So today is totally random. This was a little treat from our boss. Well the last of the treats, there was another apple pie and a caramel sundae that was already consumed before I took this shot.

I actually didn’t shoot this. My friend shot this, and this image is highly edited. This was during possibly the greatest vacation I ever took. End of summer 2009, I went to the Pacific Northwest for a few days for fun and relaxation. It was all of that and then some. Just travelling without and stress is a worth ten times more than the cost of the trip itself.
My friend showed me around the Seattle area, and we took a drive down to Portland, Oregon for the day. On the drive back, we elected to drive towards the Pacific Coast Highway, to stop by the Pacific Ocean. We got there a few minutes before the sun started to set. I took a few shots of my own of the sun set, and little did I know my friend was taking photos of me taking photos of the scenery. I turned around and saw her, so I decided to take a pic of her also, and this was that photo. I ended up messing around wit it a bit in photoshop, and I made it look like i was shooting the sunset instead of me taking a picture of her.

And for comparisons sake, here is the original image, straight RAW conversion to JPG.
One of my fave shots during the ‘Where is Garfield Now’ era, or WIGN for short. I just did some play with some lights, and made one of my Alien toys, stalking Garfield.
I really ought to bring back a similar series. The original Pez dispenser is all beat up, so I should pick up another similar one.

Shot during my first month of owning the D700, and well, at a time where my hours were cut to 4 day’s every other week , hence giving me the opportunity to go out and shoot. I mostly ended up NY’s Central Park.
This particular one, I happen to catch a man preparing to play his portable piano. It wasn’t a keyboard, bit it was some sort of piano. I thought it would be a great shot to catch his silhouette, and use the rest of the park outside the arches as the backdrop. I don’t know, maybe now I might do it a little different.

My then usual nightly beverage, well it still is technically, but now instead of a Venti, it’s a Trenta. What is it?
it’s a passion Iced tea, no water, light on the ice, 2 equals. My home Starbucks, in Branchburg, NJ is the only place that gets it right, well, most of the barista’s get the mix right, although now, some have moved on, the newer ones still haven’t quite got the mixture right.
This drink I order from here exclusively, as they are the only ones to get it right.

Another “test” shot of my then new Canon Powerhot S95. This time trying out the HDR capabilities. Honestly, I cannot say how I like it, as I personally am not that crazy with HDR shots to begin with. I guess it can have some uses if done in the right circumstances.

Quite surprised I was able to hand hold this and get a fairly sharp shot.
it’s my old VW Rabbit’s dash, and I revved up the engine on the end of the exposure to get that trail on the tachometer needle.

This was sort of an ad I did for a friend of a friend that owned a bakery. We did an impromtpu shoot of her cakes and what not, some of it ended up in their website. I wasn’t commisioned to do the ad, but I thought it would’ve been fun anyway, and this particular picture was one of my favorites from that shoot.
Sadly, the product itself is not edible, as it was simply made to look pretty.

I love macro photography, not so much as taking close up of bugs, and other tiny objects, which, don’t get me wrong, I also love to do, but, taking photos of normal sized things, but much much closer.
Like today’s RFPD.

One of the shots from my failed 365 set. This was close to my house, and as I driving, I happen to look that way, and saw some nice colours due to the setting sun. I stopped real quickly, and pulled out my Pentax K10D, and take a couple of frames.
Now I should’ve taken some 10 minutes and carefully shot it instead of just shooting it from inside my car. I’m overall not that pleased with the shot.
At the time thought I was still really learning more than anything else.
