This is one of the three Squirrels that I see frequently.  He was content with me standing approximately 20 feet away and I got 3 nice shots off and then I started to move a little closer.  Before I completed my first slow, cautious step he was gone.  Until the next time...

DailyPhotos > popular today > July 24:  Light experiment
I took a walk yesterday at lunch, I found some interesting subjects.  But due to the really flat light of the overcast day and my low choice of ISO, the pictures did not come out as I would have hoped.  So there I sat last night again wondering what to do.  My wife suggested this geode and I gave it a whirl.  I shot using my little white box lit with 2 led flashlights.  A white one from the left is the predominant lighting and a small amount from a blue led light I bought tonight on the right.  This shot has very little blue, I just liked the lighting in the center better.  I added a slight contrast curve to the shot and my copyright.  Happy Friday folks!  Spent most of the evening losing the battle to my printer :)  Tonight is another night!

DailyPhotos > popular today > 07-25-08 I tried for a more detailed shot of our cat last night.  Not as sharp as I would like and the lighting could be better, but at least the eyes are in better focus this time!

As a few people have inquired…I use a Sony A100 with a standard kit lens or my trusty Sony F717 for all of my shots.  This one was with my A100 set at 60mm, F/5.6, 1/15 second, and an ISO of 400.
