Shenandoah Valley rained out
Sometimes the best laid plans are thwarted by nature. In this case it was rain. I went to the Shenandoah Valley to cycle and make photographs but alas my camping curse struck again. Just too much rain to whip out the cameras for any real photographs. I guess I'll need to go back.
I had hoped to come home with a decent size body of work that illustrated the simple life of the Shenandoah Valley. I'm starting to plan my fall trip now!
Ms. Raleighwood is gone
Went by on one of my many coffee runs to Helio's Cafe where I usually pass Ms. Raleighwood. This particular day the second hand shop where she had worked all day had a "Going out of business" sign on the front and the moving truck was present. I rather enjoyed seeing this one-armed eclectic dummy enticing shoppers off of West Street in Raleigh.
Good luck to the business owners. Sorry you went out of business.
Failed experiment
or not?
I have had a photo in my head of a wine splash for a long time. Well, I didn't get the photo but I did get the splash. Anyone know how to remove red wine stains?
Nikon D300 with Alien Bee 800. 6 second exposure with the strobe activated by a sound trigger.
1/11/10 Follow UP: I know what I'm doing wrong. I need a slight delay to capture the splash. About a 1/4 second delay from the trigger to the actual flash going off. Now to find a delay unit for my sound trigger...
…random views: Tree farm and flea market
Some random shots I took recently. Both shot with Olympus E-P1 using it's built in art filters. In this case, pop art and grainy B&W.
The sunlight was just right as it crossed over a large bin of ornamental iron at the Raleigh Flea Market.
Out building at the Jordan Lake Tree Farm.
