Photography – Page 68 – Daffodil Hill Photography

Today I had about an hour to play with in between varies chores and social obligations. I grabbed my D60 and an old Nikon 35mm film camera lens and set off to get some snaps in. I do not know about all cameras but when you mate a manual film camera lens with a modern DSLR the light metering can be less than optimum. So I snagged an app for my iPod that came in very handy today. The first photo is an unedited but slightly cropped shot from today. The second is what the app looks like on my iPod. I will try it out with my extension tubes as I shot macro later this Spring.

Still Waiting

Spring is here but today it was gray once again. So what is a person to do while one is still waiting for green and blooming things? Go to the way-back-files for hope of things to come. Here is one from a summer past.

Mood Light

I have not had a good day taking snaps for sometime now. Weather, and gray days being the biggest obstacle to this fair weather photographer, have me searching else where. So where does one find inspiration? Inside a public restroom. Really I can’t make this stuff up. This light is the light inside the bathroom of one of my favorite art galleries Wild Earth Gallery. I saw an old brick wall joined with a newer drywall cover wall and both illuminated by a modern yet lantern like light and Ta Da: A Mood Light of Inspiration in the Winter desert.

Being Irish Once A Year

The Bride and I have Celtic roots though they be a wee bit distant. Once a year we get to feed those Celtic roots with a bit of music, food and laughter. Here are some pictures of us being Irish once a year.
