Photo A Day 183: First day of the second half

by on Jul.13, 2010, under 365 Day, Macro, Reflections

So, I always enjoy blogging but I don’t generally have much to say.  About 6 months ago I started taking 1 photo each day.  The goal is to make it for a full year and I have made it thus far.  Good Days, bad days, and everything in between have been recorded.  I figured that this is about as interesting as I am going to get with my blog.  So I am going to try to post up every picture here with a little explanation to have some context one day.  Here is today’s:

This week’s theme is drops of water.  I managed to get some decent sunrise pictures but they were formulaic.  Instead, I sprayed down a plant and took a nice macro shot on a tripod to get really clear droplets.  Worked out surprisingly well.

Stopping Time

by on Apr.25, 2009, under Macro, Random

Since the first night I got my camera I started taking pictures of water from the faucet.  I have seen so many completely awesome shots.  It is amazing to see the surroundings through the drop of water.  Above was one specific drop using the macro lens I have.  Even though I have spent more time on drops of water than any other area of photos.  I have no idea why but this is my bane. Thanks to the digital-photography-school.com blog someone pointed out that flash is perfect for stopping time.  These are my tries at that.  Below is where I decided to highten my odds of getting a good few drops.
