365.342 the same river twice

A couple of weeks ago, A Lesser Photographer (aka CJ Chilvers) posted the following to his excellent blog (back when he ran alesserphotographer… now it’s only cjchilvers: own your writing and your photography): Longevity in photos has become inversely proportional to the lack of longevity in the subject. Apparently, this drew the ire of some readers, and so …

365.341 almost Koonsian, maybe

When I loaded this into the computer, my first thought was “That looks like a Jeff Koons painting!” I’m somewhat less sure about that now, but it does look painted, does it not? Well, it wasn’t. D7000. Vivitar 70-210mm f/3.5 Series 1 (Kiron, maybe), in Macro mode. ISO100, 1/10th, f/3.5. Pop-up set in Commander mode, …

Exactly one had a reasonable composition. Given this was shot by prefocusing on the …

365.337 yesterday’s was better, methinks

Well, I intended to make another ghostwalker attempt this morning, but I got a late start (by ~2 minutes or less), so I decided to try this again. I don’t know about you, but I think yesterday’s attempt was better. It’s not that I don’t like this one, and it’s closer to my vision, but …

365.336 an ordinary tap

I think I got it… I may still try again, but this one’s close. There could be a bit more separation between the stream and the arm behind it, and I could probably stand to minimize the bokeh balls that sort of distract from the stream at the bottom, but this is pretty close to …
