MD State Fair
I went to the Maryland State Fair Monday to get some time lapse shots of the rides and various fair settings. Here are some of the highlights:
My Beautiful Wife
Sometimes my wife is allows me to use her as a model in my photography. Here are some recent shots as she tried various techniques with eye makeup.
I just love black and white portrait photography!
flickr goes gamma and adds new features!
This whole time, flickr has been technically beta software. Well, as they went gamma, they have decided to add a great new feature based on mashups that people were already doing using Google Maps API - they are providing a map of the world where users can drag their pictures to the spot it was taken. It then gets geotagged with that spot. So for those of us who don’t have some GPS method of figuring things out, flickr has made it easy for us. And, any photos you have previously geotagged with long/lat will automatically be mapped. So far people are complaining that there’s only good coverage in the USA map whereas Google has good coverage world-wide. I expect this to be fixed soon, though, as more and more people complain. I know that a good portion of the pictures I like to visit are created by non-US nationals.
Arachnaphobic?
This little guy stayed alive and stayed still long enough for me to photograph him. Then Danielle squished the life out of him. Hopefully he doesn’t go Agrajag on her. (Hitchhiker’s reference)
