A couple of weeks ago, A Lesser Photographer (aka CJ Chilvers) posted the following to his excellent blog (back when he ran alesserphotographer… now it’s only cjchilvers: own your writing and your photography): Longevity in photos has become inversely proportional to the lack of longevity in the subject. Apparently, this drew the ire of some readers, and so …

365.341 almost Koonsian, maybe
When I loaded this into the computer, my first thought was “That looks like a Jeff Koons painting!” I’m somewhat less sure about that now, but it does look painted, does it not? Well, it wasn’t. D7000. Vivitar 70-210mm f/3.5 Series 1 (Kiron, maybe), in Macro mode. ISO100, 1/10th, f/3.5. Pop-up set in Commander mode, …
365.340 Olive
I haven’t posted a picture of one or another of the cats of late, so I thought today’s I’mreallynotquitefeelingit picture could remedy that. It’s not quite in focus, but I doubt Olive minds much, and sof-focus techniques tend to work rather well for such beautiful subjects. D7000. Vivitar 70-210mm f/3.5 Series 1 (Kiron, maybe), in …
365.339 the beautiful prisoner
I really expected to be frantically trying to find something to shoot for the 365 about now, but (and thankfully) I decided to check and see if any of the run-grab-the-camera-before-the-nice-neighbor-lady-freed-the-trapped-butterfly grab shots grabbed my attention… Exactly one was in focus. Exactly one had a reasonable composition. Given this was shot by prefocusing on the …
365.338 Ohne Titel
This was shot for the Nature in Monochrome event on Google+, sort of at the last minute, and only after I found out that the pictures I made earlier in the day were mis-focused. I guess this works, in a sort of noir kinda way, but I’m not very pleased with it. Oh well. D7000. …
365.337 yesterday’s was better, methinks
Well, I intended to make another ghostwalker attempt this morning, but I got a late start (by ~2 minutes or less), so I decided to try this again. I don’t know about you, but I think yesterday’s attempt was better. It’s not that I don’t like this one, and it’s closer to my vision, but …
365.336 an ordinary tap
I think I got it… I may still try again, but this one’s close. There could be a bit more separation between the stream and the arm behind it, and I could probably stand to minimize the bokeh balls that sort of distract from the stream at the bottom, but this is pretty close to …
