173/365 Photo Project - 101 Degrees

101 Degrees

During the drive home this evening the temperature outside in the Boston area reached 101 degrees Fahrenheit according to the thermometer in my cars dashboard, it actually read 102 just before I took this shot while waiting in traffic. Having A/C inside the car though made me not want to get out when made it home through the local traffic.

Taken with the LG Optimus Elite no post processing.

12/365 Photo Project - Sunburst Molly

Image
Sunburst Molly Today certainly was a day for indoor photography with 60mph wind gusts and none stop rains pounding the pavement I wasn't going to subject my camera equipment (or myself) to those elements. Instead I focused my Pentax K200d mounted to the Pentax DA 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AL lens on the wildlife of our aquarium. With my Pentax K200d in macro mode using a tripod and on camera flash I set the sweet spot of focus on the bottom of the tank and waited for the fish to come in to frame. I certainly wish I had more patience to stand there longer, this still took over 20 frames before getting anywhere close to a fish in focus and framed decently. The on camera flash makes the shadow very contrasty here and the depth of field is very shallow - for instance the fish to the left of the frame was less than an inch closer to the lens but is completely out of focus. Perhaps a lesson on photographing fish is needed.

26/365 Photo Project - Broadway Station

Image
Broadway Station Heading in to Boston for lunch today lent itself to taking today's photo of the Broadway T Station on the MBTA Red line. The difficulty here was capturing the length of the platform and the repeating columns while trying to ensure no commuters were in the frame. Looking back at this image I wish I had paid more attention to the recycle newspaper bins and positioned myself so they weren't in the shot. C'est la vie! Taken with the Canon PowerShot SX230HS in Auto mode. No post processing.
