here in the void in your place,
i twitch and tweak allusion
to sit and stare so blankly
into our whole confused house
-passion pit
it seems that many people who end up taking on a 365 also end up taking photos of their equipment. i attribute this to one of two things: lack of ideas for that day (been there!) or deep (probably unhealthy) love of their equipment. the latter is the subject of my photo today.
the subject (and it was a patient one!) is my nikon 14-24mm f2.8 wide angle lens. he’s been candidly caught capturing some stray photons here.
strobist info:
sb-600 at 1/16 power through shoot-through umbrella camera left. gold reflector at camera right. the shot was a 10sec exposure, and the flash was triggered manually and then for the rest of the exposure i “light painted” with a blue led. this whole thing probably took way too long to accomplish.

and so, i didn’t upload a photo yesterday. oops.
but here is my experiment in hdr photography. i took this in redmond this morning—it almost feels like the start of spring! don’t know if i like this much (the colors seem almost too surreal), but for my first hdr experiment, i think it works!

different hours
my photos are dark lately. not any indication of mood or anything, just perhaps that the sun is still setting before 5pm. either i need to control the rotation of earth, or find more, lighty subjects to photography.
perhaps a dawn/fog photo soon.
strobist info:
single sb-600 in commander mode on tripod inside the door triggered by on-camera flash through the slats in the door. yeah, i was surprised it worked too.

do i have time to think? do i have time to sink?
to make it look alright, i need to bend my soul
-the mary onettes
finally got to use my other new lens, my nikon 18-105, today. another self portrait. i’m definitely digging trying to find new ways to bend my flash unit’s light, but i’m definitely feeling the hurt of not having a wireless trigger.
strobist info:
nikon d90 at 70mm, iso 160, f/20, 1/160sec. sb-600 behind subject at full power triggered via onboard flash. b&w treatment done in lightroom.

travelling somewhere
could be anywhere
there’s a coldness in the air
but i don’t care
-motorcycle
captured this on the 520 bridge this evening. it’s the sky—the blue sky. wow. glad i captured it, as i may not see it again until late spring as the rain will be back soon.

there goes another million,
just wrap it up we own it
this night’s a skill we hone it
and in the morning would you tell me that it’s over?
-junior boys
had the pleasure of having dinner at cactus in alki tonight. yum. yum, yum, yum. yep: that about sums it up.

another few tests to get used to my wide angle. it’s a completely different machine than what i am used to—the focus is different; the framing is completely foreign. bear with me. :p
also: one month down; eleven more to go. woo.
as for this, it’s a look at seattle center and a bit of queen anne on a sunday night as the city is gearing down from a weekend and readying itself for the week.

‘cause nothing ever happens here
-fm belfast
so, of course with the addition of the wide angle lens to arsenal, i figured i would take the obligatory seattle shot. enjoy :)

a color all these like the branches glimpse
just like the saddle in the foggy mist
-passion pit
it may have just been a bit too much party for one of my coworkers to handle. :) he came back though, and with even more party-oriented vigor.
more photos from the bash to come…
