Final Portfolio for Photography Class.

Hello Everyone & Welcome to my blog to those of you who have never been here before. Some of these photos have been watermarked by me because in the past I've had people share my pictures without giving me credit, also because most of my pictures land on Google due to my social medias not being private.

Anyways, these are my favorite photos from this semester along with a handful that I threw in that were taken a few months or so before class started.

This class helped me learn how to take pictures of things other than weather. I wanted to learn how to broaden my knowledge of how to shoot other subjects. I had a lot of fun with this class and I'm a little sad that it's over.

I love the way this picture turned out. The sun lighting was perfect so it made shooting in manual mode so much easier to decide which ISO was best.

This is a lamp that I have had for a long time and I wondered if I could make it look like separate stones.

This is also something that I've never tried before.

 This is the final update.

6:58 pm update


NWS WPC giving North Central Kentucky a 70% chance for greater than 1 inch of snowfall tonight.




Phase 1 has begun, we are currently seeing a cold rain as of 4:30 pm est.


Rain will transition to snow tonight from west to east. Below freezing temperatures with wind chills in the teens on Tuesday morning. Minor accumulations of around an inch to two inches in some areas mainly on grassy and elevated areas. With the freezing temperatures on roadways there could be a few slick spots out there.

Winter Weather Advisory

"Slick Spots Expected Tonight and Tomorrow Morning...

.A strong cold front will push through the region this afternoon ushering in much colder temperatures by this evening. Ongoing rain will change over to snow this evening from north to south with southern Indiana seeing the changeover by sunset and then much of northern Kentucky seeing the changeover this evening.

While temperatures will sharply fall this evening, the warm ground temperatures will lag behind by several hours. The snow this evening may fall heavy enough at times to cover road surfaces temporarily. However, much of the accumulation will mainly be found on elevated and grassy surfaces. As the precipitation ends after midnight, residual moisture on the roadways may refreeze. Overpasses and bridges will be the first to see impacts since they have much more exposure to the cold air. The refreezing on the roadways may be offset due to strong northwesterly winds that will be seen behind the front. Northwest winds of 10-15 MPH with gusts to 25-30 MPH will be possible and will help dry off the roads. However, in areas that are sheltered from the wind, icy spots may be found late tonight and Tuesday morning.

* WHAT...Snow expected. Total snow accumulations of around an inch.

* WHERE...Portions of south central Indiana and north central Kentucky.

* WHEN...From 6 PM EST /5 PM CST/ this evening to 8 AM EST /7 AM CST/ Tuesday.

* IMPACTS...Plan on slippery road conditions. The hazardous conditions could impact the Tuesday morning commute.

Slow down and use caution while traveling.

Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio and your local media for the latest updates."

The transition should begin at around 8/9 pm est.
