Day 174/365 – Steering Wheel

So I was parked outside of our local auto repair shop waiting for my wife to drop her car off. So I thought i would take an iPhone photo of my steering wheel. To be honest, it’s not a very exciting picture. I won’t lie to you, or should I say, I won’t steer you in the wrong. 😉

Day 173/365 – Message In A Bottle?

Ok, so my kids got a small rubber lizard that was about 2″ long. We squeezed it into an empty 2 litter bottle and filled it up with water. Now the thing is the size of the bottle. So what I was thinking was to bring this out sea and drop it into the ocean with a note inside as well saying:

Dear Friend, please take care of my pet lizard as I have been stranded on a desert island and cant take care of it any more. His name is Larry the Lizard and he loves it when you sing 80’s ballads. Thank you my friend for taking on this responsibility.

Mike

P.S. Please be careful taking him out of this bottle.

Day 171/365 – My First Attempt At Capturing Fireworks

Ok, so I’m not the best at photographing Fireworks…. Yet ;). Right not I am learning to shoot at night with manual settings. None of this auto exposure setting stuff you see in point and shoot cameras. Not that they’re bad, photography is an art/science. Anyways, if you have any tips for me or any comments, please let me know. I think I will have a couple more of these in the coming days.

Day 170/365 – Testing 1…2…3…

I was in the street setting up to shoot some local fireworks (not the kind the city does, but the kind a local police officer on that lives on my street has, don’t get me started). As I was setting up, I was taking some test shots to see how some low light photo’s would look. This isn’t a shot of fireworks today, but if any came out half decent I will include them on another day. It will take time to go through the hundreds of photo’s I took. Anyways, I shot a street light trying to see what the current settings on my camera would give me. Shooting in low light can be tricky. I hope you like it. I was really testing my abilities for when the real fireworks come to town.

Day 169/365 – A Walk In The Park, No Sitting Allowed

I was walking with my wife and kids in a park called Holmes Field. It was an awesome day for a stroll with the family. We saw what looked like a bench, but with weeds and grass growing through every nook and cranny. Look at the size of those leaves. I guess the City of Worcester hired the wrong landscaping crew.
