2010 Challenge - 3/12/2010 - Turn Table

1/160 f/6.3 52mm ISO 320 Flash bounce at +0. Lens and camera the usual. Converted to Black and White.

It has been a while since I last saw one of these. I was really attracted by the geometric pattern.

2010 Challenge - 3/11/2010 - Citizens!

1/160 f/6.3 24mm ISO 2500. Flash Bounce with a little fill (use about 1cm of white card) at +1. Lens and Camera - the usual.

Mom and Dad had their citizenship interview and test today. Mom called me at the end of the day - great news! Not only did they pass through the interview and test with flying colors, but they were eligible to be in a citizenship ceremony that afternoon. So no chance to send out the invites to the usual entourage. So here's to some new citizens! Congratulations.

To celebrate we went to a local Erie BBQ pit.

The ceiling was pitch black - not a good bounce surface. But I didn't want that blasted out look. I pulled up the white card (no more than 1cm) to give a little fill.

2010 Challenge - 3/10/2010 - Macro Set Up

1/160 f/7.1 55mm ISO 400. Bounce Flash +2/3. Lens and Camera the usual

Kevin was setting up his photo using this macro set up. I decided to take a photo of the set up.

2010 Challenge - 3/9/2010 - Christmas Cactus

1/160 f/7.1 85mm ISO 400 Bounce flash -2/3

Christmas Cactus doesn't like much water, but flowers with this beautiful flower.

2010 Challenge - 3/8/2010 - Potted Plant

1/160 f/7.1 85mm ISO 400. Bounce +0.

My workplace gave me this wonderful indoor potted plant. It has attracted aphids (I think.) So I brought it home for some treatment. I am using a solution of water and liquid soap and I am spraying the plant to see whether I can get rid of the insects.

2010 Challenge - 3/7/2010 Thaw

1/500 f/9.0 24 mm ISO 200

Today we went to St Vrain's State Park to see the state of the thaw. There was no ice fishing as the ice is now starting to melt and thin.

2010 Challenge 3/6/2010 - Pearl Street, Boulder CO

1/250 f/7.1 24mm ISO 250

Saturday was a beautiful day. Kevin and I went to Boulder to enjoy the day.

It was warm and the crowds were out enjoying it. Street musicians played in the open air. There is a definite feel of spring.

Didn't have much time to photo today. So here I took a photo of an ivy slip growing happily in a vase of water. I do not have green fingers. But I can grow ivy!

There is always some gadget lying around. I was intrigued with this so took a quick photo.
