This is the personal blog of Walt White. I am a Drafter/Designer living in Berks County, PA. I've got a fondness for Cigars, Photography, and Firearms. Take a look around and you may find something interesting regardless of how different your hobbies may be from my own.
Two weeks ago, I published a post talking about a rather stressful day that I went through and asked how you handled stress laden days. After getting some sleep, I woke up the following day still feeling a little on edge. Instead of starting off the day like I usually do, I decided to catch [...]
While in Gettysburg on Saturday, I snapped several photos during the speech. I learned just how difficult it is to take photos during an event while trying not to distract the speaker with my flash and slow lens. After a little editing I came out with twenty-four photos that I was happy with. Do you [...]
Over the past couple of weeks I have been trying to put my Nikon D40 to good use. Being that most of my free time is spend around cigars, they are the easiest items to photograph. I wanted to give you a little visual update on how things are coming along and share with you [...]
The other day I was bitten by the photo bug and wanted to create something that said a little something about me. After giving it some thought, I figured what better way to play with my camera and tell about myself than to capture three of my favorite hobbies. In the photo above, my three [...]
A little ways back I made mention that I was looking forward to getting back out to the Daniel Boone Homestead, to see how my camera handled outdoors. Due to a string of cold and wet weekends, the trip was postponed on more than one occasion. A couple of weeks ago I finally got the [...]

I wanted to make sure that I took a couple shots of each of my nieces and nephews. I figured that this would result in [...]
A week or so ago, I was pacing around the house trying to kill some time. I had a couple of things to take care of later in the afternoon and I had no interest in using television to pass the time. Instead I grabbed my camera and began stalking my prey. My unsuspecting wife [...]
Ever since I received my camera, I have been ready to put it to use. Ever since the battery fiasco was taken care of, I’ve been trying to snap a few pictures every night. Some turn out while others quickly get deleted. Its been loads of fun so far. I’ve been taking photos of cigars [...]
As you probably know by now, I have a new Nikon D40 and have been waiting for warmer weather in order to get out and snap some photos. Not wanting to venture out in the frigid temperatures, I’ve been snapping photos here and there inside my house (which has been nothing spectacular). While getting ready [...]
As I made my way to work on Monday morning, to my surprise there was a light snow falling. This caught me off guard because I didn’t remember the forecast calling for snow until much later in the morning. When I am expecting snow, I like to leave a few minutes early so that I [...]
