Just one game this month, it’s been quite a busy month for me!

Mass Effect (8 hours) - This is a great game that I’d heard about for a long time, but never got around to playing.  A recent Steam sale made it cheap enough for me to give it a try and I’m really enjoying it.  I’m writing about my playthrough and you can read the first part here and the second part here.

Another Year of the Pig child in today’s Top 200 Photo

A great baby portrait of Lance, named after the bicyclist.

Back to Tai Shan for today’s Top 200 Photo

photo #83 is:

Tai Shan, who we’ve covered multiple times in the Top 200 Photo series, comes out to discover his birthday “cake”

Some more Photoshop fun for today’s Top 200 Photo

photo #84 is:

Another fun photo from when I was learning Photoshop. Note, it is not a mirror image, it’s a combination of two images.

A macro Top 200 Photo

photo #85 is:

I wanted to practice using my new macro lens and I didn’t have anything else neat to photograph, so I decided to go with a corn flake cereal.

Back to Philly and a concert for this Top 200 Photo

photo #86 is:

Taking photos during a concert is always hard. First of all, let me say that I think people should be allowed to shoot photos during concerts as long as they aren’t using flash. The point of going to a concert is to spend extra money on a band you really like in order to hear them live. You should be allowed a memento of the night. Anyway, a photo is not representative of a concert, so it’s not like I’m going to see a photo of a concert and decide not to go.

Back to Rockefeller for today’s Top 200 Photo

photo #87 is:

This is another photo from when I went to see the tree at Rockefeller Center. I like it because the way the lights are blurred follows a neat pattern.

Nostalgia for today’s Top 200 Photo

photo #88 is:

I can’t do any better than the description I have on flickr: (Although I’ve made some modifications for clarity)

My brothers and I were avid LEGO builders/players. This was our city. Of the sets here (back when 99% of the LEGOs didn’t have much of a facial expression) most of them are mine. The gas station, race track, RV, and police station were mine. Dan had the fire station, pizza place, and underwater set.

More fun experiments for today’s Top 200 Photo

photo #89 is:

In prior photos I used the flash in strobe mode to trace movement. But flash is also useful for freezing movement. This photo is from a series of experiments in freezing water droplets.

My latest Photojojo time capsule was released.  It’s a bunch of random photos mostly from around the 4th of July.
