To The Gate

1/14/11 - Week 2
Waiting at the SFO Red Carpet Club for my flight home, I checked today's Daily Shoot assignment #425: "Let's play with movement today. Get a shot of something in motion. Freeze it or let it blur.  It's up to you!"  Since I had the D90 with me this week, I was able to play around with the settings to capture some shots of people coming and going.

My Good Friend David

1/13/11 - Week 2

A group of my colleagues convened for dinner tonight at Hot Wok Cafe in San Mateo, CA.  This Chinese restaurant has, by a longshot, the best hot and sour soup I've ever had.  I caught David, who is always a happy, jovial guy, in a moment of trying to control the fire burning in his mouth and gut.

Knee Shot

1/10/11 - Week 2
Another walking around shot with the 50mm lens.  This one was a "knee level" shot on the way to the train Monday evening and was processed in Silver Efex Pro.

Hip Shot

1/10/11 - Week 2
Walking around with the 50mm lens this week.  I did some hip shooting on the way to the train this evening and caught the rhythm of the railing for today's Daily Shoot #421: "Create a photograph today that illustrates or shows rhythm."

Sheer Beauty

1/9/11 - Week 2

Another shot taken in the forest preserve yesterday.  I unintentionally did a double exposure in camera with one of the shots being vertical motion blur.  Interesting window sheer effect.

Life

1/9/11 - Week 2

An important symbol - the Hebrew word "Chai", meaning "Life".  Shot with my 50mm f1.8 with a reversing ring.

Surreal

1/8/11 - Week 2
Have been wanting to try the vertical motion blur with my DSLR camera since I saw a cool shot by a Flickr friend last week.  This is the first of a series taken in a forest preserve today using my 50mm lens.  More will be posted later in the week.

Week 2 ☞ 01.08.11 - 01.14.11

Theme:  Nifty Fifty

Throughout my Project 365 last year, I did not use my 50mm f1.8 all that often.  Even though I'm traveling again this next week, the D90 with 50mm is not too bulky to take along.  Additionally, I'll bring the reversing ring so maybe a macro will find its way into the mix.


Since I may take shots outside of the weekly theme, if you are interested in checking those out, please see my Flickr Photostream at http://www.flickr.com/photos/jeffm211/
