Two photos for "everyday objects". The first -- three objects on my desk that I see every day.

I've been swamped since school started, and to top it all off, I lost my camera battery charger! But here are a few photos just in the nick of time for the amnesty window. One above the cut, two below.

Butterfly
Prompt: Animals - I took a number of nice butterfly shots back in July. This was one I hadn't uploaded at all yet.

I love light. And of course, light is what makes photography possible. But there is a certain time of day when the quality of light is just perfect and it makes me itch for my camera.

This first picture is possibly more about the solid subject than it is about light, but it captures pretty well the kind of light I like the best. Sort of full & almost golden.

Ball jar & beer

I really dropped the ball on photographing this week, which is a shame because I was really excited about this challenge! (I suppose I'll just have to keep shooting!) But I do have this one to post - a close-up of the print decoration on my ukulele!

We're on vacation this weekend, way out in rural Kentucky. So here are two photos from this weekend.

Late afternoon


This just seems so relaxed & cozy. Somehow the shadows & shade make it moreso.

...wtf? )

So many of my photos are digital macro shots of flowers. What can I say? It's my weakness.

Purple flower


We just got back from a big trip to Salt Lake City, and I took about 200 photos while we were out there! You can see a selection of them here.

Digital macro is by far my favorite setting on my Canon SD630. I love getting in as close as possible to the subject, and I especially love the results you can get when photographing plants and flowers. So here are two shots from my garden, both taken with the macro setting!

Flax blossoms

I've got two photos for you all! I just returned from lovely Madison, WI (where I attended the incredibly awesome WisCon 34. So here are two pictures I took while I was there.

First -- Communication about what roads (or streets!) I was walking on!

Street Signs

I don't know quite why, but I've been really brain blocked when it comes to photos lately. (Which, I know, is part of why I'm here! -__^) So tonight, I made myself just start shooting something, and this is what I wound up with.

Reflected Light


I did crop it a bit & boost the saturation -- the orange-y red glow really caught my eye. This is our kitchen light reflected through one of my favorite glasses.

I'm not sure entirely why, but this Aperture topic was a challenge for me! In the end, I took 2 photos that I am okay with. (Click through for bigger sizes!)

Quilt Stripes
