Hey thanks! I saw the opportunity of the lighting coming through the trees and took 20+ photos at various angles/settings to achieve the shot that I wanted. Plus the setting of the smoke barrel with the right distance and wind direction etc... Lots of fun :) No post photo manipulation needed with it, blah blah hah.

Re: Photo of the Day

I mentioned in another thread the random odd things around here that I had taken some pics on one of my walks last fall so thought I would share. These were all taken in the same neighborhood pretty much. Pics are shit quality (iphone) so I'll include an explanation. And then go buy a better camera so I can get better photos.



Topiary - this is just one little vignette, the yard was filled with frolicking animal topiaries. Look closely at the thing with the flag, its a teddy bear with yellow flower eyes. Next to him is a basket of flowers:



A giant Pillsbury dough boy in the window. This house sadly is for sale so bye bye doughboy :(:



The front of an airplane in a glass case in somebody's back yard, apparently it is a Concorde nose:


A large pig grazing in the front yard of a large home:

Indeed. I love going out on excursions with my camera.

I think I may take a couple photography classes in the fall, as I have never taken a class or had instruction on shooting.

Re: Photo of the Day

hell yeah, now that would be interesting. i think you could do an entire series of photos revolving around the theme of "how to do 10,000 days". i'd imagine it might include someone putting the album into a sort of audio device before hitting the start button ...performing various rituals, sitting or lying down, at a show, during sex, going to work, dancing with others or alone, headphones on or speakers up, active or passive listening! the ideas are endless really. that's what i love about photography; using a camera to express something.

I don't believe I posted these. Took some pics at a park earlier this year with my transition DSLR. Started to fall in love with taking close-ups.

Re: Photo of the Day

ISO 200 f/2.8 @ 30 seconds

I'm still in Florida, program is another 2 years. Went home for a break in October and got pretty lucky.

You can see the big dipper in this one! (ISO 400 f/2.8 @ 25 seconds)
