Friday. Long week. And now I’m dealing with summer traffic on “get away” Fridays–morons! I arrive home and immediately look for a cool one in the fridge… This was the view.
Canon G11 home for the weekend.

Images taken of my living space.
Rasta cactus silhouette
While chilling at the homestead yesterday I put the 70-300mm on the T2i and went looking for abstraction. After stripping out the color, this image fit the bill.
Lens: Canon EF 70-300mm at 210mm, f/7.1 for 1/320 second, ISO 200.

Salsify spokes
I pulled into the driveway after my long commute and saw a perfect, giant dandelion next to the garage–actually, the plant is called Salsify and has a 3″ diameter (dandelion-like) seed head. I shot some close-ups and here’s the one I liked the best.

It’s all subjective
While relaxing on the patio yesterday afternoon, I saw this half spent salsify (has a seed cluster like a giant dandelion) and thought “time to pull out the G11.” I took a least twenty shots of it–everything from fuzzy, hairy, swirly macros to underneath close-ups aiming into the bright sky shots (the G11’s articulating screen rocks for close-ups!). I picked this shot out of the batch. Why? Because for some reason it works for my aesthetic sensibility–aka, it’s all subjective.

Memorial Day expressionism
