  • Royal Paulownia Leaves<br /> <br /> These trees spring up everywhere in Atlanta. I've read they are so invasive that most people here are happy to "cultivate" Paulownia with Roundup! Although, the flowers are honestly quite fragrant.
  • Still Life
  • Draw!<br /> <br /> Ellen's sketching skills improve. It was fun to see how she was doing the shading... smudging with her thumb and so forth. I don't think anyone has taught her. She tells me she just doodles and was recently pleased that she figured out 'noses'. While waiting for dinner tonight, she sketched this for us on the paper they had down on the table top.
  • Guinness<br /> <br /> This evening was Margaret's first prom. So, Amy and I took comfort together at Slate Table & Tap in downtown Roswell.<br /> <br /> I will add that the photo is rotated 180deg. It was easier for me, while simultaneously holding the camera and glass, to have the light opposite me casting a shadow towards me. In the posted photo, it is reversed.<br /> <br /> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Slate-Table-and-Tap/218386154844124">https://www.facebook.com/pages/Slate-Table-and-Tap/218386154844124</a>
  • Nikon 1 J1 On Canon 5D Mark II<br /> <br /> Ellen's new toy... hardly. This compact system camera almost costs what my Canon 20D did 9 year ago. And the capabilities are staggering by comparison. A favorite of ours is the high speed video. We shot water falling into a glass at 400 frames per second. Will post a link in the next few days.<br /> <br /> Okay, here's the link... <a href="http://www.chromanovus.com/Favorites/Some-Favorites/7511086_jw8LGX#!i=1812222645&k=NRxW4Dw">http://www.chromanovus.com/Favorites/Some-Favorites/7511086_jw8LGX#!i=1812222645&k=NRxW4Dw</a>
  • Ethereal Seating
  • Flash Splash<br /> <br /> Its simplicity belies my struggle to capture the effect. I had originally imagined somthing completely different. But I'll go with this one for today.
  • Screen
  • Brindle Fur<br /> <br /> Our Greyhound Penny let me photograph her fur this evening. The boy, Percy, who also has a brindle coat, would not hold still long enough. His fur is not as fine and would probably have made a better texture.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brindle">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brindle</a>
  • Reflecting Reflections<br /> <br /> Amy and I got out on the town last night to see Stephen King's new play 'Ghost Brothers of Darkland County'. <br /> <br /> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_Brothers_of_Darkland_County">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_Brothers_of_Darkland_County</a><br /> <br /> So, no pics from the big camera... just the iPhone. These pansies were outside of Colony Square just across Peachtree from Woodruff Arts Center.
  • Happy 15th B-Day With Friends!

  • My Dark Master<br /> <br /> Bow down before the one you serve...
  • Sunrise<br /> <br /> This morning I went over to check the lock on the front door before leaving for work. Again, the sunrise was there streaming in through the beveled glass. Here's the pattern on the opposite wall.
  • Fluid
  • Bride & Groom<br /> <br /> These Champagne flutes have been in our china cabinet. They almost never come out. The other day, I saw them in a sunbeam scattering light in all colors. If only I could get them to look like that in a flash.
  • Where Is Everyone?<br /> <br /> Our last Lacrosse game was rained out this evening. I think the senior girls were pretty sad about that. It was, however, for the best. On the way there, I drove through a torrent with sporadic lightning. And the field had standing water. <br /> <br /> He was the only one who showed up to watch...

  • Coin of the Realm<br /> <br /> Actually, two realms represented. Just a little depth-of-field experiment tonight.
