Day 38 - Capital Bikeshare


I love the lines and colors of all these bikes lined up outside the MLK Library in downtown Washington, DC.

Day 29



My challenge this week is to use my Lensbaby lens.  Particularly when using it with the macro attachment, it is a challenge because the focal point can really move around.  I made it extra challenging today shooting small flora on a windy day.  The top photo is a flower seed head I think, with all the seeds blown off into the wind.  I may revisit this one with a regular macro lens.  The bottom one is a bit of post-processing trickery.  The flower is really bright orange in the petals.  To highlight the center (and in focus) portion, I used Lightroom to selectively change the levels of exposure for the petals.  A little clunky - you can see some of the orange still in the petals, but it does put more emphasis on the center portion.

Day 28 - post 2 - Fall Caught


We put up some fake spider webs for Halloween decorations outside and this leaf was caught up in a section of it today.

Day 28 - Found My Marbles?


Playing around with my Lensbaby lens and some of my son's marbles.  I want to try this again and work on the extraneous reflections in the close-up marble.

Day 27 - Color Stretch


I didn't have much time to shoot to day, but I managed a quick shot in the library.  The stretch effect is really just the depth of field at play here - no computer trickery.
