First Flakes

12/1/10 - Day 348
The light snow covering on the deck made it pretty easy to accomplish today's Daily Shoot assignment #381: "Use vignetting in a photograph today. Either add it in post (easier) or do it in camera via lens or lighting (harder)." Did not use the vignetting sliders at all, only a little exposure and recovery to bring out the detail.  And, a little creative placement of the flashlight beam.  Check out my Flickr photostream for the runner-up shot.

Metal River

11/13/10 - Day 330
Today's Daily Shoot #363 was: "What is your favorite material? Make a creative photograph today that emphasizes its characteristics." Not sure if metal is my favorite material but was definitely one that dominated our day since we went car shopping.

Green dominates the color scheme because to buy a car, you need a lot of the green stuff these days. BTW, we didn't take the plunge today.

Moonlight

9/20/10 - Day 276
Nothing softer than moonlit clouds...other than light painted cottonballs.  Daily Shoot #309: "Make a photograph of something that is soft, or at least looks that way.  Convince the viewer of the softness."

Cold Diagonal

8/30/10 - Day 255
After not shooting yesterday's Daily Shoot assignment on "cold", I was determined to capture two assignments today, #287 and #288, in the same shot.  Using the light painting inspiration from Crow, I pulled out the ice drawer from the freezer, threw in some glow sticks and shot away.  As predicted, it took about 50 shots to get a good one (IMHO).
