February 2 is a friend’s birthday. I told him I would toast him with some good vodka. So while sipping my vodka I thought it would make a nice shot. After posting last night about how much less shots I was taking, this one took 19 shots. Part of that is because of the fact [more]
Tonight was the start of the 2nd month of the 366 project. I can already see a difference in my approach. I have started taking less pictures for the picture of the day (PoD). When I started taking PoDs I would take 16 shots hoping to get the one I saw in my head. Or [more]
My wife suggested I try a shot of the Galileo Thermometer we have. I thought it would be a good challenge and something unique to try. I knew a few things, I wanted to have a sharper light to keep the background out of the image. I wanted to try and get some roundness into [more]
I attempted to capture the lines that I saw going on here, but it was not as strong as seeing it in person. I think it was a combination of too shallow of a depth of field so the lines in the floor don’t read coupled with the lack of shadow on the red cover. [more]
This image was to compliment the red wine shot I took previously. I also wanted to see if I could recreate the shot I took. The bounce of the light is a little different however the overall image is fairly close. Basic Date Modified 2012-01-30 21:33:44 Date Taken 2012-01-30 18:42:37 Camera Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL [more]
A closeup of a piece of kinetic sculpture in my house. I got the focus point off a little from where I wanted it. I was trying to get it onto the darker piece of wood on the front of the piece. I did purposely not overly diffuse the lighting as I wanted shadows to [more]
A little fun trying to create an optical illusion. A picture of stairs that connect the main floor to the basement. Are they going up or are they going down?

The reflection of the arm in the washer caught my eye. The image does not have the reflectiveness I was hoping to capture. I am going to have to think about how to improve it.

Capturing the glamour of travel is not easy. This is my attempt at showing how I spent my night while traveling for business. Still not quite the look I am going for. Needed more light I think. Basic Date Modified 2012-01-30 21:33:41 Date Taken 2012-01-26 22:03:38 Camera Canon PowerShot SD950 IS Exposure Time 0.01s (1/100) [more]
I wanted to catch a still life of what my life some times turns into another hotel room, and trying to eat healthy on the road. I can say that the Cookie did not get eaten by me. I wanted to get some depth to the bag so I left the flash bounced but undiffused [more]
