Self portrait – Photo of the Day #66

Tonight I decided to put one of my new LumoPro light stands to work. This was taken on the old golf course by our apartment right before some rain started rolling in. How is it that I always catcha good night shot when it’s getting ready to rain?!
By the way, Nikon’s CLS works like absolute crap in the dark. I had the camera approximately 17 feet away and the speedlight wouldn’t fire with a 100% completely clear line-of-sight to the camera. I thought these things had a range of at least 20 to 25 feet?!!?! I had to move the camera in about 10 feet and adjust the focus to ~7ft on the focus ring.

This is the Ford emblem on my neighbor’s truck. Between the near pitch black and the sole street light as a light source, this really struck me as somber and iconic at the same time. Very pleased with this shot.

Behold…Bubba Sparxxx – Photo of the day #64

This was a quick snap of my girlfriend’s Samsung Behold II after Shazam had tagged a song that was playing. I love the color detail from a bright neon OPEN sign on the face of the phone, creates a kind of lucid effect. I thought this was going to turn out poorly based on the on-camera review but at full size, there’s a lot of detail that was captured at ISO800 without a lot of grain, very surprising.

This is Bubba, a dog we rescued today on the north side of Boca Raton. Found him running around with his walking leash on and a collar with no tag. After about two hours we tracked down the owner’s apartment and left him a note to call us. No call yet 
. But if he doesn’t call soon, we’ve got good leads on where to take this adorable dog to get adopted and not put down!

This was a random shot of a wedding party at The Dubliner in Mizner Park. I have no idea why they were *there* of all places, but they were and looked to be having some fun. I believe this is the bride and groom.

The back-lit hookah – Photo of the Day #60

This was shot for reddit’s /r/photoit subreddit: http://bit.ly/cJYZHb . The idea was to simply take a picture of something that would look different backlit and this was it. The hookah is my 36″ tall Khalil Mamoon that I received for Christmas two years ago. You can just barely make out the words near the top of the photo itself.

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.

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!

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.
