Good morning, everyone!
We had a great time in DC even though the heat was exhausting. I was able to test some equipment which I will review in my journal in the next few days. I took some videos but I'm really a still camera person so I was only able to take about 40mins worth of video ( I had no idea what to take!). I told Tina she will handle the D50 but we ended up switching gears from time to time because I couldn't resist taking shots for myself (and she was better at taking videos). I wish we had another camera body with us.
I didn't take the 70-200mm vr 2.8 with us and used my old Tamron 70-300. Boy, I sure miss VR! I didn't notice how useful it was until that day.
Have a good day, folks!
There had been a few weeks of rain in Vancouver when the sun finally came out and we headed for Granville Island for a bit of lunch.
This is the frame after the application of composition ornaments. Composition ornaments, or "Compo" is a primitive plastic material first developed in the 17th century to enable mass production of carved details for the decorative arts. If you have a victorian house with curlicues around the fireplace or newel post, for example, that's most likely compo.
Compo is made with animal hide glue, pine rosin and whiting (powdered chalk). It's soft and flexible when it's fresh, and can be heated on a steam tray to apply to most any surface. Since it's made out of glue, when steamed it becomes it's own adhesive. Over time (months or years) compo dries and hardens to a brittle hard plastic material.
So I'm diving into the pool yesterday and hear a POP in my leg - ouch! My right heel is now so weak - I fear surgery is in my future! I'll need to get to the doctor today and see what I've done.
I'm not a big fan of antique shops ... but I know many people that are. This one reminds me of that movie "Little Shop of Horrors" ... Suddenly Seymour!

My heart & prayers go out to those in China hit with those Earth quakes. I always watch the earth activity via rss ( earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/catalogs/feed.php?feed=eqs1d... ) and realize how severe their current situation is.
I wonder why its wings are that way? I guess they get tattered from use? (and probably from little kids innocently trying to catch them)
I think this is the proper way of capturing butterflies. Keep them parallel to the camera to make sure all parts are in focus. Taken at f/8 so I have more leeway in terms of depth of field. Shutter speed took a big hit though...down to 1/30th of a second. VR helped I guess. Still not as sharp as I wanted. 200mm
15 second exposure! What a pain! People passing by are probably wondering why we weren't moving for such a long time!

Wood selection for custom wedding frames down at Ironwood in Rozelle.
First round was for Kath - but I commissioned a local framemaker to make them. This time, I'm DIY!
Oh, and I've got some stunning Huon Pine to work with in 2013 too :)

I think this is a common perspective but I saw the lights and shadows and figured it will be good to do some monotones. I used an external flash on some shots.
I only used Lightroom for processing and I made a preset based on the settings I used. Processing was just one click away on all the Lincoln images. Done at 2am. lol!

Under pressure from fierce opposition to his rule, Stadtholder William V and his family fled The Hague in 1785. They returned two years later and the stadt¬holder’s authority was restored. This provided the occasion to commission a series of portraits of the members of his family from the portraitist Tischbein. The artist produced a fashionable group of oval portraits in pastel. The giltwood frames were made by the Hague framemaker Hendrik Ebbens.

The little sign on the left says "for lease" ... I'd sell it. I get a kick out of the windows ... every single one is broken!
