Undulating motion – Photo of the Day #58

An accidental snap I took while walking to Starbucks in Mizner Park. The up/down wave motion is the result of taking a few steps, I rather like it. It’s underexposed because I was shooting for "sunny 16" earlier in the day and didn’t adjust my f-stop for the dusk sky.

A lone washed up sea urchin on Deerfield Beach…beach. It was a beautiful day down at the pier today and despite the wind, lots of fun! Until I got a handful of sand down my pants!

White light bursting forth – Photo of the Day #56

This is a fountain in a complex about a mile from our house. I thought the blazing white center light was a great focal point and I think this turned out well. Funny thing is this is a “private residence” with “no trespassing” and I walked right in, real private eh!

This is most of my girlfriend’s DVD collection. We had to move everything off of our new Ikea cabinets so we could put doors on them! I don’t know what was more tedious, taking all her DVDs down or mounting 30lb melamine doors, ugh!

Clean up your poop! – Photo of the Day #54

Just one of the many signs around the neighborhood. I love the green tone this is giving off due to the flourescent white balance I used. The print on the sign itself is green and the light source is a pale cool white with a tinge of green flourescent. Makes for a very interesting photo!

Play me some jazz funk – Photo of the Day #53

Took this tonight at wine tasting in Davie, where they had a local jazz band playing whose name I can’t recall at this moment. They were well in time together and played some smooth tunes, even did a rendition of a Bob Marley song.
I was displeased with the lighting though. I had three different types of light sources (warm flourescent, daylight flourescent, and some weird white tungstens) that I could never get to white balance just right. The rest of the shots I took turned out terribly, so next time I’ll be taking my own diffused flash. It was fun though.

This is just a few of the restaurants available at "The Turn" in Deerfield Beach next to the ocean. Truthfully, I’ve never eaten on that side of the road, we always eat on the opposite side with Flanigan’s and The Whale’s Rib. Fresh seafood at its finest!

This is an absolutely great blood splatter. Except for the fact that it’s not blood at all! This is a stain from the inside of a HYDROXYCUT supplement pill. I have no idea what this is actually is chemically but it’s visually identical to blood. Where’s Dexter when you need him?!

This is the absolute best picture I got out of a recent roll of Kodak HD 400 color film using my Yashica Electro35 GSN. We were leaving the house pretty quickly and I just asked Jess to smile and this is what came out, I’m VERY happy with it.

These two stacks of phone books have been sitting by our mailboxes for over 4 months because no one is ever going to use them. Our property managers are apparently oblivious to this fact. I’ve seen kids using them to build steps and play, so I guess that’s some kind of good.
