A peach past its prime.  Not yet moldy, but showing its age.

A preview of October in New England... Even the flowers know autumn is coming.  I have no idea what plant this is, but it was growing in bed at the apartment complex entrance.

*Mystery Solved! - Thanks CSPics, it does indeed seem to be some variety of Lantana.

Shot on a light gray table and composed as a 3 shot HDR.

Power.

In case you missed the news, the Canon 50D was announced today.  My Rebel XT is getting a little long in the tooth.  I would love to upgrade to the 5D replacement (it will likely be announced in late September), but it would be an expensive endeavor so the 50D is probably where I will be headed.

Nikonians: expect the D90 to be announced tomorrow.  It supposedly records HD video.

Another bonsai photo.  Our Suriname Cherry (eugenia myrtifolia) is flowering... and by flowering i mean it has two flowers.  I was surprised it flowered at all this year after loosing about half its foliage and roots in heavy pruning.  Apparently these cherries flower twice a year and have fruit which are edible.  The ants feel the flowers are as well.

I used HDR and Lab color adjustment to add similar depth like in the coffee cup picture.

If you look back on June 19th I took a photo of some flowers I got for Irene.  Well when cleaning today I found two petals from that had fallen off the orange flower.

As an experiment I tried focus stacking a few exposures.  I continuously find that the Sigma 70-300mm has it's limits.  It's sharpness falls off quickly from the center and the focus ring is really too soft for being very exact.  After a few tries, I am reasonably happy with this final image.

Taken with natural light from the window on a white poster board.

Back fill 1, back fill 2, and back fill 3.

Irene started a new job on Monday so i got her some flowers.  They provided for another nice organic shot.

Jeremy always says I should use the story telling apertures more so here's another.  I normally won't go above f/11 due to diffraction, but I tried a range of them.  I couldn't discern any quality loss in the shot so I went with f/22.

Another back fill.  A bit of an artistic photo... of art.

Other things have had my attention recently.  This is a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) on the back of a hard drive.

Unfortunately, the Celtics couldn't close out the series tonight so it's time to head home.  Go Green!

Video games make for great amusement and are certainly not just for children.  They also don't corrupt the young any more than the things your parents thought corrupted you at a similar age.  More than likely we are all destined to make the corruption statement at some point.

I liked this shot because of the connection between the reflection along with the webcam and what it could see.  Want to name the things you can see in the reflection?
