Glowing Pockets

Was playing around with my off camera flash while at pool the other day:

Playing pool with long exposure

Went to play pool for brunch like we do every Sunday and took the chance to re-take a picture I tried last weekend.  Only with much better results since I have a better grasp on what I am doing with the settings. (Click for big)

Break shot with the following settings:

Nikon D3000, F/22, 20 Sec Exposure, ISO-100, No Flash, 35mm Focal Length.  Minor tweaks in Adobe CS2.

Red Dead Redemption and Hard Labor

Just a quick post to let you know I haven’t dropped off the face of the planet (again).  The last few weeks have been spent diving into Rockstar’s new Red Dead Redemption and doing a bit of hard time demolition work in my back yard.  I hope to get a review of RDR up soon as I am probably about 50% through it now.  Initial reaction:  Amazing, go get it and expect to spend most of your free time wandering around New Austin.  Speaking of free time, in the back yard, I am tearing down the above ground pool that has lingered in all it’s ghettoness back there and it’s time for it to go.  So I bought a new saw (Dewalt 13 amp Reciprocating Saw) and I am carving it up like a turkey.  Hopefully I can take in the scrap metal and get some good cash out of it.

Also, we picked up a new car!  We traded in the Honda Fit and got a Ford Escape Hybrid model.  2010 with all the bells and whistles.  For a gadget geek like me it’s even got the Microsoft Sync stuff for integration with my phone.  I might even do a little bit about that later, but I wanted to keep this short.  So keep your eyes out for a full review of RDR and next on deck is Alan Wake! (which is sitting in all it’s shrink wrapped glory taunting me)
