La Fourchette

- This picture is a take off on a very famous photograph by André Kertész one of my favorite masters of the art of light. Certainly not up to the master's standards but OK for a Droid X camera phone and thirty people in a tiny restaurant watching. We had a great diner tonight at Voilà with our friends Susan and Duane. French cooking was appropriate since Kertész made his famous photo in Paris in 1928. Cindy gets an assist for holding the folk in place just outside of the frame. Droid X, 1/15 sec @ f/2.8, ISO 800, converted to black & white in Lightroom 3.

Rearview Sunset

- Always check your mirrors! Canon G11, 1/200 sec @ f/5.6, ISO 200.

Curb Service

- Another photo from Norfolk Virginia's landmark drive-in still featuring curb service. This is Doumar's, home of first ice cream cone machine at twilight with the Norfolk Coca Cola bottling plant in the background. They say things go better with Coke but in the case of Doumar's a fresh made Limeade is called for. Canon G11, 1/40 sec @ f/3.5, ISO 400.

Salt 'n' Pepper

- Literally. Canon G11, 1/10 sec @ f/2.8, ISO 800, in macro mode, converted to B&W in Lightroom 3.

Cold Light

- I was trying for a photo that captures a cold and wet January day. Canon G11, 1/500 sec @ f/5.6, ISO 200 converted to black and white in Lightroom 3.

Sunset Silhouette

- Winter trees silhouetted by the setting sun. Canon 7D, 1/160 sec @ f/7.1, ISO 800, 50mm prime lens.

Couple in Arms

- This is a new 5 ton, 36-foot tall stainless steel sculpture entitled "Couple in Arms" by Maryland artist Rodney Carroll. It is located in Norfolk Virginia near the intersection of Ballentine and Virginia Beach Boulevards and is a part of the Broad Creek Linear Park. The setting sun cast a nice warm glow necessitating a need for me to stop and make a photo on my way home from work today. Canon G11, 1/200 sec @ f/8.0, ISO 200.
