228/365 Photo Project - After The Rain

After The Rain

I knew that once the rain cleared today that there would a chance to capture something interesting if I head out and explore South Boston. This office building had a glass awning that had captured the rain.

Taken with the LG Optimus Elite, cropped for square and tone adjusted in post processing, it looked a little too bright straight out of the camera when in real life the sky was still gloomy.

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.
