Why Not?

- We had dinner tonight at our favorite local pizza place, Ynot Pizza on Providence Road in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Our pizza of choice is always the 18 inch hand tossed with red sauce, spinach, feta cheese and tomatoes. Extremely satisfying! Canon G11, 1/80 sec @ f/4.0, ISO 800.

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.
