Images taken of my living space.
Here’s a Holga-esque impression of a little statuette we have in the house. I set the statuette against a black backdrop and kept it dusty because I liked the dust effect in yesterday’s shot.
Settings: 6.1mm (28mm equivalent), ISO 200, 1/60 second at f/4.0, flash compensation set to -1. Hand-held–like most of my shots.
Effects: B&W conversion, Nik Silver Efex (slightly tweaked “Holga” preset), blueish color cast added in Photoshop.

Rain rain rain–no stopping on the commute during the deluge. Once I got home I pulled out the G11 and started snapping shots in the house. This close-up shot of the man lamp in our living room was the best of the lot. I used manual controls with flash, compensation set at -1, on this one. Love the dusty detail.
Settings: 6.1mm (macro), 1/60 second at f/3.5, ISO 200.

Here’s a little rainy day photo play. For phun (photography + fun), I set the G11 on macro and snapped some close-ups of the iron and driftwood piece on our patio. I converted the image to black and white because the idea was about contrast and texture. This shot was the fave.
G11 settings: 15.7mm, f/3.5 for 1/15 second, ISO 100.
Black and white conversion: Nik Silver Efex Pro (version 1).

Beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig oraibh! In celebration of my Irish roots (on my Mom’s side), here’s a little shot of the shamrocks outside our kitchen door (actually it’s sourgrass [oxalis]–not white clover, but close enough).

On weekends when I’m chilling at the homestead I rarely feel the urge to get in the car to go out on a photo expedition. But, more often than not, I do get the urge to use the camera. That means I have to focus on what’s immediate in my surroundings.
Lens: Canon EF 70-300mm IS USM. Both shots were taken at the same settings–300mm, 1/500 second at f/5.6, ISO 200.
