White Commute.

Today began with the snow still sticking to the trees, so I fired the camera along my route to work today.  The switch to Daylight Savings has made my commute fall into some nice dawn light.  This “carcam” shot from the start of the ride at the back of my house made a good alternate daily.  (It also fulfills another silly project of mine: to shoot a photo at my house on the 10th of March each year.  This started because on March 10, 2001, a big snowstorm dumped more than a foot of snow on NH.  The following year on the same day, there was no snow on the ground anywhere.  Extremes like that amuse me, and I like to think that a pattern of global warming (or not) will emerge with enough data.  Silly, yes.)

This shot was taken from inside my Audi TT, which is coming up on 8 years old.  And as is usually the case when the sun comes out in March, the snow was all gone from the trees when I departed work today.  Spring is coming.

Jeremy > July 3, 2008; Day 62.

I had great plans for tonight: either practice shooting fireworks in Manchester, or capture the first of my "4 Holidays" project. As you can see, mother nature had other plans tonight. Despite this, it appears that Manchester held their fireworks anyway, which is too bad because their rain date was Saturday, which would have given me a day to scout for a good location.

I took this shot with my pocket camera, a Casio EX-V8.  This camera is always with me for those times when the D80 is too cumbersome.

The D80 wasn’t silent all day; I did use it to take some shots of a very sweet gift from a friend. OK, a very tart gift, but it will be sweet when I’m done with it!

JPEG from camera, no post processing.
Jeremy > May 6, 2008; Day 4. This is me commuting to work this morning in my Audi TT (seven years old and showing it). This was taken with my widest lens, a Sigma 10-20mm set to 10mm. The dynamic range is a bit more than the camera can handle but I’m not sure HDR is viable from a moving car!

Astute viewers will observe that the tachometer and speedometer are both zero. Trust me, I didn’t Photoshop the motion you see through the window. My instrument cluster is fried and needs replacement!
