Angry Robot BooksProject 365 – Day 31
Tools of the trade, or at least the hobby. One of many hobbies, and one i let go for long stretches so I never really get much better. But nice to have them around when the urge strikes.
Project 365 – Day 28
Stopped by a local used book store I like to check out every now and then. I don’t have the time to read nearly as much as I used to, but there is something about dropping in here and seeing what is on the new arrivals shelves I just can’t kick. Unlike most of the used bookstores in town this one Book Legger has pretty much anything, not just an abundance of romance. Don’t get me wrong they have plenty of those available, but they have a quality variety of everything else as well.
Project 365 – Day 27
Another close-up with the diopter filter. This time I’ll leave it to your imagination what this is. A hint, it once was alive and made a menacing sound.
Project 365 – Day 26
Not a lot to say about this one. Went to meet a friend for dinner and found most of the parking garage empty (it was still early) at the local people-quarium. Took this shot with the iPhone after the regular perspective shots seemed blah remembered a conversation I had at work with a co-worker about low angle shots. So here we have low angle and tiltshiftgen on the iPhone.
Project 365 – Day 25
This chess set was gift from my sister. I’ve always liked the style of the pieces and the board. I don’t play much, but once in a while Joani and I square off. We are evenly matched so it is usually a pretty good match.
Project 365 – Day 24
I took a shot similar to this with my diopter filters the first day I got them (the correct ones that is). This one is much better as that experience illustrated the need to clean things of dust as much as possible before zooming in. Then after you clean it , do it again. This is the side of a Razer gaming mouse, those numbers are buttons you can map to macros or they represent the number keys on the keyboard by default as well. I use them from time to time, but honestly my fingers are not nimble enough to make full use. I do however love the overall shape and feel of the mouse. Razer makes some great products and I would recommend them to anyone, gamer or not.
Project 365 – Day 23
Untold is a game a friend developed (with a couple of other locals). I got a chance to provide some art for a couple of the cards and some writing for their website. As can be implied from the start of this project I am a gamer and have been since way back in high school, so getting published in a game was a big kick for me. This picture sorta of melds all those hobbies into one. Gaming, 3D and photography.
Project 365 – Day 22
Have been meaning to move my office upstairs for quite some
time but dreading the actual process. This was the primary culprit.
It is a pretty large and VERY heavy desk. Emptied, broken down into
3 parts and moved from the back of the house upstairs and ready to
roll now!
Project 365 – Day 20
I thought i would cheat and post a shot of my setup in my office for taking some of the close up pictures I have posted. It is foam core board with tracing paper and some really cheap lighting. a flashlight and also a little led flashlight for highlights.
Project 365 – Day 19
I was playing with light a little here and less concerned with good depth of field. like the way the light ended up in this one, out of several shots. These are some more old family items. The Polaroid was a puzzle to open.
