Random Saturday: Jones!
It is late in the day, but it is STILL Saturday, and therefore there is still time to get in a picture for Random Saturday.
Jones Soda always have different pictures on their pop bottles. When I saw this one on a root beer, well... could YOU have left that face at the store? I certainly couldn't!

Random Saturday: Smilie
I recently had to open a new jar of peanut butter, and this is what I found when I took the foil off!
Happy eats to you too!

A different kind of subject for colours
Colours of fall don't only exist outdoors, they also show up in glorious fashion indoors - particularly in the kinds of foods we eat in the fall.
This weekend I made a wonderful chili - but capturing it "on film" was very hard! Daylight was gone, so I tried a variety of ways to transmit those rich colours in to a photograph - red from the tomatoes, beans and red pepper, yellow corn, orange pepper, and black beans. Tasty fall harvest colours!
In the end, this was taken using a manual white balance setting for "tungsten" lights, as that seemed to do the best job of compensating for the lighting. Other attempts turned the whole thing a rather unhealthy red, or else unappetizingly grey. I still don't think I quite got it, and I may try again if I get home while there's still enough natural light.

Welcome!
Here we go, the first post! My goal in this blog is to post a picture that I have taken, every day. The picture won't always have been taken on that specific day - if I aim for that, I think I'm setting myself up for failure right from the start! Some days I just won't have the time or inclination to take any pictures, but I have a lot of interesting shots from the past that I can share with you.
Without further ado, picture 1!
This one comes from a photography class I've been taking. The assignment was to photograph the images evoked by a poem. The line I was trying to capture here says "More than all these, ah yes,/More than all these". Like grains of rice, or sand. I love how sharp some of these grains are in the center. I really feel like my macro skills are coming along quite well - now to work on the lighting skills to go with it!
