Not super happy with this shot. The concept in my head was much better than the picture I got. I took about 12 shots trying to get the right angle and exposure.
I needed my main camera to shoot two exposures, one for above ground and one for below, and combine them. As you can see, the upper portion is over-exposed. There are limits with an iPhone and walking a dog!
I’ve decided to stick with my current format and just post all the days' extra shots under the Name “Stray Pixels”, since they’re strays or extras from the daily shot. I will also add the category stray-pixels to the post so they are easier to find.
I’ve struggled with how to handle the days' other photos, making a whole new blog, or making stray pixels a separate post, but this seems to be the cleanest, easiest answer. All the photos are automatically sent to Flickr as well.
It may sound weird, but sparkling water (water with gas) varies greatly in taste, hardness, softness, and level of carbonation, so when you find one that stands out, it’s almost exciting! LOL
First time with this one. It’s outstanding. Plus, it looks even better with Bokeh in the background ; )
Wanted to get away for a few days, so a proper road trip was in order. My wife is a huge dinosaur fan and has always wanted to see the La Brea Tar Pits Museum. Long day of driving, but made it in time to check in and head out for some great Thai food. Museums tomorrow.
A very slow day for picture taking. The only shot I took today was going to TJ’s for some survival food as I sat at my desk all day. Only taking one picture sure makes the decision-making easier!
I’ll show you the shot I’d like to post below, but it’s a screenshot and doesn’t count in my little 365Pixels world (at least not yet, LOL)
Early arrival at the airport this morning, caught the fleet at rest. In a few hours, it will be controlled chaos as hundreds of flights are launched from these gates.
Long day of cancellations and changes. Ended up on two DH’s back home for the night. Back out bright and early in the morning, time to get people where they need to go.
Long day today battling the Winter weather, I’m beat.
Made it through MDW unscathed and ontime which still amazes me. The whole day was worth it because of some Pad Thai. I just gotta say, if you are ever in Berkeley, CA. You have to stop at IMM Thai Street Food. It was hands down the best Pad Thai I’ve ever had in my life. Fresh rolls were outstanding and look at that homemade thick peanut sauce. I’ve fallen in love with food.
Note: this is my first food post on 365Pixels, I’m generally not inclined to post food pics, but imm Thai Street Food deserves the shoutout and a rightful place on this blog.
The hard working, kind people at imm’s made my day. I so appreciate you.
I got to meet Lily today. I don’t know the first thing about horses, but it was a pleasure to meet and spend some time with Lily today. Lily really likes to lick your hands and arms. I was covered in saliva by the end of the meeting. She was getting some saddle training today, no riders, just getting used to the saddle.
I love it when I get my daily shot early. Got up in San Diego at 03:30, had a cup of coffee on the veranda and saw my shot for the day, just staring at me. I took about 13 shots trying different levels of Night Mode with the iPhone. All shots handheld. I’m always amazed at how well it does. See below for the color shot.
