Photography Board Summer Assignment, 2010: Scavenger Hunt

[handicap18]

Here are a few over the last few weeks that I took with my phone and finally got them uploaded:

Cigar Store Indian

Daybreak (I'm pretty much always up and working during daybreak, but don't normally get a chance to get a shot. Got lucky with this one as I finished one of my stores right as the sun was coming up... not to bad for a cell phone):

Row of Flags:

Orange Cone (with construction worker): I see these all day long, but pretty much NEVER get a chance to snap a picture. This one I got while sitting at a red light. I hope to get a better picture before the hunt ends

outdoor Thermometer: (this is an outdoor thermometer that I keep in the back of my work truck.... not the best angle, but it actually hit 106* in the back of my truck on Monday)

 

[Pea-n-Me]

I'l try the celebrity picture again and see if it'll count this time. Kaitlyn Epperly is playing the piano and the arrow is pointing to her.

Thanks for the visual! (See post #666)

Andy-seems like there are quite a few of us from Massachusetts-at least 5 of us.

There are definitely more than 5. We were going to do a photo trip up to Portsmouth Light in New Hampshire about a year and a half ago and we had about 12 or so that were going to go. There were a few from New Hampshire and one from Maine IIRC, but the majority were from Mass.

Andy & I went to high school together. We did a photo shoot in Woods Hole with Linda a while back. Lots of fun. We need to do something like that again. Maybe another try at the Portsmouth Light tour. They have them on Sundays this year.

Look what they are doing this year at Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouse.
I just found out about it today and have to work that night. Just a couple more weeks and I'm off for 2 weeks.

I saw that on another site. There is also a boat tour out of somewhere up in that area that is doing similar tours to a bunch of different lighthouses.

The Portsmouth Lighthouse Open House is every Sunday from now till mid October 1pm till 5pm. Visitors get to climb to the lantern room to enjoy the magnificent view and to see the fourth-order Fresnel lens up close. Volunteers will tell visitors about the history of the light station, and there will be souvenirs for sale. There are 44 stairs to the watch room and a 7-rung ladder to the lantern room.

Great shots Kyle & Don.
There is at least two that I have seen in town and every time I see them it is without my camera. I almost made a U-turn the other day and followed the guy home.

I know!! The things we do!!! I got very strange looks from a guy on a motorcycle yesterday - he was coming out of his driveway and I was taking pictures of the hibiscus flowers in his garden (I was on the footpath). I'm sure he thought I was stalking him or something!!!

I know what you mean. Today I went with the disguise of booking a birthday party for my daughter (which we might do) at a local ride stable. At the end of asking questions about the party, I subtlety asked if they would mind if I could take some pictures. I am sure they thought I had a little P&S as I got some curious looks with my DSLR w/big lens on it.

I've always been a snappy happy point and shoot gal; and have only had the dSLR since mid April. I've tried out almost all modes on the dSLR since converting and am really happy with my new camera.

This week, I finally plucked up the nerve to move the switch to Manual mode.

Headlight Trails* The view from where I snapped my first attempts.

The view from where I snapped my second attempts. It's not the best photo in the world, but I'm rather proud of this next one. I spent 10 minutes lining this up and 20 minutes waiting for the right traffic condition. I wanted to line up the trail of a single onwards car with the trail of a single outwards car and find out what the trail would look like.

Illusion* The illusion of a Melbourne Tram!

Let me know if this doesn't meet with your definition of Illusion.

Good job! We've had Melbourne weather over the past few days... so as much I REALLY want to go out at night to get those headlight trails, I just can't make myself do it!!!

Ice-cream cone

Barber pole* Again one of those shots hastily taken while driving... A bit of a midget one but so relieved to find it! Been driving everywhere hunting for these endangered species

Yourself*

Jeep

Emergency** The fire engine had only just pulled out of the firestation which was about 50m back. I've also included a shot to show the sirens and lights going. Sorry about the quality. Had to shoot it through glass in the pouring rain. Will keep trying.

Inn Sign*

Freight train moving*

A photo of train front on so you can see the part of the train that is moving, and to show that its not a commuter train.

It was freezing that night...about 7 C/45 F. I'm still thawing out!

Great shots! I love the one of yourself and the ferry queue with the Opera House in the background. As much as us Melbournians will hate to say this, Sydney is just such a gorgeous city!
