March 26, 2008 (2 of 3) The Cork Collection I could've made this setup larger, but I got tired of standing up all the corks in the checkerboard pattern. The cats also wanted to play with the corks. I took a dozen shots of these corks, and for the most part I had a larger DoF. However, I had to try one at f/2.8 just for the sake of having choices later on. The smaller DoF in this shot gives me the feeling that the corks go on forever. One of these days I'm going to buy some real lighting equipment. In the mean time, I'm using the base of an old lava lamp. It works.
March 26, 2008 (1 of 3) Dying Tulips. This is SOOC for the most part. I adjusted the blacks and saturation just a touch. Here's Another Shot of a different tulip with more pedals. I took a couple days off from the Daily photos, so I'm hoping to make up for those today.
March 23, 2008 I took some photos, but none of them were very appealing today, so I went abstract for the day. This is the tip of a closed tulip. Here's Another Shot of the same flower the following day, when it opened up.
