Sunset on the go

This photo was taken through a dirty bus window (thus the spots). This is the result of burying you good camera at the bottom of your bag! 

This photo was a guinea pig for using the Aviary app on my phone to edit a picture. Adjusting contrast,  brightness, at saturation were incredibly simple. For quick edits, I'm already in love.

Pros: surprisingly sharp - I was expecting blurry since we were charging down the highway at 110+ km/hr

Cons: spots spots spots. Tilted horizon - or maybe that's just hills that make it look that way, but still. a little bit ick.

And Christmas isn't too far away, so if you're going to ask for one as a gift, you might want to do the research for yourself and ask for something very specific!

Cutting aluminum

An even faster shutter speed might have made this one even better. It was at 1/13, because the garage was sort of dark. The shavings at the sides are relatively in focus, while the bit in the center is just a blur of speed.

What's THAT for?

Admittedly, this is in reality a very large wrench to begin with.

All I did was change the angle I took the shot at. It makes the front look even larger than it already is, and makes the back look proportionally way too small. I like it!
