My el-cheapo tulips finally started opening up. I had to stick my camera right up to the edge of the petals to try and get this shot. It’s not as sharp as I wanted it, but it was the best I could do without mashing up the pretty orange petals. I thought it ended up as passable semi-abstract photography.
I wonder [...]
Today I attempted to make granola bars at home. These raisins and cranberries were very well-behaved, sitting together all nice and cozy in the bowl waiting to join the rest of the stuff already in the oven.
I can almost taste the sweetness just looking at this. Who knew shriveled old fruit can look so inviting?
I need a snack.
I waited too late to take today’s photo, so it was either more tulips or whatever else was scattered around in the kitchen. Which needs to be repainted.
I have so far bought four samples of colors, slapped each one on the wall, and still no consensus. If this goes on any longer, I may end up with a technicolor wall [...]
I almost forgot to take photos today, so I defaulted to my bunch of 20-cent tulips that are blooming nicely sitting on the kitchen table.
The kitchen lights were harsh and washed out the details of the photo, so I played around with CS3 lighting effects. I discovered that flashlight lighting usually works wonders for salvaging otherwise unpalatable views.
You know, I [...]
Busy day today, and not much time to photograph anything. Unless you happen to be left alone inside the car for a few minutes, and start taking pictures of random stuff you can see outside your car window.
One of the great things about supermarket anniversary specials is that you can get a bunch of seven tulips for twenty cents. That’s less than three cents a tulip.
(I initially wanted to photograph the bunch, but I happen to be the world’s worst floral arranger. I thought I’d spare you the visual.)
I … I … I just couldn’t resist. It looked so beautiful up there in the sky. How could I not take its picture?
One thing I’ll say about this Canon Powershot S5. For a non-DSLR, it sure does a great job taking photos of the moon.
Oh, and I didn’t venture outside for this. I’m growing tired of getting sick so [...]
This is an astrolomeria. Try saying that three seventy-two times, really fast.
Today I had the pleasure if seeing my mom’s reaction after seeing her new car parked right by the entrance of the dealership. The folks at Hudson Honda were absolutely a delight to work with, from General Sales Manager Johnny Rivas to sales associate Yirko Salgado. I’m telling you, [...]
Just a brief note here. The photo I shot of the moon for my Project 365 the other day got included in Flickr’s Explore page for Jan 22!
(Flickr’s Explore page for the day supposedly displays the 500 most interesting shots uploaded that day. Don’t ask me how they choose the shots, because I’ve seen a lot of awesome photos that [...]
