153 - Mr. Peabody

From 365 Project

You'd need the Way Back Machine to save this old camera store. The former Camera City location in Hampton Virginia is reduced to dust and rumble and loaded into a bright shiny demolition company trailer under the watchful eye of Mr. Peabody. While Camera City survives at a new location around the corner, I could not resist the metaphor for what has happen to local camera stores. Canon G10, 1/400 sec @ f/8.0, ISO 100, 44mm equivalent focal length.

152 - Fallen Sentinel

From 365 Project

The old fire hydrant stood watch for many years at this abandon industrial complex. Looks like a careless driver dealt the fatal blow. Canon G10, 54mm equivalent focal length, 1/500 sec @ F/5.6, ISO 200.

151 - Night Light

From 365 Project

The street lights and stoplights sparkle in this long exposure of a night street scene. A ghostly bicyclist leaves a wobbly read streak from his taillight. Canon 40D, 55mm, 5 secs @f/20.0, ISO 100 mounted on a tripod.

150 - Rutgers Dogwood

From 365 Project

This is the large bloom of the Stellar Constellation Dogwood one of Rutgers hybrids developed by Dr. Elwin Orton at Rutgers University. These are a cross between American and Kousa (Chinese) dogwoods. They have larger blooms, bloom later and are disease resistant. Picture taken at the historic College Avenue Campus in New Brunswick, New Jersey. Canon G10, 1/500 sec @ f/4.5, ISO 200 in macro mode.

149 - New Egypt

From 365 Project

Nothing like old Egypt - we went to visit the Laurita Winery in New Egypt, New Jersey today. It was beautiful country and the vineyard was very relaxing especially in contrast to yesterday's chaotic trip to the Statue of Liberty. Denise gave us a private tour of the whole facility and the wine was great. Canon 40D, 28mm, 1/1600 @ f/5.0, ISO 200.

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.
