clnkblank > 03.18.09 I logged on earlier and left a bunch of comments but forgot to upload my picture. This is in a little shopping area downtown. The flowers look so fresh and beautiful!
clnkblank > 03.19.09 & Self-Portrait Week 3. Thank you very much for all the comments on my photo yesterday. It's the first time one of mine posted high in the gallery. On to today's....self portraits are so hard to make. It seems like I took about 70 pictures just to get one I could tolerate posting. I used all natural light but ended up having to use a high ISO to do so which made it pretty grainy.
clnkblank > 03.13.09 Keeping Watch. I saw this building ....again on the way to school. It has statues about every 15 ft on the roof. They look like they are keeping watch. Each one is different. I've tried to find some information about them but no luck yet. ISO 200, f/6.3, 1/2000, fl=200mm
clnkblank > 03.24.09 Kinzi. This is my daughter. She's my test subject all the time. She's getting pretty tired of it since I haven't been happy with any portraits that I've taken. Tonight, I was taking some test shot to see if my camera was focusing right....well, it was, beginner errors on my part. I'm so glad I was was able to produce something the way I wanted it. I was going for the narrow DOF to just be sharp in her eyes and then blur out and yippee, I got it! I didn't do any post processing with this file in photoshop. The black item on her head is a temporary tattoo. Yes, she did think that was a wonderful place for one and her school doesn't have a dress code that prohibits it, so we just let her. Her eyes are hazel. Sometimes they look green, sometimes the blue comes out. Right now I see a lot of blue and barely any green.
clnkblank > 03.20.09 "Metric America" Today's photo isn't the most exciting but it does have it's own story. According to our local "mini" paper, we live by the only section of U.S. interstate road marked in metric. A 100 kilometer or 63 mile section of I-19 is marked like the photo you see here. The markers were placed here in 1980 as a part of a federal experiment with metric conversion. It was very unpoplular, caused a lot of complaints and confused drivers. Yet, we still have it 30 years later. Now the state has proposed taking out those signs and replacing them with mile markers. Now, there is a lot of fuss going on about that based on the economy and should we spend 1.5 million to replace it with the state budget in crisis. Personally, I don't care. They are unique and I can convert so no big deal for me but the first time you drive on it you really can't tell how far things are unless you can remember your metric conversions quickly. We moved here 4 years ago and didn't really know the story until just this week. I'd love to hear your opinion! I had to pull over in the emergency area to snap this photo quickly, sorry about the less than exciting composition!
clnkblank > 03/03/09 - My plum tree is blooming. It remains a very warm day and everyones allergies are going crazy because everything is blooming.
clnkblank > 02.27.09 Sunning Turtle. I found this little pond in Tucson the other day. That is where the mohowk duck was from yesterday and where this little guy came from too. He let me walk up very close to get a few pictures.
clnkblank > 3.10.09 I've been out of town for a while but I'm back now. I was learning to use my camera better. This is a goose from one of the little lakes here in town. I sat on a bench right behind him and he just fell asleep on one leg. Can you see his inner eyelids...they are white. He wasn't bothered by me at all. ISO 250, f/10.0, 1/60, FL=165mm, Nikon D80
clnkblank > 02.24.09 We had another 90 degree day! Wow, we are breaking records with our weather. This is an extremely long wood fence blocking off a walking trail behind my house.
