shadomanda, so I thought that called for a celebratory picture.
For the record: we used a cake bottom for the candles, and ate an actual other cake...

From a purely technical viewpoint, this is a horrible photo. But it amuses me to no end how, due to using flash and a 1 second exposure, I ended up with a laser-eyed alien cat that's ghosting through the room (notice how you can still see the flower pot through Sam's tail.

Still life with tulips
Mar. 19th, 2011 01:15 pmTaken during my experiment-with-photography phase: a still life with tulips. All natural lighting. Also fitting today because spring is finally in the air.
The last few New Year's Eves the weather was foggy and wet, which doesn't make for good fireworks photos. Since I can't be sure if I'll be able to grab some tonight—it's sunny now, but they predict yet again fog and drizzle for later—here are some taken on a clear night in 2006/2007.
These were all done by simply aiming the camera to the part of the sky where I expected fireworks to explode at some point, and using long exposures (these range between 2 and 4 seconds). You end up with a LOT of black sky photos that way, but also some interesting shapes and bursts.
( And two more )
