I really didn’t want to shoot yet another macro shot today, and really thought one of the power’s-out-so-I’m-bouncing-flashlight-off-the-ceiling-thanks-purely-to-photography long exposures I made early this morning, but none of them worked particularly well, and none were even remotely in focus, and I got home rather late, so here we are. Oh well. D7000. Nikkor 24mm f/2.8 …

365.150 Close, but not quite…
I tried for many hours to capture this: “…[C]onsciousness flowed through and around her and into the darkness. She glimpsed the place dimly before her mind blanked itself away from the terror.

After yesterday’s Happy Accident, I decided to try to get one On Purpose, and I must say that the Happy Accident turned out better, and was much easier to recognize as ‘shot-of-the-day’ than this one. Of course, it didn’t hurt that the Happy Accident was the only picture I took yesterday, but it screamed “I’m …
365.140 a Happy Accident
While speeding to work this morning (I wasn’t running late, just speeding), I came up on an suv of some sort, and the light coming off of its spinners was AMAZING. So I slowed down, whipped out the camera, popped off the lens cap, pointed it, and tripped the shutter… But a D7000 in AP …
365.137 a bad capture of some brilliant light
If you pay attention, there’s a great light show going on somewhere nearby at virtually any time of the day or night. Realizing this fact and coming to appreciate light of all types is, on my view, one of the keys to improving skill as a photographer. Sometimes it’s easy to capture the amazing light …
