My dear twin-click-buddy,  Shelly - SPC Creative, 
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you!!!!!!

I was surprised to learn that Shelly & I have the same birthdate!
Thank you all for the birthday wishes!

My in-laws gave me another surprise this year. 
We went to Donnelo town and took an airboat ride!
I've never seen such beautiful swamp before...

There'll be more pics later under  Places in The World Gallery.
karinaboese > Something about The 8 Ball
Tue. July 1, 2008 (Day 80)

I've been trying to understand CS3 all night & got very frustrated! 
It made me want to shoot something REEEAAALLY basic.  So I set my camera on the tripod, set it on Bulb (f/22, ISO 200); put the slave unit on S50DX (to be used as a fill in flash - I put this Flash on the corner); used my camera remote to trigger the shot; turned off the overhead light; used SB-600 to trigger the other flash... flashed it (on me) then (did it 3 times) release the shutter...
Voila!  

Need to find out how to make the flashes stronger (to make my twins come out solid), but I think it's good enough for a midnight shot at this moment.

Kurt - I'm not a big fan of flash either... but my choices were out to the backyard and get eaten by mosquitos, or play in the house :)
karinaboese > Playing on The Table
Sat. November 15, 2008 (Day 215)

It's a cool windy day in Houston. 
We are at 56F right now... 
I found this little friend out in the garden.
He spent quite some time walking on this table.
I took a bunch of pictures before it flew away. 
You can see them under the  Animals, Bugs, etc. gallery.

Stay warm, friends.
karinaboese > I'm Not Alone
Mon. June 8, 2009 (Day 15)

Sometimes when you think you're alone, you are not. 

It's 10:40pm... and I know I'm not alone.

Tiny info:
*  Shot at 30 sec. f/22 - manual.
*  Off camera flash (SB600) on the pool table, sync with built in camera flash. 
*  Once the SB600 flashed, I started painting with a battery powered flash light.
*  Added surreal edge effect on Lightroom to make it even weirder.

I don't know.. is it really weird?
karinaboese > Fun in The Sun
Sun. June 14, 2009 (Day 21)

We left Houston about noon and spent a day in Austin, Texas.
We took a   Cypress Valley canopy zipline then we had supper at Oasis Restaurant up on the hill. 
Gorgeous view of Lake Travis... but it was one very HOT afternoon indeed!

Got home very late... so this is SOOC. I need another Sunday!

(SOOC = straight out of camera)
karinaboese > Grandma on The Beach
Sun. January 25, 2009 (Day 285)

She really loves the beach, and thought she wouldn't see the beach anymore. 
She lives up north in Canada... 
When we all were down in Florida, we surprised her & took her to Daytona beach.  
She walked barefeet, touched the water, and really enjoyed the view...
and she survived 4 hours drive!

Today is one day before her 90th birthday. 

Happy birthday, Grandma!

ps:
She didn't know that I took this pic. This shot was taken after she touched the water and walked back to where we stood (dry spot).  I didn't know that she was smiling until I downloaded this file on the computer.

We had a very long day today. Started at 8:30am...
Today was FREAKING AWESOME day!!! 
Gorgeous day, plenty of sunshines & wind.

We visited the outside of White House,
then walked to WWII Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, 
and Washington Monument. 

I asked Pipie to take a photo of me,
under this gorgeous red maple tree. 

We had hotdog for lunch at the park, 
then took a metro at Smithsonian down to Alexandria.

More photos will be uploaded at  Washington Gallery.

I need to pack tonight... 
Houston, I'll be home tomorrow!!!

karinaboese > Let There Be Light
Thu. October 9, 2008 (DAY 178)

"Some things in life are bad,
They can really make you mad,
Other things just make you swear and curse,
When you're chewing life's gristle,
Don't grumble, Give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best.
And...

If life seems jolly rotten,
There's something you've forgotten,
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps,
Don't be silly chumps.
Just purse your lips and whistle. 
That's the thing...."
-Always Look on The Bright Side of Life, Monty Python-

Tomorrow will be a brand new bright day.  
My room will be so bright with this new bulb!
Happy almost weekend everybody!

Info:
* The backdrop is a plastic bag from art & craft store
* The main object is a real light bulb- brand new!
* Black leather piano seat was used as a table top
* Only reading lamp & room light were used for the shot
* More exif data, go to photo info. I also added the effect; info on keyword & file name.
