tooth & nail @ night [Day 2390]

Shot a wedding today. That was tiring, but fun! Amazing venue, too. I love how it looked as the sun was almost down. Fortunately, my camera can shoot at ISO 12,800 reasonably well.

no vacancy [Day 2389]

Was out at the Paso Robles Inn this evening to shoot an event. Since it’s an event I’m shooting for someone else, I decided not to use one as photo of the day, and instead, grabbed a shot of the nice neon signs while I was heading back to my car.

petals [Day 2388]

Got a new lens today, the Canon 100mm f/2.8L IS Macro. It’s my first macro lens, and it’s pretty damn nice. I had a chance to play with it last fall when a friend loaned me his, and I knew I eventually had to have it. Finally, I do!

california poppy [Day 2386]

Getting today’s photo done while out to lunch. It’s so nice to get out in the middle of the day for a short little walk and photo break!

hampton bay [Day 2385]

My housemate recently installed a ceiling fan in the computer room, which is pretty great since it’s getting  bit hot in there as the summer comes into full swing (plus, y’know, computers tend to generate a bit of heat.)

As is often my way, I had to take a photo of it. Ceiling fans are a frequent subject, mostly because they tend to have lights involved.

tooth & nail winery [Day 2383]

Did a little location scouting and venue tour this evening for an event I’m shooting next week. The location (Tooth & Nail Winery) is pretty fantastic!

beats [Day 2382]

I’ve been wanting to get a nice pair of wireless headphones, and now that Beats is technically a part of Apple, I decided I had to go for those. They take a lot of criticism that the price doesn’t match the quality, but then again, so does Apple and I’ve always preferred Apple’s products to others. But I tend to care a lot about polished product design and visual flair. The fold up design, metal hinges, light up battery meter, and yes, the color, really helped sway me. But it was the fact that these included a case that finally pushed me over the edge. Well, that and the whole being owned by Apple thing…

Oh, and taking a photo of the side of your hard is pretty much a total pain in the ass…

I see that someone in the city planner’s office was really out of ideas…
