Random Flickr photo of the day – September 14, 2012

Nothing special on this shot, just a quick test on how my then new Canon Powershot S95 would handle low light situations. It handled it pretty damn well. Prior to me getting the S95, I never cared much for point and shoots. But I got tired of lugging either my Nikon D700, or Pentax K20, so to relieve myself of carrying around bulky DSLR’s I did some research, and found the S95 to be a good grab and go shooter. I am pretty much in love with this little monster, and I will not hesitate to recommend this or any of it’s successors to anyone. Time and again, this has captured images just as good as my 2 DSLR’s, granted it’s still limited, but still packs a punch.

As you can see on the photo below, it captured the night scene fairly well.

Now, I may or may not be able to post for the next few days.

Have a good weekend everyone!

Apologies for the absense of this post. I got caught up with work and a few other personal chores. But now back to our regularly scheduled randomness.

This was again, shot in 2009, when my buddy and I went all out and ate at Morimoto’s Restaurant in Philadelphia. I shot it from the entrance vestibule looking in, as it does have that ‘wow’ factor when you walk in. With changing colors on the lights, and a wavy, aquatic feel to the place. I just wish I didn’t include that thing in the middle, it sort of is a bit distracting, ok, it is distracting. Hopefully i’ll get another chance at dining there again. It is one of the best food experiences i’ve ever had, and I don’t even care I paid $250.00 for my half of the bill.

IT WAS THAT GOOD…

Possibly one of my favorite cars of all time, and one of the sexiest cars of all time, the Aston Martin DB9 is a thing a beauty. Granted this is the drop top version,it still looks absolutely stunning, and it was a treat for me to be able to photograph this DB9 unexpectedly during a Euro Car meet I was attending in Long Island. The owner has had some custom work done on it, with some carbon fiber body work, but it doesn’t detract from the overall beauty of this vehicle. Hopefully I can get together with the owner and take some more shots of this extremely sexy car.

Still digging through my 2009 pool. I sure as hell shot a lot that year. This was a bookstore located in Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia, PA. It’s at the very end of the market, and I found it out of place. Practically a market place full of food, and at the very end, stands a lonely book store. I processed it in black and white as I think it just adds some drama to the shot itself.

Maybe I should re-process it and add some grain, and some more hardness to it.
