And this was the most frustrating one yet… 68 shots (all virtually identical, unless you’re me and after something relatively specific) in, I knocked over the cheap old tripod that was holding the snooted SB700 and Cactus V5 trigger onto the fancy tile in the kitchen. Bye Bye Cactus trigger; Hello D7000 Commander Mode, with …

365.50 Point of Impact, part 5: Small Craft on Milky Sea
And once again, this took a long time… And once again, I’m too tired to say anything about this shot… D7000, Nikon 75-150 f/3.5 Series E at 150mm (~225 equivalent), ISO100, 1/250th, f/22, SB-700 at 1/2 power, fired into the CerealBoxStripBox(tm) with its diffuser in place, triggered with Cactus v5 system. And, once again, the …

365.49 Point of Impact, part 5: Shearing Forces
I was wondering when I was going to resort to macro… D7000, Lens Baby Muse (plastic), with +10 Macro lens, ISO400, 1/50th, f/5.6. I lit it with the usual Macro combo: Desk Lamp, Mini MagLite, and single-bulb bicycle lamp. Normally, I have something more to say, but not today: too tired. Oh well.
365.48 Point of Impact – part 2 – Ist es nicht sehr schön?
And this one really was fun! And it went quickly too! I did tear half the apartment apart to get the camera in a position to shoot it, but that’s my own fault for not yet having a proper shooting platform set up: soon, probably not this month due to work-related time constraints, but soon. …

365.47 Point of Impact, part 2: Dizzy
Well, this was a fun one… D7000, Nikkor 10-24mm f/3.5 – 4.5 at 10mm (15mm equivalent), ISO100, 1/60th, f/6.3; SB-700 with its Florescent filter thing, at 1/4 power, camera left, triggered with Cactus v5 trigger. I don’t do much with the 10-24 unless I’m shooting real estate, and this photo shows it! Wow. I need …
365.46 Point of Impact (1)
This is the passenger side door handle from my beloved (and no-longer-extant) 1970 Volkswagon Beetle—a plain Beetle, none of that ‘super’ stuff—that was destroyed by a nice woman in a 1984 Ford Bronco in 1998 or 1999. I’m not really sure of the date any more… I think the police must have brought me the …
Obey Dallas – continued, ammended
Apparently, there was some interwebs chatter regarding Shepard Fairey and his status as a sellout following his recent DJ appearance and muraling in Dallas. I don’t think I contributed to this chatter, as I don’t think my website gets much traffic,* but I would like to correct a few of my own errors, just to be …
