LEDs

- An array of LEDs makes up the latest addition to my photo lighting tools. So I thought it appropriate it to feature it in a photo before putting it to work in creating more photos. Canon 40D, 1/4000 sec @ f/5.6, ISO 800, 100mm macro lens.

Descending

- Our office building in Norfolk Virginia used to have some pretty dingy stairwells. Well last summer they got a fresh paint job, steps and all. So dingy is the last word the comes to mind now. Canon G11, 1/100 sec @ f/4.0, ISO 800.

RGB

- The RGB color model is an additive color model in which red, green, and blue light are added together in various ways to reproduce a broad array of colors. Color computer displays are built using this approach. In this super macro close up of my computer monitor you can clearly see the red, green and blue pixels side by side as they make up the color image. When enlarged this much its hard to tell what the display is actually showing. Anyone care to make a guess? Canon 40D, 1/13 sec @ f/2.8, ISO 800, 65mm macro lens.

Phillips

- Henry F. Phillips commercialized the crosshead self-centering screw design that today bears his name. The Philips screw was first introduced by GM on its 1936 Cadillac assembly line and rapidly sweep through the U.S. auto industry. Today it is still the most popular screw design in use. This is a 4X macro photo of a very small precision Pozi Drive #0 Phillips bit. Notice the wear and grain in the stainless steel. Canon 40D, 1.3 sec @ f/16, ISO 800, 65mm MP-E macro lens.

Water Glass

- Filling a water glass with illumination provided only by the water dispenser's LED light. Canon 40D, 1/8 sec @ f/5.6, ISO 400, 100mm macro lens, remote shutter release.

Tree Twig Font

- How do you like my new tree twig font? Got the one's down, now only 35 more characters to go. Happy New Year. Canon 40D, 1/1000 sec @ f/5.6, ISO 100, 100mm macro.

The Cat's in the Bag

- Sherlock just loves to investigate a bag. May be he's looking for Brand Names, Closeout Prices! Cindy called me in to capture the moment this morning. This is my 730th straight photo a day blog post. 2009 was take and post a new picture everyday, while 2010 saw only about half of the posts with pictures taken the same day. The rest came from my archives. Thanks for following and commenting for the past two years. Canon G11, 1/80 sec @ f/4.5, ISO 1600.
