or, “I should really think about cleaning my windows…” The the afternoon light bounces around in fabulous ways here at the Grigsby. The shaft of light is a reflection of the sun, bouncing off of a decorative glass railing on the second floor landing across from the courtyard. Since I started shooting, I’ve become much …

Hipstamatic Disposable update 7 – the Unicorn MG camera
Well this camera was a waste of 99 cents. Jeez. In one or two of the shots, I cranked down the effect, but I’ll dare you to find which one. Yuck. Oh. Wait. I found them… Shots 16-20, second-to-the-last row on the bottom, and the last image in the third row up… the flower shots …

365.29 Tacoma
365.29 Tacoma (for lack of a better title… I’m feeling really out of it today… I guess I could call it ‘the Arrival’ or somesuch, or ‘Nessie’ in reference to the shadow and its similarity to the blurry photos of that lake monster, but I’m pretty much a big meh today. Meh.) Nikkor 50mm 1.8G, …
365.28 Supernova
And this is the fastest 365 shoot yet… 7 shots of the inside of the CerealBoxStripBox and this was number 7, straight out of the camera (or as straight out of the camera as it can be, given that I shoot RAW and downsized this from 4928×3264 to 800×530…) I think this captures the light …

365.26 playing with a magnifying glass and bounce flash
ISO1250 (I was trying to shoot in the dark, then added the SB700 but forgot to change the ISO :facepalm:. Luckily, the D7000 keeps its noise down fairly well, and sending to the interwebs at 800px wide doesn’t hurt either.) 1/60th, f/5.6, flash in TTL mode and bounced off the ceiling, so I bet it …

365.25 – The Cereal Box Strip Box
365.25 Candy & Cigarettes: Monumental Sculpture from the Cockroft Collection. (Yes, it’s a silly title, and yes, I could’ve done a better job with it…) Nikon 75-150mm f/3.5 E Series, at about 150mm, ISO100, 1/80, f/16, and lit with my new toy: the Cereal Box Strip Box! All credit for the idea goes to Alex Koloskov, and …
