Yet another close up shot. I'm working on getting better detail in these close shots. This might be a bit better.

Day 23: Congrats Ken and Chelsea
Congratulations to the bride and groom. The entire day was great. I got to play DJ at the reception and had a blast.
Day 22: Point and Shoot
I'm catching up tonight on my photos from the past few days. Friday night I was trying to get a good reflection on this lens, but it wasn't the best surface or lighting.

Photos Coming Soon
I was doing some wedding stuff last night and got home late. It will be more of the same today. So no time to process pictures that I took yesterday or today. I will catch up on Sunday.

Day 21: Fruit
Another late session tonight. I wanted to add take a photo that had some contrasting colors. I got that a little bit with this one. The background definitely takes away from this shot and I probably should have focused on a different piece of fruit. It may have helped to move the melon more to the right as well. As I mentioned in the photo caption, the shadows from the lights were really bad. So I shut most of them off and did a 30 second exposure to get this as bright as possible.
As always, any feedback is welcomed.

Day 20: Dinner
Madison is nearing the end of her latest cold as she has handed it off to Dad. Here she watches the next bite of dinner coming in.

Day 19: Speedplay
I took a close look at one of the pedals on my bike. It looks like there have been better days for this guy. This image is not as nearly as sharp as I would have liked it to be and I'm not in love with the composition either. I just ran out of time tonight.

Day 18: Play Ball
Keeping with the recent theme of up close photographs, I decided to shoot this baseball I found over the weekend. Feel free to critique the shot. I'm happy to accept any compositional (or other) suggestions you are willing to give.

Day 17: Sick Again
How many times can one child under 6 months get sick? I think we are going for the record. At least we had a couple healthy days this time.

Day 16: eSATA
This is another close up shot with a 12mm extension tube. I'm trying out a couple different things to add borders to some of the shots. What do you think? Does the border add anything to this photo?
Day 15: Ball Point
I do not have a macro lens yet. Tonight I was playing around with my Kenko Extension Tubes and my 50mm f/1.8 and came up with the following shot of a pen on my desk. I think it turned out pretty good. Although, I probably should have cropped a bit to improve the composition.

Day 14: Bright Flower
Wendy, Madison and I went for a walk after work today and saw this bright guy standing out in a shaded area.

Day 13: The Hawaiian Moon
We picked this up in Honolulu last year. It's a nice wine holder made from Koa.

Day 12: Night Lights
This is my 2nd night shot. I'm not that happy with the results since this is not a very interesting photo. It was taken at 9pm with a 10 second exposure since it was so dark. I like the concept of this shot, I just need to find a more interesting subject. This is unlikely to happen any time soon since I can't venture too far from home late at night.

Day 11: A Dark Shadow
No time for photos again today. I quickly put something together so I don't miss a day already in the 2nd week. There is a long way to go yet.

Day 9: A Diamond in the Rough
Yet another flower shot. It's a good time of the year for flowers with everything blooming around us.

Day 8: Calla Lily
It seems there is not enough spare time to do much photography these days. So I'll just take what I can get until my schedule opens up a bit. This calla lily is growing near the front of our house.

Day 7: Precious
I waited as long as I could. I just had to have a day with Madison being the photo of the day.

Day 6: Weed?
I found this purple and gold clover shaped flower in a collection of clover and weeds near the house. I have no idea what it is? Anyone out there know what it is?

Day 4: Night Time Palms
Would you believe I took this at 9 pm? I cranked the ISO up to 800 and left the shutter open for 10 seconds. Pretty cool for only being lit by an outside lamp post.

Photography Project 365
Day 1 - I want to spend more time learning to use my camera. I recently heard about project 365. Even though I have very limited time to devote to this, I will attempt to post 1 photo every day for a year in hopes that it will help me learn about photography.
