12/17/10 - Day 364
Taken for today's Daily Shoot #397: "Squares and grids surround us in our built environment. Focus in on some squares today and make a photograph."

Pretty good timing for showing a collection of shots taken for my Project 365, which ends tomorrow.

What Traffic?

11/24/10 - Day 341
Found a great and free iPad app called Trip Tracker for live flight tracking.  So much for the Thanksgiving travel crowds.  My son's flight from Denver was early this morning.  And I zipped in and out of the airport to pick him up, all with zero delays.

Shot for today's Daily Shoot #374: "Illustrate the process or thought of traveling today, possibly by documenting your own travels."

CEUs

11/16/10 - Day 333
Working on those last minute CEUs for my license renewal at the end of November. Almost done!

Shot for Daily Shoot assignment #366: "For the 1st assignment of @dailyshoot year 2, create a photo with a single element, no distractions, & lots of contrast."

Last Minute Research

9/24/10 - Day 280
Perfect assignment for today's Daily Shoot #313: "Make a photo of an interesting stack of books or magazines.  Consider how you handle repeating lines in your composition."

We're leaving Saturday for our trip to Greece and Istanbul.  Between the Rick Steves' guidebooks, the iPad, and a couple of maps, I'm hoping we're covered information-wise.  The image on the iPad is of Santorini, one of the Greek islands we'll be visiting.

For my friends that follow my Project 365, DS posts, and Flickr photostream, rest assured I will be shooting every day.  I may not be posting every day, so please be patient; I promise to catch up as quickly as possible.  Now, gotta go finish packing...hmmm, how many lenses to bring?

Cruising

8/21/10 - Day 246
Two days late for the monthly self-portrait. On the way to get a haircut.

A Bunch of New Stuff

8/20/10 - Day 245
Tried a whole bunch of new stuff tonight while shooting today's Daily Shoot assignment #278: "Make a photograph with a shallow depth of field today. Get in close if you need to force it with the lens you have."

First, I used my 50mm f1.8 with a reversing ring for the shallow DoF.
Second, I transferred the images from camera to iPad using the camera connection kit.
Third, I processed the image in an excellent iPad photo app called Photogene.  No processing in Lightroom.
Lastly, I transferred the processed image back to computer for exporting through Lightroom.

I could have posted the image directly from the iPad, but wanted to see if the EXIF metadata transferred into Lightroom...it didn't.  That is the one serious downfall of working with photos on the iPad.  If anyone out there has a metadata solution for the iPad, please let me know!
