Daily Picture #10 + Camera info
Someone asked a good question the other day in one of the comment threads: "Do you colorize your pictures at all?"
Most of the pictures I put up are exactly how they were taken but with small changes to the exposure. Sometimes I'll want a picture a bit darker or lighter or to have a little more contrast, and I'll make these simple edits before I upload them. I don't ever mess with the colors though. Sometimes I'll change stuff on the camera to get certain effects, like switching white balance for example, but this is rare.
So: most of what you see is just what my not so great camera picks up. In case you'e wondering I have a Sony DSC-S60. It's decent, but not great. Cost around $200 when we got it.
Anyways, here's today's picture. Let me know if you have anymore questions.
-Red Smog
This is a good example of how I change lighting a bit. Initially, the low contrast made it impossible to see the detail in the sky, and as you can see, upping it brings out all the colors and swirls or the clouds.
Other things I like about this shot:
You can see the city in the lower left, as well as the bay bridge.
I love the light post in the middle of the shot, and the bench to the right. I need to go out again when we have a sunset like this and get one of my friends to lean against the lightpost, and another to be sitting on top of the bench.
Let me know what you think.

Daily Picture #9
- Lonely Flower
I really don't have many comments on this one. The color of the flower and the fact that it was just sitting there all alone made for an excellent photograph.

Another shot of the sky that I thought was neat. The contrast and colors in this are so cool. The black of the branches, hoe the sky changes from black to blue to purple to grey to white to yellow to orange to red. So much to look at.
-Enjoy and as always view a bigger version by clicking the picture.

Daily Picture #8
- Rise or Set?
For a while I was really interested in clouds: sunsets and sunrises and how the light scatters and reflect everywhere; how the clouds absorb it and the stunning colors...
This shot is neat. Taken from the tip of my roof. I won't spoil the question that's in the title of the picture. Try to guess for yourself.

Daily Picture #7
Sorry for missing a post yesterday. You know how it gets sometimes. Two pictures today to make up for it.
We're now into pictures I took after Boston.
First up is one I took in Sn Fransisco during Fleet Week.
- Mesh
This one is interesting because of the two opposite corners. There's granite in the lower one, and the upper shows the higher stories of the building. Then of course in between is the Metal latticework that caught my eye in the first place. You can also see the transamerican pyramid in the reflection of the glass.
- Gold
I love this picture. It's easily in my top 3. I shot it right after a storm had blown through, from my roof in the morning. The colors remind me of the film 'The Fountain'. Not much else to say here.
- Enjoy

Daily Picture #6 + 300th post
Woo hoo! Post #300! *looks around and notices that no one cares*
Well hopefully someone out there is still reading. I'm celebrating by posting three pictures today, which will finish up my collection of photos from Boston.
- Walking Away
I took a few like this and edited them slightly. I loved how there was this random reflection pool in the middle of the city. I wish we had gone there earlier in the day because we had driven by it and the water was completely calm and still and looked just like a mirror.
- Abandoned Dock
This looked so creepy to me. We were out on the point of the cape in the middle of a bustling downtown, and out on the beach is this abandoned dock that's falling apart. It looked so neat with the bright sand in front of it.
- Chatham Beach and Tennis Club.
Not much to say about this one. I like the whiteness of the house I guess...
-enjoy and leave comments!

Daily Picture #5
Fallen Comrade
This was the first picture for me that I really looked at artistically. I purposefully set up the angles and framing for this shot. It's so interesting. The blackness of the box, the little reflections of the glass, the symbolism (which I thought was most important/cool), and the colors.

Daily Picture #4
- King's Chapel
I took this while on our historical tour around the city. The chapel was a little bit creepy. I thought the obelisk in the front looked really neat.
Enjoy

Daily Picture #3
For some reason this was on the outside of a historical building in downtown Boston. Does this mean the wall are lined with lead? I don't know, but I thought it was interesting and photo worthy.
Also: Be aware that you can click the photo to view larger sizes (for those of you with extra large monitors) You can also comment the photos on flickr.
