107 - Red Rose

From 365 Project

The rose has always been valued for its beauty and has a long history of symbolism. The ancient Greeks and Romans identified the rose with their goddesses of love referred to as Aphrodite and Venus. Canon 40D, 1/1000sec at f/2.5, 50mm Canon Compact Macro.

106 - Peeling Paint

From 365 Project

The random nature of the paint peeling against the symmetrical pattern created by the underlying bricks caught my eye. This brick wall is over 100 years old and has obviously had more than a few coats of paint. But it will have no more paint as the building is scheduled for demolition later this year. Canon G10, 1/20sec at f/3.5, ISO 400. Converted to black and white using Silver Efex Pro.

105 - Crystal Votive

From 365 Project

Votive candles are small candles, originally intended to be burnt as a votive offering in a religious ceremony. This crystal votive holder was on our restaurant table where they have now become commonplace. Canon G10, ISO 200, 1/13sec at f/3.5, 22mm equivalent focal length in macro mode. Fired using the self timer to avoid camera shake.

104 - Red Hot

From 365 Project

Flame is always fascinating. This red flame comes from an old fashion oil lamp. I see a blue flame coming in a future post. Canon 40D ISO 200, f/11 at 1/100s using a Canon 85mm f/1.8 with the Canon Life-Size converter.

103 - Folds

From 365 Project

These sharp folds of light come from a glass lamp shade. The picture is significantly underexposed in order to overcome the harshness of the light bulb and bring out the details of the glass folds. Canon G10 ISO 100, 1/400 sec at f/8.0, 19mm equivalent focal length.

102 - That's a BIG Rabbit!

From 365 Project

My grandson was amazed by the giant Easter bunny at White's Nursery in Deep Creek, Virginia. Canon 40D, 1/320 sec at f/6.3, ISO 200, 28mm equivalent focal length.

To boldly go where no man has gone before - well not quite. This is the light over our table at the Red Robin Restaurant, Greenbrier Mall in Chesapeake, Virginia. Canon G10, 1/125 sec at f/5.6, ISO 400, 11,, effective focal length.
