the next 7 days

i honestly didn't mean for that to happen with the titles, being so dramatic and all. it just happened that i blogged about pictures when those time frames were available.

there are a few explanations here, so including those with thumbnails will just about max out my patience for HTML tonight.

here goes.

me, siblad

something about the composition of this picture makes it really compelling. not to mention that it's of me. i like how i look, but i also really like the clarity and the lighting.

me, siblad

the fact that one image came in fairly strong, and the fainter ghost image is so much softer, makes this almost eerie. and again, i love the lighting.

perspective, auto settings, abstract, household

i really enjoy how the proximity to the object, as well as the colors, make it super-surreal. the camera did a nice job balancing the purple plastic with the fluorescent light on the silver paint in the background, as well as adjusting for the fluorescent's tint.

leland, kenmore, daylight, colors, shutter, blur, exposure

this is a new setting i've never played with before. it's called "+/- Exp" and basically i think it adjusts the exposure length and adjusts the aperture automatically.

this is as opposed to the "Tv" setting, which allows you to adjust the shutter length (up to minutes, i think) and the camera tries to adjust the aperture automatically, although i don't think it's as good.

i like the fact that the background colors appear washed out, but the stop sign's red and the yellows still came out pretty boldly.
