Extra: The Boy

Almost delight, ennui

The Girl, in morning light...
f/2.8, 1/320 sec., 50 mm, ISO-400
...intently watching the TV. (How do they contort themselves that way? I could no more use my arm as a comfortable head rest than fly.)

Happy Accident
f/5.6, 1/8000 sec., 85 mm, ISO-100
The exposure on this shot is not anything that I can take credit for. In fact, shooting with the sun in front of me, I did not think I'd get a good shot and did not even check my settings from whatever they were for the last shot (with the sun behind me).
But I was captivated by the light on the water, with all it's movement from the gusting wind, and my contemplative Boogieman.
So I clicked. And I just love this shot.
ETA: Check out that shutter speed. Using aperture priority mode at f/5.6 and this is the exposure time it used. Wow. I heart my camera.
(This is a local park that is new to us that a friend tipped us off to. We went there after checking out the little cemetary. We have lots more pics from this park that I'll post on the Amped Eye soon. It was a great morning out with our cameras.)
General Jeremiah Crabb
I'm posting for Boogieman who is stuck in meetings all afternoon. Last week he told me that he had found a little cemetary near his office building. He and I share a reverance and love for cemetaries, particularly old ones.
Yesterday, we went to check it out. Boogieman took the "big" camera while I waited in the warm car. I think that it's the best feeling to be alone in a cemetary, and after all, it was his "find."
This little patch of sacred ground has been preserved with a white rail fence, even as residential neighborhoods and office buildings have been built all around it. Truly special.

He was born in Montgomery County, Maryland, in 1760. He served in the American Revolutionary War as second lieutenant in the First Maryland Regiment. He promoted to the rank of first lieutenant on December 15, 1777 and served as such until April 1, 1778.
He resigned on that day because of ill health occasioned by the winter hardships endured at Valley Forge. He was an extensive landowner in Montgomery County. He served as general with General Harry Lee in Pennsylvania during the Whiskey Rebellion.
Crabb was elected as a Federalist to the Fourth Congress and served from March 4, 1795, until his resignation after June 1, 1796. He returned to his home near Rockville, Maryland, and died there in 1800. He was buried in the family burial site in Derwood.

alter-ego, as fire hydrant
f/1.4, 1/1000 sec, 50 mm, ISO-100The original, ego. I think I should start a collection of these shots and correlate them to friends and family members. :)

Local Color
With the monochrome background of winter lurking everywhere, I got myself some flowers and stuck them on the counter of our store. They really do provide some cheer.
f/2.8, 1/30 sec, 50 mm, ISO-100
I got got my 28-135mm lens back today, so I thought I'd shoot the flowers with that lens too, and add these to the above shot, taken yesterday with the nifty fifty.
f/5.6, 1/8 sec, 135 mm, ISO-100
f/5.6, 1/6 sec, 135 mm, ISO-100
f/5.6, 1/10 sec, 135 mm, ISO-100
I really love the closer shots of the zoom at 135, but I have to admit I have a thing for the extreme selective focus shots and bokeh that the fifty can get...and this was at f/2.8, that thing is wicked at f/1.4. But it sure will be nice to return to the variety of the two lenses.

Self-Portrait Extra
courtesy of the security mirror in our store.
I was feeling kind of silly, and finally a bit happy, so I thought I'd capture it.
Oh, the face...where is the face? Here are the moody eyes of the day before yesterday.
The Stuff of Life
I'm sorry for all these home/store still lifes...I just did not get out this week, except to snap a few preliminary shots of some new locations. The weather has been grim and so has my mood. I hope to change that over the weekend.
I ask you, how many people do you know who have a shot of a vial of insulin resting on a stack of video games?
The lines between home and work get blurred when you own a store.
