Some pomelo pieces I shot using my trusty flashlight, some kleenex to act as a diffuser, and a couple of white pieces of paper as reflectors. I'm not in love with the results, but it was fun experimenting with the light.

A Little Over A Year Ago
I captured this bee among the lavender in Berkeley, California, on a warm summer afternoon. With my Leica D-Lux 3, which takes pretty good pictures (at ISO 100, in raw) for a point and shoot.
I like the colors of this, that I was still brave enough to shoot on an angle for no apparent reason, and the fact that I can almost smell the lavender from here, half a world away.
Day 179 (September 6) - Glamor Shot
Okay, so I know there are way too many cat pictures on this blog. But what can I do? She's such a poser.
I promise, I'll try to cut down on the number of cat pictures in the next week, okay?
Day 177 (September 4) - Trio
If you've been reading my blog for a while you'll recognize these flowers,they grow in my yard. Pure luck allowed me to catch the insect in mid-flight on his way to have intimate relations with the flower. (That's what they do, right? The birds and the bees? Maybe I'm misremembering.)
Theoretically, triads are stronger photographically speaking than pairs. Odd numbers in general are thought to be better (more interesting) than even numbers. Your eye is supposed to search for the missing item to complete the image. I can't totally vouch for this, but it feels true.
In recent news, one of my photos was chosen to be put up today on Shutter Sisters. The one word project for September is 'play.' I submitted one photo (because I don't have that many that really capture play) and it was put up today. Here's the link if you want to see it. Check out the rest of their site as well, it's got some really beautiful posts and thoughts about all things photography. (Though, as you may have guessed, it is geared a bit towards the fairer sex. )
And by the way, Happy Birthday Evan!
Day 176 (September 3) - The Sky's the Limit
The sky here is always so beautiful. This shot doesn't do it justice. Every day I try to think about how to incorporate more sky into my photos, but there's a lot of clutter around. Most of my photos with sky I'm not happy with.
So here's one with almost all sky, and it soothes my hunger for sky just a bit. Thanks to all of you for understanding.
