Last night I had a dream that I couldn't find my car. I happened to find a large, round balloon, which then became my mode of transportation. I floated from place to place as I needed and enjoyed the breezes and view from above.
I wanted to illustrate how cool it was in my dream, so I went out, got some balloons, and scouted out a good location. As soon as I found the spot where I wanted to do my photo, it got cold and windy and rainy. I attempted a few shots in these conditions, but none of it was working at all, so I packed it in and went home.
Two shots from the roll really fell flat. Some blurry potatoes & an "oh shoot, the shutter isn't closing" moment.
well, looks like my x-axis problem still exists, after around 30 minutes of printing i get one giant offset -.-
I should clarify: this design may be interesting, but it's not what I wanted and I'd rather move on to another design. My intention was to make a custom frame with flight in mind with inspiration from jed_september and squieu. But it ended up too tall and not really consistent in shaping.
Oh, before someone asks, the weird things stuck on the back are supposed to be flight pods or something like that.
EDIT: WHOOPS LEFT THIS PRIVATE.
I'm not sure if this counts as spelling or grammar fail. It should, of course, be "you're nuts". Unless you're into "shaving your nuts" i suppose.
Sigh... I had such high hopes for this strawberry-lemon marbled pound cake, but it was not to be. Smells awesome, tastes fine (apparently) but looks hideous.
Dorodango, attempt 1.
If you do not know what a dorodango is, please see www.dorodango.com
Its an interesting way of passing time. I now intend to at some point finish something that could at least be recognizable as a dorodango:)
Lia Fail..
Very nice too..
"To craft LIA FAIL our brewers selected flavour packed dark crystal and chocolate malts. This combination creates a warming malty body bursting with nutty, chocolate notes that we have balanced with spicy aromas from Cascade and Fuggles hops. It finishes full, mellow and satisfying"
Leigh and I went to see the Gunnison sage grouse at the Waunita Hot Springs Lek near Gunnison, CO. We drove 350 miles the night before and then got up at 4:50AM to drive to the lek from the town of Gunnison. We arrived at the viewing area about an hour before sunrise as per grouse lek etiquette. Unfortunately, this was the finest photo I managed (it has been brightened in PS - actually it appeard much darker than this to the eye), as moments after this was taken, a golden eagle swooped low over the lek looking for breakfast, and all the grouse few away. I do respect the bird's privacy, and am glad that the land has been preserved for their lek. However, 300 yards is too far away for good photos, and the sun rises behind the birds, so they would be backlit even if I could dial in on them. Maybe in the offseason a WW1 style trench could be built with cammo tarps on top that could give us a closer view and a chance for pics?

This is what happens when I try to take a picture of my white and unshaved (tmi?) legs. My flannel shirt gets jealous, and takes the spotlight. I know it's a waste of space for me to upload this since I don't have a pro account and can go up to only 200 photos (and I'm scarily close to that number), but I just had to share this. And I had to share the fact that I have... a blog... so if you wanna look at it, or just for future reference here it is: click me, i'm a blog.
...Yeah...

P.S. My title for my blog is like, eh, so if you see it and wanna make suggestion for a better one send it to me somehow! Like in a comment on my blog or even here. I'd really appreciate it actually.
Tucked along a sun-dappled street in the medieval town of Mirepoix stands a house that never fails to make passersby smile. Its shutters and walls are alive with color—paintings of curious cats peeking from window sills, and mischievous mice scampering along ledges and lintels.
Locals call it La Maison des Chats et des Souris, and legend says it was once owned by an old painter who loved two things above all else: silence and stories. Having neither children nor pets, he filled his home with painted companions—cats of all kinds: regal, sleepy, prowling. And mice, always just out of reach, teasing from painted cracks and corners.
Though the old painter is long gone, his whimsical world remains. Children stop to count the mice, travelers photograph the clever scenes, and some swear they’ve seen the eyes of the painted cats shift ever so slightly.
In Mirepoix, where the past lives in the beams and cobbles, one house tells a story with every brushstroke—and every cat still waits, forever watching, in paint.
Hand-Held Stack Focus, 3 exposures
Not all that great as photo's go, but is probably the first "stack focus" I ever did & it opened my eyes to the possibilities of a new technique. New to me, anyway. I don't do many SF's even now but I've become fairly competent at it and enjoy the results.
Stack focusing isn't magic and won't save a totally bad picture. My SF 1 above is still a little blurry under close examination due to me choosing a pretty slow shutter speed (1/13th sec) for my 3 hand-held shots. I ain't that steady so I moved a little. But there's lots of room for improvement and the technique will reward you if you do everything right.
Here's an example where everything seemed to work just right: www.flickr.com/photos/paddyspig/13951296613/in/photolist-...

When barns fail... photographers swarm... Taken back in 09 near Pollock, South Dakota. There were quite a few photographers here as we passed through.
Together we created ten potential template designs for our toy prototype. This design is inspired by the aggravation one commonly encounters when accessing Twitter.
