Three colors of light… 1) Tungsten, from a mini maglite. 2) Cold Blue LED, from a cheap flashlight. 3) Fuorescent/Window Green, from the plastic filter that came with the SB700. I have some things I want to do with this setup, and this shot wasn’t the one I intended to use (though the one I …

365.180 a quick bit of light play
And this is just what the title suggests… In keeping with recent 365 photos, this is me mixing light sources and playing with color: on the left, a minimaglite; on the right an LED Lightbar thing; all around tungsten-balanced cfl and afternoon diffused sunlight. Pretty! D7000. Nikkor 50mm f/1.8G, reversed. ISO100, 1/5th (AP mode), f/5.6 …
365.179 pretty nothing
Other pictures from today’s shoot had a stronger suggestion of narrative than this one, but none caught my eye the way this one does. And others were lined up better, with the camera more closely aligned with the pins than this one, but no others had the color variation or intensity of this one. So …

Pip is a happy little pug who really doesn’t much like these particular biscuits, but she’s not about to let Puck have it, and so she carries it around for awhile and only eats it to spite Puck… I think Pip looks quite gangster, here. Sort of a Pugsy Siegel, perhaps, though that’s a bit …
365.176 some kind of spinning away
This is much more garish on the interwebs than it appears in Aperture. Apologies. I may have mentioned this before, but I spend quite a bit of time on Google Street View at work, verifying business existence (at the time the GSV passed, at the very least), and keeping an eye out for interesting sights. …
365.175 A Tipping Point
At first, I saw this as something disintegrating. Then it appeared as a strange tide rolling in. Then as coagulation or agglomeration. And yet again as rushing and crushing. Insofar as this picture looks like all of these, I think maybe it’s a tipping point, ready to go either way. In other news, I discovered …
