More fun with light tonight.  My friend Charles gave me this mug when we visited his house in May. He shaped and fired the mug himself. I knew that it would make a fine subject for when I finally learned to photograph glass. Tonight, I started practicing the theory. Glass is all about shape, and shape is on the edges. To make them stand out, they need to be either really dark or really bright. In this shot, my flash is sitting to the left of the mug, at the 10 o’clock position. A gold reflector is at the 2 o’clock position to the right of the mug, oriented to angle the light similarly to that of the flash.

The hardest part of this shot was managing the dust. I’ve got a big spec still there that I should take the healing brush to. Just too tired tonight.

Don't panic, I wasn't driving when I took this.....

Today has been another hot one, not a good time to be spending most of the day in the car. Climate control is fine, but it isn't really effective when you're stop starting, and getting in and out of the car all the time. This was taken on my home for something to eat about 6pm, before having to set off again to pick up a colleague for a business meeting in Doncaster 50 miles away. The meeting was successful, but we didn't get back until about 11pm, and I'd been volunteered to give a presentation at the next meeting. It's amazing what you agree to when you're knackered :)

I've managed to sort out some more of the shots from last evening. Three are here;  http://johnloguk.smugmug.com/gallery/4328734_9ZqLR#337827093_hnFvR

Day 118 - river walk

we went to Pine River Park today so the kids could play around in the water.  I just remembered about this park the other day.  we used to go here when I was a kid.  love this place.  it's really a beautiful park and lots of fun too.  the girls had nets and were catching little fish.  it started out really cold, but by afternoon I was so hot!  my jeans ended up getting soaked because I walked out to the middle of the river to help them catch the fish.  yes, I wear my flip flops, those rocks hurt!

In the pink!

Callie's upturned little nose from a couple of days ago. She was upside down on a desk at the time, apparently enjoying a moment of contentment.

Thank you to everyone for yesterday's comments about my mom's picture and her upcoming surgery tomorrow. The comfort you've given us both is immeasurable.
