A rainbow in today’s Top 200 Photo

photo #19 is:

Until I went to the Grand Canyon and saw an awesome rainbow there, this was the only photograph I had of a rainbow. I was going to a work breakfast when I was working at P&G and when I got out of my car it was there. I decided to photograph it before going inside. It languished mostly unseen until I posted it to a photography related forum. Then it shot up to 200 views in one day (from <50). Now it has 1239 views.

I feature in today’s Top 200 Photo

photo #20 is:

When I was first learning about stroboscopic images, I wanted to do something with humans, not just bouncing balls and scissors. It would be a while before I could get Dave doing martial arts. So I tried a few things, but it was hard to keep from interfering with myself and ending up with an indistinguishable mess. So I figured I could extend my arm out so each pulse would have my arm in a non-overlapping position. As you can tell, I started off fast and then realized I was going too quickly so the last few pulses are closer to each other.

Dave features again in this Top 200 Photo

I finally figured out the right number of flash pulses so that the separate images of David could be distinguished. I think it was the best photo we came up with that night.

And so, we as are about to enter the top 20 images, this image has, as the time of this writing, 1151 views.

Another Otakon photo in this Top 200 Photo

photo #22 is:

This photo was taken on the first time I discovered Otakon in Baltimore. We were just walking around Baltimore and noticed cosplayers here and there. At first I thought it was just a strange group of friends. But when we kept seeing more and more of them, I figured something was up. I didn’t know it yet, but it was the last day of Otakon. Since it was the last day and the convention was officially over, people could just walk into the convention center and so I did and took some candid shots with my 55-200mm lens. I didn’t know at the time that these people wanted to be photographed and were used to being photographed. So I was doing most of it candidly.

Back to the state fair for this Top 200 Photo

photo #23 is:

I’d seen pigs at fairs before, but this is the first time I’d ever seen piglets feeding. It’s pretty crazy to have so many babies feeding at once.

Water drops again in this Top 200 Photo

photo #24 is:

It’s another photo of water droplets creating ripples. However, there’s one key difference here. It was actually used (via the Creative Commons license) as the source of ripples for three different images. Check them out here: image 1 (http://www.worth1000.com/entries/545069/) image 2 (http://www.worth1000.com/entries/549272/) image 3 (http://fxh.worth1000.com/entries/574932/flying-blades)

Cornell once again for today’s Top 200 Photo

photo #25 is:

Once again, it’s the Pre-Dragon Day Runners previously featured here(link).

Another Photoshop creation in this Top 200 Photo

photo #26 is:

I created this during my earlier Photoshop period. It’s called “How the Ad Industry Sees Us”. I really like it a lot and I think it still stands on its own as a statement.

This photo time capsule mostly contains photos from my trip to the Grand Canyon.  (One of my favorite trips anywhere)

Cornell again for this Top 200 Photo

photo #27 is:

I previously featured the writing desks you can see at the very bottom of this photo. This is a wider view of the Andrew White reading room in Uris Library at Cornell. It has a somewhat magical and surreal feel to it. Part of it is from the fact that walkways are everywhere and part of it is the lighting. It’s a pretty awesome room to be in and looks like something out of a Hollywood set.
