Day 32
Trump is a hypocrite. He's already spent time on multiple weekends playing golf after bashing Obama for playing.
Day 31
He continues to spread lies. Lies that are easily proven false. When will people stop listening?
Day 29
How long will this actually go on? NY Times article
Day 28
It's only been 28 days since Trump took office and these are the headlines. It's important to recognize and remember that this is not normal.
Unmoving
This little guy literally hasn't moved in weeks. Not sure exactly when he got stuck there.
Day 2 with the pepper
I think I came closer today. There was more natural light coming in from outside so I was able to close the f stop farther and still take a 30 sec shot. I don't have a remote for my bulb timer so right now it requires that I hold the button down the entire length of the shot. :( I did 2 slightly different versions of the same shot. I'll see if they still look different when they are loaded on the web. The differences should be subtle. Also I think I need to by a better pepper - there are dry spots in this one and it's really obvious in close-up photography. While I am using photoshop to edit the photos I don't want to do whole-pepper spot removal. At least not yet.
Overall I think the second one is a little flatter. Too many midtones, not enough blacks in the pepper itself.
Edward Weston Peppers
I am going to shift focus, or rather give myself some focus, and try to replicate the silvery tones of Edward Weston's Peppers. Particularly Pepper No. 30. I know that I am not there yet but I will be posting the end result each day as proof of my work and to keep me honest in this pursuit.
A cool drink on a warm day
I like the phone and hand reflections.
