I keep a couple packs of silica gel in my camera bag at all times. It helps to keep any moisture out of the camera.
It says not to eat it. What would happen if we ate a pack? Hmmm. I think a rat test is in order. LOL.

Today the girl discovered what happens when an unstoppable force (her) meets an immovable object (arm of couch). You get a bruised cheek.

164.365 Peace Offering.
Sunday June 13 2010.
A peace offering of a handful of sunflower seeds to the poor young squirrel whose crap I scared out when I snuck up on it.
Poor little guy. I've never seen a squirrel jump strait up before. I laughed so hard. Then he ran a couple of feet up a tree and tried to stare me down. LOL.

163.365 Jewel Encrusted Portrait.
Saturday June 12 2010.
A boy and his jewel encrusted castle on the beach. Well, it started out as a castle and ended up as more of a mound. He loves the beach.

Flickr Photographer Interview - Billy Fairchild
It seems I'm on a roll this week with interviews! I truly enjoy Billy's photography. I love to see how he sees the world. I think it reminds me of how I see the world (that should scare you Billy! LOL). Enjoy the interview and please check out his Flickr stream and his blog.

1 ) How long have you been interested in photography?
I had an instant interest in photography the moment that my parents bought me an old Kodak 110 camera when I was 5. I can remember being amazed with taking abstract viewpoints, and being so excited when they came back from being developed.
2 ) What got you started in photography?
See above I suppose lol, However professionally I started taking some classes and people started seeing my work. I was more into nature, abstract stuff at first. I never really wanted to do portraits, then in March of 2009 my 5 year old son passed away. I realized that portraits may not be able to save life, but it can really capture ones spirit and keep memories of them for years to come.
3 ) Do you have any photographers who's work you admire?
Honestly everyone's. I love seeing how each photographer has their own style. It's great.
4 ) What inspires you to make photographs?
Just a passion, it's like I get a giddy feeling when I see something that would look great in a photo.
5 ) Do you have a specific style that you like to shoot, such as portraits, fine art, photojournalism?
Well, pretty much all of the above. I do portraits professionally for a large company, as well as on my own. But, there is nothing like shooting something that no one else would see in the way I did through my camera.
6 ) What is your favorite photographic subject?
Old barns, I love them and have always been fascinated by them.
7 ) What gear do you shoot with?
I shoot a Nikon D300s with 18-55mm, 50mm Prime, and 55-200, as well as a few lensbaby lenses.
8 ) What is your favorite lens?
Hands down my 50mm 1.4
9 ) Do you shoot in Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority Or Manual?
Full manual ONLY
10 ) Where do you see your photography in 10 years?
I am hoping to open my own studio within two years. Crossing my fingers!
11 ) Do you have a tip for our readers?
Shoot manual! If you think you can't your wrong! Just force yourself, it will come and you will be happy you did!
12 ) Do you have a favorite photo of yours that you would like to share with us?

160.365 Vent Cap LR3 Test
Wednesday June 9 2010.
A friend of mine just go a copy of Lightroom 3 and was kind enough to let me import some photos to test it out. Let's just call it amazing. I've only tested it on a few photos but wow! I'm going to buy it for sure.
This is a vent cap for a 25000 liter fuel tank. I put it on my reflective fridge panel. Nice and clean but not too unexpected until you read this part.
This is shot at ISO 6400 on my 50D! f/16 for 1/40 sec. I've done nothing except import it in. The new process settings in LR3 are amazing. It removed the noise without me even touching the settings. I was able to bring back some of the detail on the side that was smoothed out a bit too much as well.
Wow.
