Plug Me In! - Photo 18 - Project 365

It's amazing how much my telephoto lens lets me zoom in. The flip side is you have to hold VERY still to get good pictures because the zoom magnifies every little movement you make when holding the camera.

This is uncropped, of the plugin about 4 feet from where I was sitting. The orange-ish hue is a result of the low lighting.

Green Grasshopper - Photo 16 - Project 365

Tonight brought much excitement. Up next to the light was a bright green grasshopper. He so conveniently stayed still for me to shoot him :)

Carrying Your Love With Me...and Everything Else - Photo 15 - Project 365

I don't buy much 'stuff' and so I can get pretty excited about the stuff I do buy (school has a way of eating up all your money...). I've been toying with it for over a year and so I finally went out and bought a portable hard drive. Now I'll be able to carry all of my photos with me on the go. The literature that comes with it says it has room for 150,000 JPEG's...

Sunflowers in the Mountains - Photo 14 - Project 365

Since I'm making up the rules, it can't be cheating and I'm going to put up another photo. Perhaps it even works better when placed beside the mountains from earlier today. I love the colour in the flowers, especially against the quieter background. The flowers, with their bent and twisted petals, give a realism to the scene. How wonderful it is to be close to nature. :)

The Chevrolet - Photo 12 - Project 365

Here is the case of something relatively ordinary looking a little extraordinary. The car, parked the way it was, seemed to bode more energy and power than its simple surroundings suggest.
