Almost sunrise. Almost everyone is still asleep. Almost looks like rain, if you didn’t know better. Almost got run over by someone who thought they were running late. Almost got everything lined up. Almost patient enough to wait out the fast-moving clouds. Almost observant enough to line up the various markings better (especially the arrows). …

365.173 Under the Gun
I had fun making this, but a heckuva time getting it uploaded and edited, and I’m not particularly pleased with the results so we’ll be trying again on the morrow, perhaps. So I plugged the SD card into the new mbp, and after a few seconds, Aperture opened and offered to import the pictures for …
365.172 Untitled
D7000. Sigma 30mm f/1.4. ISO800, 1/125th, f/4. Some cropping and gentle processing in Aperture.

Note: a friendly neighbor assisted a bit, by strategically strewing flowers and twigs around. Thanks for …
365.171 Askew
Have you ever had an idea for a shot, spent 20 minutes setting it up, 20 minutes trying various arrangements, angles, subject/camera positioning, but finding nothing that worked, then glanced over, saw some groovy light happening, and snapped the shot in one go? Well that’s what I just did… and here I thought (read: hoped) …
365.170 weak

The concept is worn out (for now, for me, if not for you). The execution is poor. The composition nonexistent. But …
365.169 Coltrane, Lush Life, Track One
I’ve long wanted to title things with musical phrases, but I’ve yet to come up with a way to do it. For example, you walk into a gallery, and there next to a painting is a card with some musical notation where the title would usually go, followed by the artist name and materials and …
365.168 people dressed in plastic bags, directing traffic
(Unrelated) Downloaded the new Aperture 3.3… It took ~30minutes to update my library, and a minute to get the RAW converter panel back. Overall, I like the look, though some of the stuff has been dumbed down a bit (the extra sliders in Shadows/Highlights, for example). The new preview functions are a bit strange too: …
