Day 59

Random I know, but was testing out my chances of getting a clear picture out of a water reflection.  Edited to reverse the image so you can read it ;-) (85mm, ISO-100, 1/400sec, f/1.8)

Day 58

Doodle-saurus!  The dinosaur that was never documented.  And I'm amazed at the random texture of my driveway, haha.

Just a close-up of my Detroit wheels on the VW.  (85mm, ISO-100, 1/125, f/1.8)

Is it time to go to bed yet?  (85mm, ISO-100, 1/500sec, f/1.8)

Day 55

Yes, you are not seeing things - my car does indeed come with missiles and an escape pod in case of emergency.  If you live in MA, you understand that missiles do come in handy on your daily commute.  And yes, I do keep my car this clean, haha.  (16mm, ISO-320, 1/30sec, f/5.6)

Day 54

Sorry Doug, you knew this picture would come back to haunt you someday.. and today is that day!  Literally laugh out loud every time I see this one.  (42mm, ISO-640, f/5, 1/60sec)

Day 53

No diving off bridge.. should have said walk at own risk!  (24mm, ISO-100, f/9, 1/160sec)

Day 52

Spent some time staring at the front of my car so thought I would snap a photo.  Spent even more time trying to find a signature for my photos that wasn't quite so boring!  (16mm, ISO-100, 1/60sec, f/7.1)

Day 51

Trying out the new wide angle lens in the woods.  Yeah, it's wide alright!  (8mm, ISO-200, f/18, 1/15sec)

Day 50

Mom is in town with her fun little Mini and I had to give my new super wide angle a spin this morning.  8mm photos, here I come!  (8mm, ISO-200, f13, 1/25sec)

Day 49

This vulture was a bit mad at me for taking his photo, but the pose was priceless.  And believe it or not, those eyes are not edited!  (300mm, ISO-400, f/8, 1/400sec)

Day 48

One of my favorite pics to date - happen to be at the right place at the right time, and had my camera gear ready.  (39mm, ISO-200, f/22, 1/50sec)

Day 47

I wonder what gorillas dream about?  (200mm, ISO-640, f/5, 1/250 sec)



On a side note (and not a very good picture since I could not get the subject to stay still!), today I answered the question: Do schnoodles have mohawks?  See for yourself!  I know, I know... our poor dog ;-)

Day 46

Sailboats anyone?  The reflection in the ocean was too good not to take a photo of this.  (28mm, ISO-100, f/11, 1/160sec)

Tuesday, February 14, 2012

Day 45

Just came across an old panorama I made of Chicago and thought I might make it blog worthy.  Just a touch of editing as this chrome orb is amazing in itself.

Day 44

Went for the artsy feel on this one.  We all love a good red glass of wine :-)  Should have broke out the tripod, but I wanted to hand shoot this one in low light so I had to bump the ISO up a bit to 800. (85mm, ISO-800, f/2.8, 1/40sec)

Day 43

Stayed at the Marriott in San Diego for a science nerd conference and was very impressed with the hotel design, and right on the water too!  If only New England had this weather... (18mm, ISO-200, f/22, 1/25sec)

Day 42

Oh the fuzzy little meerkat, who doesn't love this little guy?  This one was catching some late afternoon sun at the San Diego Zoo.  (130mm, ISO-200, f/5, 1/250sec)

Day 41

The tigers at the San Diego Zoo were just waking up at 9:30am.  Talk about a zoo life!

Day 40

Since my recent trip to the San Diego Zoo, the pics are hot off the press so I figured I would post one, from 32,000 feet.  Thanks GoGo Inflight Wifi, lol.

Day 39

In spirit of my trip to the San Diego Zoo today, I'll bring back this picture from Hawaii.  I somehow captured this photo with my telephoto at full extension and I'm hoping I can replicate this many times over today with the animals in California.  Stay tuned!

Day 38

More landscape pics from Kauai you ask?  Here you go!  These pictures make me want to go back to paradise armed with a new super-wide angle lens.

Day 37

Another unbelievable view from the Kauai northern coast.  This was the scenery from the lighthouse in Hanalei, not too shabby eh?

Day 36

Little late on Day 36's posting, but I'm away at a conference for work in San Diego.  With no further ado, we'll keep revisiting Kauai photos this week and they are smaller than normal too since I only uploaded them to photobucket before leaving and I do not have the full ones!

Day 35

Off to a conference for work, so this week I am revisiting a recent trip to Kauai, HI for the blog pics.  Today will mark the first day with a Kauai sunrise:  (55mm, ISO-100, f/5.6, 1/400sec)

Day 34

My friend Doug rocking out a tough climb at the Boston Rock Gym.  Cheers to a great night of climbing!  (85mm, ISO-2000, 1/125sec, f/1.8)

Day 33

Forgot to post this pic from the last mini snowstorm - looks like a forest fire in my backyard but its just the sunrise.  Had a lot of fun taking this pic!  (300mm, ISO-6400, 1/320sec, f/11)

Day 32

Let's start off February with my latest car modification - LED tail lights!  These euro-style lights really tie in the rear end of the GTI MK6.  The car forum may appreciate this more than my photo-blog followers! (85mm, ISO-200, 1/50sec, f/4)
