Still working on this food photography. Trying new recipes and using only natural light.
Tasted better than it looks.

I do like the white balance here.

T and I went for a walk. He likes to stop and smell the flowers, and push the buttons, and turn around, and...I just like to shoot him.

Morning routine. Miss Peaches likes to hang out with me while I drink my coffee, check my e-mail, etc. Sometimes she lets me take pictures of her but I have to be sly and use my iPhone or she will snub me.

T and his Papa.

They went out to get some pictures of a Hawk with my Nikon N4004 (film) and 400 mm lens. I ran out after them. I like the way the 75-300mm lens on my Canon 30D captured this and several other shots. A bit dark in some areas but they are both smiling.

This doesn't look as dark on my home monitor. I'm teaching myself Lightroom.I know once I get the hang of it, it will be easier. Meanwhile, it has slowed me down considerably. Clearly it is time for montior calibration, again.

I used a couple presets on this. Too much? I kinda like the grit.

I also captured this on my iPhone using....wait for it....the Hipstimatic app. Can be seen on Flickr

I just realized, posting this almost three weeks after I shot it (!) that it is fitting for the date.

Every Friday night in spring and summer there is a small car show not even a half mile from my house. This was okay in color but something about Black and White works.

Hipstamatic again. In love with this app. Feels like I'm cheating though. I was using my new light tent and available light. I captured some with my 30D but they just didn't do it for me.
