Out cooking dinner on the grill today, I noticed a lot of birds flying around. So, I put out some seed and peanuts, then grabbed the camera and waited patiently for the feathered friend action to commence... I waited... Saw some birds fly by... Waited some more... Hey, there goes a Cardinal... Waiting and waiting... Flipped the pork roast steaks and baked potato.... Waiting.... Alright! a small sparrow lands by the seeds! As I'm slowly and cautiously raising my camera, a kid rides by on a bike spooking the bird... Grrrrrr... More waiting.... I start to take pictures of dumb stuff in the yard: The thermometer on the fence, the pull ring on the gate. The birdhouse in the corner of the deck. Then a beautiful female Cardinal lands on the support bar which the aforementioned birdhouse hangs from. I had to act fast and smooth as these birds don't hang around long. I had the shutter at high speed continuous and before it flew away, I was able to fire off about six perfectly out-of-focus shots... Drat!
More waiting... Waiting waiting waiting... And then, I'm looking at the two sconces hanging on the wall just next to where I am standing. I back up and admire the sparkling little crystal thingies hanging from it and decide to take a few shots.... Not bad me thinks to me-self. So I give myself a little workshop in the fine art of Depth of Field right then and there. About 20 shots later, dinner was ready. I put everything away and enjoyed a nice dinner with Dale and after doing a bunch of other stuff, I took a look at my shots. Whittled down to four and then this one. Not bad I guess. Could be worse. Could be better.
Wish it was a bird....

Strobist - Lighting 102 Assignment - Cooking Light
I took this shot for the Strobist Lighting 102 "Cooking Light". If you're reading this you probably already know the idea - shoot something found in your kitchen and control the specular highlight coming off it.
The setup:
Shot @ 1/250 at f/9 to kill the ambient light. 580EXII Speedlite high and at camera right. Diffused with a home-made softbox and with a half-cut of CTO to warm up the scene a bit. My fiance's make-up mirror is just left of frame providing the tiniest bit of fill to the orange.
Seven made some "beef tips" the other day.
As a vegetarian, she got very excited because it was almost like cooking real meat.
This photo was not my idea..."That just makes it funnier!"
Tuareg lady in a family I stayed with for a while cooking a whole lot of rice and goat for a feast we had -- men and their wives and children came from all over with their camels.
After eating we danced in the scorching sun, clapping hands and chanting, and then all the women gathered in a little group, while the men rode around and around them (us) on the camels.
What was really amazing was that the camels seemed to run in rhythm with the music...

In the street in Dharavi.
Asia's largest slum, Dharavi, lies on prime property right in the middle of India's financial capital, Mumbai (Bombay).
It is home to more than a million people. Many are second-generation residents, whose parents moved in years ago.
Today's Dharavi bears no resemblance to the fishing village it once was. A city within a city, it is one unending stretch of narrow dirty lanes, open sewers and cramped huts.
In a city where house rents are among the highest in the world, Dharavi provides a cheap and affordable option to those who move to Mumbai to earn their living.
Rents here can be as low as 185 rupees ($4/£2.20) per month. As Dharavi is located between Mumbai's two main suburban rail lines, most people find it convenient for work.
Even in the smallest of rooms, there is usually a cooking gas stove and continuous electricity.

The city of Udaipur is located in the Aravalli ranges of the royal state of Rajasthan and is also known as the jewel of Mewar. Also known as the City of Dawn, Udaipur is surrounded by ancient mountains and set on the edge of three lakes. It is a beautiful old city with narrow lanes flanked by bright stalls, gardens, lakes, palaces and temples meandering through it. It is situated at a distance of about 405 km from the state capital Jaipur.
Udaipur was founded in 1559 and named after Maharana Udai Singh. It then replaced Chittor as the capital of the Sisodia dynasty, when according to legend, the Maharana went out hunting one day and met a holy man who blessed him and told him to built a palace at that very spot, as it would be well protected. Today, Udaipur is a one of the better-known tourist destinations of India and an integral part of any itinerary for Rajasthan.
