The whole shootin’ match.

Micro macro

Since it’s my day off, and a long weekend (no commute–hooray!), I’m weaving in some older photos. Several weeks ago a tiny mushroom sprouted in one of the potted plants we have in our house. I figured I’d see how macro the macro function of the G11 with a fixed lens could go.

Here’s the mushroom:

And here’s the perspective shot:

Platform closed

Today I woke up early–2:30 AM. Must be the heat. Whatever it was I left early and had time to tripod some shots of the streetcat platform at 19th and Holloway (right in front of SF State). [The line is currently not running because of upgrades.] In the wee hours when very few people are mulling about the platform looks trés cool. These shots are a little “noisy” and I could have dropped the blacks to remove it, but I like the effect. Kind of reminds me of 16mm film.
