jpellow > February 6, 2008 Star ornament. I sometimes forget that an object doesn't have to be remarkable in and of itself to be special to us.
jpellow > March 20, 2008 Part 2 Tension Blocks. I didn't shoot any worthy photos today, but I did spend some more time on yesterday's shot in Photoshop, so I decided to post the results in lieu of a DP for today. Thanks to Brian Hart for some suggestions yesterday. I used the duotone method he described to create this sepia version of the black and white I originally posted. As with so many Photoshop techniques, now that I've learned how to do it, I wish I understood so much more about what I'm doing and how it works... but even if it takes a lot of trial and error and experimentation, it's still one more technique in the repertoire.
jpellow > June 21, 2009 Unidentified moth/butterfly. I went for a walk along the canal today. Didn't see the heron or anything else really interesting, but there were plenty of insects crawling around in the foliage. Here's another one. The Tamron 18-270 focuses closely enough that Tamron puts "macro" in its name. By any serious photographer's definition, I don't think it qualifies as a true macro; nevertheless, this is closer than I've ever been able to shoot small subjects before, so until I'm able to afford all the lenses I wish I could buy, this will have to do.
jpellow > January 3, 2009 Still life with flowers and candle. We have these flowers and candles left over from our New Year's Eve soiree. I love the color and contrast in the flowers.
jpellow > March 9, 2008 Water glasses. I went out with some friends after work yesterday for a burger and a glass of wine. I brought the camera along. I kept playing with the assorted objects on the table looking for interesting shots, but the first one I took ended up being the best.
jpellow > February 26, 2008 Cup of tea. I've been feeling under the weather today. This is all I've got...
jpellow > June 19, 2009 Glass shards. These used to comprise a drinking glass, which met its demise when I knocked it off the edge of my desk and it smashed on the lid of a file box on the floor next to me. Fortunately it was empty at the time. Also fortunately, I thought to keep the larger pieces until I had a chance to make a daily photo out of them.
jpellow > April 23, 2008 Wooded wetland. I took this in the early evening at the edge of a bit of wetland along the D&R Canal. I sat for close to an hour on a fallen tree trunk, watching and listening to the small handful of animals that happened by. It was mostly squirrels and ducks, a few other birds (the most interesting was a woodpecker), and a couple of deer foraging on the drier ground. I might post a couple other shots in another gallery if I get to it - I'll add a note here if I do.
jpellow > February 20, 2008 Lunar eclipse. I was at the theatre for a show last night (watching, not working for once), and I walked out of the building about ten minutes before the moon slipped completely into shadow. I had put my camera and tripod in the car hoping the clouds would clear before the end of the show (they did), so I drove to a dark field and started shooting--only to have my battery die after a dozen pictures! I think sitting in the cold car had done it in. My other battery was at home in the charger, which is actually fortunate since at least it was warm, so I packed up and went to get it. I got back to the field just at the end of the total phase, and stayed for about an hour as the moon came out of our shadow and the dark world around me got lighter and lighter. I finally got cold and impatient with about twenty minutes to go; I'm kicking myself now for not waiting it out and taking a shot of the full moon to complete this series. These photos were taken between 22:16 (during the period of total eclipse) and 23:50 EST. My 75-300mm lens doesn't give me a very big image, and my 6.3 megapixels don't let me enlarge it enough to make a really nice, detailed portrait of the moon, but I'm quite pleased with this series of smaller images. The huge difference in brightness between the lit region and shadowed region makes it hard to capture both in one image. Early on, I was setting my exposure somewhere in between and the brighter region was consistently overexposed. The more I shot, the wider I started bracketing my exposure times, and I got some decent shots of the lit area.
