Day 274 of 366
My 3yo daughter at her dance class. The lighting in this space is not great, so this was the best I could do with it.
Why Compelling
The fact that I got something out of this lighting and location that met my minimum creative goals was worthwhile. The soft -

Day 273 of 366
The only photo taken today. Crow chaos.
In-camera motion blur.
Why Compelling
The painterly effect I hope. It was the only shot I took today, so it is what it is. But it works well enough for me to post for the day too.

Day 272 of 366
Sunrise, fog lifting, single dandelion head. Thought this made for a nice photo for today.
This is cropped tighter than shot with an 85 1.8 and 32mm extension tube.
I only took two lenses on this trip; 30 1.4 & 85 1.8 and a D300 with the battery vertical remo -

Day 271 of 366
Light caught my eye as sunset approached, then went into the timothy hay to see what was there. This big grasshopper made for a nice subject. This is as framed with an 85 1.8 and 32mm extension tube.

Day 270 of 366
Took the train to Seattle this morning. Then went for a two hour walk around downtown. This is as-framed and shot in Occidental Park in Pioneer Square area. Public art that caught my eye for just this approach.
I only took two lenses on this trip; 30 1.4 & 85 1. -

Day 269 of 366
Some backlit leaves that caught my at a brief stop on my way home.
Why Compelling
I like the backlight here. I really was not pleased with the default color, but did not think the B&W was all that compelling. The two merged together this way worked bett -

Day 268 of 366
Choosing how to see your world. Color exposures and IR exposures and how I planned to merge them together.
Playing catchup from being out of town with no computer access, internet or anything but a camera.
Why Compelling
This location was chosen, and t -

Day 267 of 366
Infrared photo taken at lunch today.
Why Compelling
This tree is compelling, but only at a certain angle for me. The color was not compelling at all for me. But in infrared with some clouds really worked out well for me here. I really like the way it came -

Day 266 of 366
First day of fall.
100 photos to go for this project.
Thought this made a nice statement for the color that is yet to come for this fall.
Two exposures, one for the foreground and one for the background.
Why Compelling
I really think this came -

Day 265 of 366
Shot during a family portrait session this evening.
Why Compelling
I love the light, the eyes and the little smile. Not always easy to control such a shot, so this one is a keep from this day for sure.

Day 264 of 366
The only shot worth posting for this busy day. Still like it, as the weather made the lighting pretty boring for much of any other ideas.
Why Compelling
This was a bit of a let-down today. I had very little time for photography and even less inspiration for -

Day 263 of 366
Sunrise on some large Golden Delicious apples.
Why Compelling
The morning light was compelling for me. Balancing it with the fruit was my goal. I think it came out well and met my goals for the shot. There are possibly 100 other ways to approach this con -

Day 262 of 366
My son. Waking up from a deep sleep, mad and in need of a preventative nebulizer treatment (keeping an asthma attack away with this current cold bug).
He was better within 20 minutes and back to normal and back to a restful sleep.
ISO6400, hand-held 70-200 in the -

As shot. The color is as it looked right out of the camera. Hazy sunset due to a local forest fire.
Why Compelling
Simple approach, great light, natural color, careful exposure.
I like it.

Day 260 of 366
Kaffir Lilly after sunset. The fly on the upper part was a bonus find.
Why Compelling
I love the lighting, it is what let me to take this photo. The different flower is striking to me too. The whole shot came together as I had hoped.

Day 259 of 366
The color and light struck me for a photo op. Strawberry leaves.
Why Compelling
I like the colors. The red leaves add a spark to the normal green color. The lighting was working, which led me to see this potential shot.

Second senior portrait session for this client. This setup was at a local baseball field, this being one of the last setups for the evening.

Day 257 of 366
Summer rains? Kind of.
This is a sprinkler in the neighborhood near sunset. I loved the light and blur from the droplets.
Why Compelling
I saw this shot and knew it would make a compelling photo. The falling "rain" in the light and th -

Day 256 of 366
Taken during a scouting mission at an upcoming senior portrait shooting location.
If I did not tell you what this was, could you tell?
(A pitcher's mound) ;-)

It is so different. An everyday object, but so different. I -

Day 254 of 366
Training partners pass by after using them for a product/lifestyle shoot. Some intentional shutter speed blur. I liked the red, green, blue combo.

Day 253 of 366
A fun departure from reality. IR base image and exposure bracketed normal exposure for creative merge in post.
2 minute exposure, 87b filter.

Sunrise wakeboarding for a high school senior portrait session.
This shoot was a lot of fun, preceeded and followed by a short portrait session on some docks and a local state park.

Day 248 of 366
8 minute exposure.
Have not shot much IR since my IR modified D70 died. This is with a stock D300 with an 87b filter on the front element. Not very IR sensitive, thus the long exposure even though it was mid day.

As framed, processed in Lightroom 2 & CS3.
