Frivology

I’m heading out here, to Death Valley for a few days for another little photo safari. The last time I went, it was the beginning of June and scorching hot. This time around is a little better planned for the weather, and hopefully we’ll get to see some wildflowers. I just got a killer set of new extension tubes that I’m just dying to try out on something other than the plants outside my apartment door. The second picture above is a preview of what I can do with my new macro goodies.

It’s really great stuff and a ton of fun. I’ll be returning home Sunday night, but likely not really around until Monday. Until then, I’ve added another blogger to Frivology who goes by the name of ‘Articulett’. I met her on the Richard Dawkins forum and I’ll let her introduce herself, but I find her to be absolutely brilliant.

Until Monday!

I’ve been learning how to use my D300 and how to take better shots.  Yesterday, I went for a walk with my camera and left it on manual the whole time.  I’m starting to feel more and more comfortable with my photography, especially with this complex of a camera, and, not surprising, the more I learn the less complex it is.  I’ll be heading to Death Valley in a week and a half for one of my photo vacations, my first with the D300.   Hopefully it’ll turn out well!

I wish I got weird-assed emails like these.  Surely, it would make my days more entertaining: 

Also if you have kids. when you lay your baby on the side, you crush the ears.The head is the heaviest part of the body at that stage. So you need to put a hole in the pillow or something, so the ears do not get crushed. You will have a much happier baby.

All comes from the ALMIGHTY FATHER,OUR LORD JESUS Christ and THE HOLY SPIRIT. i am just a worker.

Please look at the physic’s in all of this. To have a strong foundation,your structure has to be rectified.

If this could get out to the world. It will solve so many problem’s we face on this planet.

A program needs to be set up.

The problems are inside us. And here is the solution.

PS: Once you complete the seven week’s,look to the light, any light. Because evil will come after you. Safe journey.

via Pharyngula: I get email.

It sounds like someone had a lucid dream and decided it was real.

Snapped a few pictures with my Coolpix for fun today of some free flowers I got at work for Valentine’s Day, then I played with them a bit in Picasa just for the fun of it.
