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?!

What a paper trail – Photo of the Day #49

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.

Took this outside our complex’s clubhouse around 1AM. I like the isolation of the sprinkler’s water against the amber floodlight behind it, although I didn’t like lying on the wet ground to get it!

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!

Cats do the darnedest things – Photo of the Day #45

Tonight we put a mouse in our hamster ball and tossed some treats into it. Don immediately took to it and tried to get the mouse out. It took a few tries of sticking his paw in, tipping it over with his head, pushing it, and so forth before he finally got everything out. It was a lot of fun watching him try to figure it all out.

“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.

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.
