I See(m) Red...

Portraits: definitely not my thing. Especially self-portraits. Eek.
So when Jorj posted "A Portrait" as this week's subject for the Photo Hunt, I blanched. I mean, the Hunt's been hard enough this season without having to shoot something I'm not into and don't think I'm particularly good at.
No wonder I'm angry!
But this Friday night, a bunch of the Philadelphia Area Photobloggers got together in Center City, and I saw an opportunity: the light from restaurant sign across the street was coming in through the window, and I thought it might make for a dramatic shot.
I might post more of my "typical" shots from that night here soon. Also - look for more on my Flickr page.

Trippy Rose

This past summer I was playing with the macro setting on New Camera, trying to get a good shot of the blooms on our rosebush. For reasons I'm still not sure of, I couldn't get the exposure settings to sync-up, resulting in shots like the one above.
In the words of the immortal Bob Ross: "We don't make mistakes, we have happy accidents."

I'm using this for this week's Photo Hunt .

Lighthouse Shadow

I dug this Old Camera shot from our 2005 Cape May trip for the week 6 Photo Hunt subject: a shadow. This was taken through one of the Cape May Lighthouse's windows, about two-thirds of the way up.
