Condensed Globe
DNO_Dennis,
Lawrence of Berkley , and I took a drive out to Plymouth Michigan tonight looking for some good shots of the holiday lights. We ended up walking around Kellogg Park right in their downtown and struggling to find good subjects (probably about half the trees were not lit tonight). This was on one of the trees in that park, decorated by a local business. The condensation in the globe really gave it an interesting look.
Just Coffee?
Lawrence of Berkley,
L. Adams, and I hit the road Saturday morning for a little photo expedition. Along the way we drove through Bowling Green Ohio, home to Bowling Green State University and a cool little greasy spoon called "
The Corner Grill." We decided to try the place for lunch and were pleased to find that it was good, cheap food and had plenty of character to share. One of the things that drew us to the place was this great sign. It sadly only seems to work advertising their coffee, but I imaging this would have been awesome to see when it was working at 100%.
What's That Larry?
Lawrence of Berkley,
L. Adams, and I hit the road Saturday morning for a little photo expedition. Along the way we drove through Bowling Green Ohio, home to Bowling Green State University and a cool little greasy spoon called "
The Corner Grill." We decided to try the place for lunch and were pleased to find that it was good, cheap food and had plenty of character to share. Of course being a photo expedition though Larry and I had to bring the cameras in with us. So as we waited for the food to arrive we played with the variety of subjects (including each other) and the few lenses we brought in. For some reason though, Larry didn't seem to approve of this shot.
Compound Licorice Powder
Lawrence of Berkley,
L. Adams, and I hit the road Saturday morning for a little photo expedition to the
Wood County Historical Museum. They had one of the bedrooms of the infirmary set-up as their general store exhibit and it provided a few interesting subjects. This tin for "Compound Licorice Power U.S.P." was curious though -- what might our ancestors have thought licorice could cure? The Christmas decorations blocked access to some of the other subjects though so I think we'll be making another trip once they reopen in the spring.
Lightship Huron and It's Many Lights
Adalay,
Lawrence of Berkley, and I hit the road Sunday afternoon for Port Huron in hopes of testing the new
AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II. Since darkness fell so early though I thought I'd take a crack at grabbing the
Lightship Huron with it's holiday lights and Santa on the pilot house. It was cold and rendered the same problems with obstructions as I recall from my
earlier attempts, but overall I'm happy with the results.
