Day-ninety-one...



Calm... What looks calm outside doesn't always mean it is on the inside, I heard this a long time ago from I don't know who, but as I looked outside my office window today it felt like it applied... as the wind blew the trees around and clouds looked like they were about to start storming I looked over at my blinds and saw well my blinds... not a movement, a sound, anything... food for thought... till tomorrow...

Day-ninety...



Tech... When working for a high-tech company you get to play with all sorts of toys... this sound equipment is all for just podcasts... I think its funny how much equipment is used for a simple podcast when I can create one on my iPhone, ohh well that's techno geeks for you... till tomorrow... enjoy...

Day-eighty-eight...



Woops... Sarah had a little bit of an accident with a metal halide bulb... the only casualty was this bulb, she's doing fine didn't hurt herself and the tank is doing just fine... on an upside the tank is looking sweet with the new bulbs...

I'm now officially caught up on this project 365... the toughest thing about this project is finding time to process and post daily which with my busy schedule is getting tougher and tougher, I always carry a camera with me where ever be it my DSLR, a P&S, or my iPhone... so finding something to take a picture of is never an issue... till tomorrow... enjoy...

Day-eighty-seven...



Cats... So I've been told that I've got to work on pet photography, so this is my attempt at it... so just a few tips from someone who has tried and come out with some decent shots like this... high-iso if you're shooting indoors, run motor-drive as they like to move around alot, try to preset your focus point on where you think they're going to go, and treats are a good way to bribe them to stay in place or at least a general area... so get out there an shoot some photos of your pets...

Day-eighty-five...



24-70... This is currently the most used lens on my D700, I know that a lot of folks think this a pretty boring range, my thought on this is that this range makes you a lazy photographer, and honestly I usually used the far ends of the zoom at either 24mm or 70mm if not that it was at or around 50mm... still a fairly useful lens for my purposes as I only carry one lens instead of 3, but it does make you think eh...
