Between fighting a hangover and preparing for the night shift, I didn’t get any time to hold a camera. Actually, I didn’t even feel any urge to do so anyway. It was just on my way to work I started thinking what will photograph today. Somehow the road looked nice with some cars on it and lots of street lights. Than I noticed that I don’t have to hold the camera to make pictures while driving – it can rest on the front panel of the car. So I set it up, switched to manual focus, set the exposure and shutter, pushed the button and started driving. I made about 10 shots along the way, out of which I liked these four.

Note to myself: make sure to wash the front windscreen even if it looks OK to the eye and try to have someone in the car, who will point the camera lower to the road and not to the dark skies.

Today’s assignment was to use a different camera. Something that doesn’t have all the bells and whistles. In fact, the less control – the better. The only other camera except my Digital Rebel that I have is the small and weak thingy on SonyEricsson P800.

I’ve made a total of 5 images and 3 are more-or-less OK. One is outstanding – my self portrait. It just has all there is to the snapshot with a crapy camera. I love it.

The album for today is here.

I guess you must be pretty tired of sunrises, sunsets and ships at sea. Well, if you aren’t – I am. I started the day with photographing yet another ship in the sea, but decided that it is enough and I should no more. At least for now.

Quick trip down to cafeteria and snack machine provided me with two bars of Snickers chocolate, which turned out to be a couple of lovely subjects. Decorating these was really easy – just put both of them on a piece of white paper from the printer. Set is ready. Now I wish I had a number of different lights with different output power and colors. But I hadn’t. So I played with opening and closing the windows, turning the office light on and off, and using on-camera flash. I guess it worked. I made about 20 shots out of which I have selected three. All three were slightly touched in Gimp. And here they are – the results.
