Wed. January 7, 2009 (Day 267)

Very beautiful weather that we have in Houston today.
High 68F, nice breeze, and sunny!
I managed to leave the office by sunset- got a lot of things done,
it feels really good!!!

Hope your day is as good as mine!
karinaboese > Gladiolus
Tue. September 15, 2009 (Day 114)

An ancient name for the gladiolus was xiphium, from the Greek word xiphos, also meaning sword.
This flower represented the Roman Gladiators, before the African Gladioli became popular in the West.

It's...Weekend! O boy, o boy, o boy!!!
I woke up at 11am... had sushi for lunch... then we stopped at Lee's Cafe for their yummy coffee...
Very nice relaxing day so far.  I hope you do the same!

Tiny info:
*  the blurry area is the edge of a mirror.
*  lighting: SB600 (off camera) on the left; window lighting from the right.
karinaboese > Swoon
Sun. September 27, 2009 (Day 126)

We went to see the Strange Fruit performance again today.
They performed Swoon this time.  
I think it was worth suffering for 30 minutes under the full blast of the hot Houston sun!

See more shots under  Strange Fruit in Houston Gallery.

The sky was so blue and the lighting was perfect for taking outdoor pictures.  
I still can feel the heat underneath my skin... even after 8 hours.

Okay... I have enough with this experiment tonight. If you click on the links below, you'll see what I mean.

The whole idea was to get the  letter "B" on the cork on the right position when it hits the water.

What I did tonight:
* Followed John Murphys' info comment on Flash
* Set the ISO to 1/250 &  dark background as per Banjon's comment
* Inserted 2 screws in the cork for more weight for  bigger splash as per Mspenser's comment
*  100% water is better than wasting beer as per Johnloguk's comment
* I used  red wine since it was the red wine's Bogle cork as per rtimko's comment (but then I couldn't see the cork - LOL!!!)
* I put the 2nd flash with slave unit as fill-in from the left side of the frame as per Sunita's comments. It created a  nice star!

After all... I got that "B" upside down!!!  Well, at least I got a tiny splash & bubbles, no other post-processing except cropping. I'm happy with that.  
Tomorrow, I'll have to take a very simple shot... maybe another  sponge shot!

I can't THANK YOU enough to all of you who gave me GREAT suggestions/comments. I learned a lot in the past 2 days. Thank you so much!

Note re. Hershy Q:
I had to toss the rest of the red wine. The taste was horrible!

I'm running out of ideas for my Daily's...

Went to  Rudi Lechners for some Spaten tonight. Greg, Patty, and Michael joined us for yummy German-Austrian food & good entertainment. It's always cool to see the  Alpenhorn.  Thanks for coming out guys!  Prost!

I used Picasa & CS3 to add the soft & contrast.
karinaboese > Full of Passion
Sun. December 7, 2008 (Day 236)

We had very productive Sunday...
We cleaned up the garage, putting up Christmas decor,
and managed to stop by at my brother-in-law's new house.

There is this climbing vine with big  red flowers on side wall.
I had no clue what it was... 

 Johnloguk is RIGHT! It is Passion flower. 
I updated the caption already.  Thanks John!

Back to Basic (SOOC) day 5 of 8.

I went to Houston Camera Exchange to buy me a wide 77mm UV filter; they have this big Nikon trailler on their parking lot. Cool stuff, eh!?! 

OK...I know this is very lame shot. Come on, Sam- say it!  :))

Anyway- today is one of those days that I could really rely on post processing (some crop & vividity)!

Click here to see  this image after post-processing.

See Official Back to Basic  Kick Off shot.

Note:
SOOC = Straight Out of the Camera.
