  • Day 49. August 26, 2010. While walking down Bryant St. in Downtown Palo Alto, I found this gorgeous leaf on the ground. By evening when I took this, it had already dried up somewhat, but it still retained most of its bright colors. I soaked it in water for about 5 minutes, then placed it on a black cloth. There's a weak, diffuse on-camera flash, and a moderate flash from behind the leaf to the right that shines through the leaf. Burned bottom right corner in post-processing, and sharpened.<br /> <br /> EF 100mm f/2.8L IS Macro @ f/3.5. 1/125s. ISO 100. 580EX II at 1/64 power, 430EX II from behind right at 1/16 power.
  • Day 60. September 6, 2010. Even though I took plenty of shots of the standard DC sights, I promise to not bore everyone with my copies of those same cliched pictures. So, here is another location on the National Mall, but one that gets much less lens traffic. This is the concourse connecting the East and West wings of the National Gallery of Art. The giant matrix of lights on the walls are densely packed, almost like an LCD screen, and generate mesmerizing patterns as you move down the moving walkway. There was another lady taking shots at the other end. Neither of us had a tripod handy, so we had a good time brainstorming ways of improvising camera supports.<br /> <br /> EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 @ 13mm f/9. 1/20. ISO 1000.
  • Day 73. September 19, 2010. From a friend's backyard that's a haven for macro photography.<br /> <br /> EF 100mm f/2.8L IS Macro @ f/7.1. 1/160s. ISO 400.
  • Day 100. October 16, 2010. Just had to post this out of order because it's day 100! This was on a climbing trip to Castle Rock, just southwest of Palo Alto.<br /> <br /> Posting takes time, but I'll be caught up soon! There's such a huge backlog of RAWs just sitting on my hard drive right now waiting to be edited and posted.<br /> <br /> EF 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 @ 10mm, f/6.3. 1/320s. ISO 320. Grad ND-0.6, and polarizer filter used.
