148 - Liberty

From 365 Project

Visited the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island for the first time today accompanied by about 5000 middle school students. Arrgghh!!! It was overcast and misting, not a very good day for pictures. This one took considerable post processing work to be presentable. Canon 40D, 280mm, 1/125 sec @ f/11, ISO 200.

147 - Marble Flight

From 365 Project

These glass balls reminded me of the marbles I played with when I was a kid. The display of the glass balls suspended on strings was never intended to be viewed from the bottom up. Located outside of Christopher's at the Heldrich Hotel in New Brunswick, N.J. Canon G10, 11 mm equivalent focal length, 1/5 sec @ f/8.0, ISO 100, camera triggered with the self timer.

146 - Marching to Infinity

From 365 Project

These fallen soldiers will march on in perfect ranks for infinity. The Hampton National Cemetery, Phoebus Annex on the day after Memorial Day. Some of the 28,000+ flags still fluttering in the early morning breeze pay tribute to the memory of those who served our country. This section dates from the early 20th century and contains many Civil War veterans who died at the Hampton Old Soldiers Home - now the Hampton V.A. Hospital. Note the designation U.S.C.T. on Alvin Went's marker in this photo link. There are thousands of these markers at Hampton. Post a comment if you know what it stands for. Canon 40D, 8mm fish eye lens, 1/1600 sec @ f/8.0, ISO 200.

144 - Cool and Refreshing

From 365 Project

Summer is here, so I thought a photo that made you feel cool and refreshed was in order. This orange slice in sparking water creates just that feeling. Canon 40D, 50mm compact macro, 1/250 sec @ f/4.0, ISO 100. A little bright sunlight and some help from a reflector. Thanks Bryan Peterson for the creative macro lesson.

143 - Prism Effect

From 365 Project

I noticed this rainbow like prism effect on our foyer floor early this morning. A ray of morning sun coming through the beveled glass in the front door produced this colorful effect. It was gone in just moments, but not before my camera captured it forever. Canon G10, 11mm, 1/15sec @ f/2.8, ISO 400.

142 - Nothing Runs Like A Deere

From 365 Project

My grandson and his John Deere tractor work hard on the landscaping. Canon G10, 11mm equivalent focal length, 1/250 sec @ f/2.8, ISO 200.
