SmugMug > popular > Portfolio > 2008.08.23 (Sat) - Lazy day, slept in, watched some TV and read for a bit.  Got caught up on the dailies.  Wow, there are so many talented photogaphers in this community!  Anyone know where I can find the tutorial for making the "small worlds"?  

Took a nap, then Bri came over.  Ran B and Bri to the movies, then later we dropped them off at Strikes so they could go bowling.  On the way back the sun was going down and we decided to go shoot the new Justice Center in Roseville.  Of the shots I took, this was my favorite.

Until tomorrow,

Darron

Peek-a-boo grandpa . . .





Check the EXIF on this shot.  I had the camera in the rarely used "auto ISO" mode.   EXIF says shot was at ISO 2200.  I liked my old Nikon D70 but anything over ISO 800 was a mess.  I sure love my D300!  Shot is a little soft but probably a bit of subject movement.  Also noticed that the date in my camera was two days off.  Now it's corrected.

My first "faux planet".  Inspired by Amy, John, Kubben & other daily shooters.  

This shot is the "arches" shot from a few days ago.

It broke all the rules for selecting a shot to do a PS "polar coordinates" faux planet.  And the "seam" gave me some troubles.  But I kind-of like the results.  

A MC Escher "planet within a planet" sort of look.
SmugMug > popular > Portfolio > Every summer I spend a lot of time up north in a small community called Bay View. We have a cottage on the water front. This girl, who has been my friend since I was a toddler, owns the cottage next door. This is her and her dog Lucky after we had gone for a polar bear swim. This is a swim down at our dock in the morning that tends to be very chilly. We are sitting on her porch drinking coffee waiting for the world to wake.
SmugMug > popular > Portfolio > 2008.07.24 (Fri) - I was bad, I said I would bike in but I drove into work.  I don't know how many times I had to tell the Jury Duty story but the other two developers on my team were as tired of hearing it as I was telling it!  I ended up working a long day, I brought dinner home for B.  (3 guesses what and the 1st two guesses don't count)

After dinner B and I took off with the camera and went to watch the beavers.  We sat around for nearly an hour and caught some good shots.  There were at least 4 beavers hanging around and eating.  A couple of them came as close at 10 feet.  We think they are like the T-Rex in Jurassic Park, if you don't move, they can't see you!  Heh..

Well, this was one of the better shots that I took.  B took a few good ones as well, I'll post 'em later.  Robin called at 9:18 to say she was on her way home, she got a little upset that we went and saw the beavers without her.   She has the weekend off so we'll take her tomorrow now that we know the secret to beaver spying...

Until tomorrow,

Darron
