Really deep...



I've been less than excited to have to return this lens I borrowed from a friend at work.  It has captured some beautiful images for me.  This flower (type unknown) was spotted during my weekend run.  I subsequently chopped it off it's stock and brought it home to Leah.  Immediately following that presentation, I took it from her to photograph and then it died.  There could be a really REALLY deep life lesson in here...

Morning Commute



On my way to work I noticed this shot.  I pulled over to get into the trunk where my G10 was in order to use it for this shot.  Wouldn't you know it, as soon as I turn it on, I get the "replace battery" prompt.  Therefore I had to utilize my iPhone again. 

I think the three palm trees make this shot.  I like how it seems like they are the single items causing the streaks across the clouds above them.  Lesson learned, get an extra battery pack...  and always have a backup plan.

Waiting...


Like these surfers, I'm just waiting for some action.  I know it's going to come, but I'm anxious.

Yes Robert, I'm using a macro lens as a telephoto, but it's working.  (Canon's 100mm Macro at 2.8 for 1/3000s (jeez, really?!?) ISO 800) I helped out the color a little in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2.  Can't say enough good things about this product and I can't wait until number 3 comes out.
