at the Huntsville federal courthouse for pre-trial hearings.
