Around a room

I choose a room I spend a lot of time in. The family room/living room. I mainly went micro like most of you did for my shots.

I had to get out the tripod for a few of them because I didn't want to use a flash on some.

When we livedin Chicago the lady below us had a junk shop I always saw Dog Catchers in the window and thought it was funny. She gave it to me for my birthday.

A collection of rocks we got from the San Juan Island in Washington, we put in a stone bowl. We made a Rock Garden

A buddha that I picked up in NY, and the tree was made by an old friend/co-worker. We always put this Serenity up on the shelf itself

We picked up this Pitcher at a antique store in England. It's not very valuable by any means, but it just looked nice.

Taking pictures at home would have been too easy, (this was suppose to be a challenge -- right?). So I took my camera into work and in the wee hours of the morning I took some boring pictures I found this to be the most intresting spot

What did I learn? Even dull surfaces reflect alot of light. The flash only goes out a few feet (I relearn this all the time.) And no matter how much you try, a boring room is still a boring room.

I look forward to this, every day: button

I had a new propane tank installed up in Crivitz last Friday so invited my brother up for the weekend. We did some scouting for the upcoming deer season and did a little geocaching. Great time as always!

I selected the living room in Crivitz for the current challenge. Just some things you'd expect to see in the north woods.

What big feet you have!

Thanks for looking. I hope you enjoy!

I went up to the Loft again yesterday and tried my 24 shots again. The first set were taken in the evening and there was no light coming through the window. This time it was late afternoon, and there was a lot of sunlight. I think that maybe the first group were better, but what do you think?

Threw my back out this morning, spent a boring day resting on my tush waiting for my back to feel better. Decided to do some low stress photography for the contest.

My porch is enclosed with screen so I'm stretching it a bit and calling it a room.

So Zoom Me !

With the purchase of my first Zoom Lens came a certain ' growing into'or 'coming of age.'I noticed my first revelation of being a Peeping Tom when I read that the train station was under survailance by the police.An increase in paranoia followed and was exasterbated by the coldest October 13 on record for Chicago. By Sunday;however I had recovered at least some of my dignity and thought I would take a literal zoom through Devon Avenue heading East from Lincoln to Western in Chicago.This is where cultures and religions collide and live side by side.My first portrait,as if by serendipity was an Orthodox Jew saying prayer outside the synygoge. The rest of the story I will let the photographs of yesterday and my retouching them in Photoshop that night when the experience was still fresh in my mind tell the story. popup

I didn't want to, but I said I would try. I hate shooting indoors. I hate flash. My tripod is old and cranky. I did try a few different things with lighting, timing and dof. I stayed in the kitchen. No arranging or cleaning was allowed. Mostly lousy results. Here are the three I decided on - more for emotional reasons not quality.

There. I'm done.

This challenges was great. I learned that everything has photograghic potential. I leaned towards a lot of macro shots though. The toughest time was choosing the three because I really liked five of the shots. I'll put those into another post. Anyway, here it goes....
