Most everything in this frame is old. The “vintage” instruments and theatrical set made for some interesting compositions.

Old school cool
A Vespa and a Lincoln Continental, both ’60s vintage, parked under a street light. They have long since lost their showroom shine, but they still have that “cool” factor.

Friday night music
Last night we went out to see a friend’s band play some of their original material in a kind of theatrical setting. I brought my G11 along and took quite a few shots. I knew when I looked at the LCD screen after taking this shot that it was going to be a blog post. Sometimes you just know. The story is that the Hammond organ player is laying back while the sax player takes a solo.

Late summer looking up
I’ve been doing a fair amount of sky gazing during my vacation at the homestead–mostly while enjoying few beers out on the patio. The cirrus clouds that passed overhead during the mid-afternoon yesterday inspired me to pull out my T2i and start looking for upward angled compositions. Yesterday’s post was pairing the clouds with the patio umbrella. Today’s photo (also taken yesterday) mixes the clouds with the clothes line and a Chinese Pistache tree.
Lens: Canon EF-S 15-85mm at 42mm. 1/80 second at f/16, ISO 100.

Vacation view at f/22
I’m feeling 100% better so I’ve spent most of the day… practicing guitar. I did grab a few moments of quality time with my T2i while some cool summer cloud formations were passing overhead. This is the first photo I’ve published that was shot at f/22. In fact, today was the first day I took shots at f/22. And I forgot to check the ISO (vacation brain is lazy), so I was shooting at f/22, ISO 100 without a tripod. The trick: don’t breathe! đ
