Sony a230 full of bokeh – Photo of the Day #47

This was a test shot from our local Best buy that I took tonight before I bought the Nikkor 335mm f/1.8G DX lens. It’s a very fast focus lens with nice bokeh, I think it’s a tad better than my 50mm f/1.8D AF. I thought this was on spot metering given the central focus but it was on matrix metering, go figure!

“You can’t take pictures of our food” – Photo of the Day #44

This is a nice spread of beets & ginger, alongside “vegan” pico de gallo at Whole Foods Boca Raton. People eat this stuff, I just like the pretty colors.

Now, what does the title have to do with anything? I almost got kicked out of the store for taking this photo! OF BEETS. If you don’t want people taking pics of insanely purple foods, don’t display them. This is the first time anyone has ever said anything to me about taking pictures of the food at Whole Foods. I must be giving away the secrets of how to make chopped beets mixed with ginger.

All the pretty lights – Photo of the Day #43

This was an accidental treasure. I was coming home from picking up my Electro35 GSN prints and was sitting at a light. I set my 50mm lens to manual focus and dropped all the way to the closest focal length and snapped. This is what came out. I’ve very pleased with it, even if it was by luck. This was also a chilly night to be shooting!

The shaped blur at the bottom is a stream of cars a few seconds long.

Everyone loves a hug – Photo of the Day #40

I love this candid shot of Kitty sleeping with one of our mice cuddled up next to his head. The fact that it looks like it’s hugging him is so adorable.

These ladies were a great cadre of conversation tonight at our friendly Starbucks. They yapped almost endlessly the whole time we were there.

This is a lot more grainy than I wanted it to be as I was not paying attention to the fact that my lens was wide open at f/1.8 and introducing so much noise. I was more worried about why my remote wasn’t firing. Nikon, I like your wireless remote but PLEASE make these things work 360 degrees around the camera. having to be in front of it is absolutely stupid.

Took this on a whim in my bathroom with the lights off. The flame’s obviously not that big but I achieved a voluptuous flame by setting the camera to a 5 sec exposure and lightly blew on it from the left. I like the way it came out.

I took this at the Starbucks in Mizner Park tonight and it was a random shot to get. I like the candidness of the photo but not the fact that the table is in the forefront! Couldn’t do much about that since the woman noticed that I was taking pictures of them and got kind of mad at me.

Tonight is the night I also noticed that I’ve developed my first hot pixel in my D90. It’s barely noticeable in the above photo but was a very prominent red dot in many of my other pictures from tonight, which really irks me. I understand it can happen frequently at high ISOs. However, I’ve noticed it from 200 to 1600, at very different ISOs and shutter speeds. It never reared its head until today and I will keep a close eye on it from now on. I read that this is very common problem with the D90, we’ve never had this problem with our weathered Casio EXILIM EXZ750.

Quick, make me a drink – Photo of the Day #35

Quick candid shot of my friend Kelly behind the bar at the Irishmen, making up a new drink that she said tasted “good”. Then, about 6 hours later, I ask her if it was actually good and she said it was horrible. It was a mix of Grey Goose, Patron coffee-flavored tequila, and some Chambord. It sounded absolutely terrible from the get go.

This is the Project 365 photo for 16 January 2010.

This was a lucky shot I got on the way to the bar Friday night. These are the extremely out of focus lights on top of a Boca police cruiser. I had meant to get the lights in focus but didn’t remember that I had left my lens on manual focus. This is probably way better than what I would have gotten any way.

This is the Project 365 picture for 15 January 2010, just posting it late.

I took this earlier today while riding down the road on my motorcycle. It wasn’t easy to do and, according to my girlfriend, certainly not safe. I agree with one of those. It was fun taking these pictures but definitely not the easiest thing to do. Trying to take pictures with your left-hand using a right-handed camera, pretty weird to do.

This is now my 4,000th upload to my Flickr account . And to believe it all started with some pictures here and there then a deluge of Hurricane Wilma pictures and I really haven’t slowed down much since then.
