It's hard to take a bad picture in such a beautiful house.

the classic Sears pose

It's not easy to shoot wide open with flash. It doesn't take much to blow out. Lighting distance is key, but that's detrimental to softness of said light.

sorta high up

I'll be back home for the weekend, and since my laptop is out of order, there will be no new posts until Monday night.

Happy Easter to all.

Bus it

Inspired by a daily dose of imagery. Check it out, subscribe to the RSS feed. The super wide angle shots of cities have captivated me for quite a while.

I'd also like to thank my readers! We've past the 1000 mark! funny enough, I was the 1000th reader when I checked the blog from work (as my home IP doesn't count, but my work does.) A little anticlimactic, but still, I thank you for helping me get there! Next milestone; 2000?

Clicky for a much bigger view (2mb)

I've been flaky lately. Busy, lazy, crazy.

But I went on a photowalk today, and I took quite a few shots, which should last me for a few posts.

Thank you for you patience.

Hiatus

Sorry for the wait. I'm just slacking off a little. Feels good, really. I'll come back with more, though. Just gimme a few days.

So while I'm being boring, check out KDfoto. I'll let the blog speak for itself. I'm definitely adding it to my Bloglines.

Cheers!

Macro Contest 4

Don't forget you don't need to guess what I'm shooting as much as part of what it is. :) Either one will do.
Score is still ZERO across the board, so either the pictures are too abstract, you people are chicken, or I just don't have that many readers. ;-)

Macro Contest 3
